Tech Inspired with Carolyn O’Brien
<p>Can you love rockets, dresses, data pipelines and pop concerts, and still become a CTO who shapes meaningful technology? </p><p>The answer is a clear Yes! In this episode of Tech Inspired, TechFace Managing Director Priska Burkard speaks with CarolynO’Brien, German‑American engineer and CTO of Weytec. Weytec ia a Swiss “hidden champion” building human‑centric control room tech used in transport, energy and security. Carolyn’s path runs from aerospace engineering at MIT to beingone of only two women in a 250‑person mechanical engineering cohort at ETH, through 14 years in med‑tech startups, an industry PhD and, today, leading product and platforms across hardware and software. </p><p>You’ll discover how an all‑girls rocketry team called “The Valkyries” sparked Carolyn’s belief that women fully belong in STEM, and why that early community still shapes how she leads. You’ll hear how she handled the shift from gender‑balanced MIT lecture halls to being “the foreign woman in a dress” at ETH, and how she refused to drop her identity just to be “one of the guys.” Carolyn also shares why she chose an industry PhD to get into rooms she was previously excluded from, and what it took to move from hands‑on mechanical engineering to managing DevOps, IT, UX and platform teams. </p><p>We explore how to be honest about what you really enjoy at work, avoid becoming the “office mommy,” and decide whetheryour next step is deep expertise or people leadership. We also touch on the future of tech, from AI to evolving infrastructure, and why staying curious and regularly learning uncomfortable new tools might be your biggest career advantage. </p><p>Hit play to hear how Carolyn builds a career on purpose, resilience and growth, and to ask yourself: what could change if you stopped waiting for permission and started backing your own potential? </p><p>Connect with Carolyn O’Brien<br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-o-obrien" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-o-obrien</a></p><p>Information about Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin<br /><a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Dorothy-Hodgkin" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/biography/Dorothy-Hodgkin</a></p>

Tech Inspired with Andie Zhang
<p>Robots aren’t coming “someday", they’re already building the world around you.</p><p> </p><p>In this final episode of our Tech Inspired Physical AI & Robotics series, Andie Zhang joins Priska Burkard for a grounded, eye-opening conversation on the real future of robotics - beyond the viral humanoid headlines.</p><p> </p><p>From collaborative robots assembling your everyday products to AI-powered automation transforming factories, labs, and logistics, Andie takes us inside the world where physical AI is already driving impact at scale.</p><p> </p><p>And spoiler - the future of robotics isn’t just about machines, it’s about people.</p><p> </p><p>In this episode, we unpack:</p><p>- What physical AI actually means beyond the buzzwords</p><p>- Why industrial robots are evolving faster than most people realise</p><p>- The hidden challenges behind “smart” robots - from precision to trust</p><p>- How AI is changing manufacturing, automation, and the future of work</p><p>- Why diversity and human-centred design are critical to building better technology</p><p> </p><p>And perhaps most importantly:</p><p>👉 Automation is not only about replacing tasks.</p><p>👉 It’s about empowering humans to focus on more meaningful work.</p><p>👉 And building technology that works with people - not against them.</p><p> </p><p>Andie also shares her own unconventional path into robotics - from engineering to business, product strategy, and global innovation leadership - proving there’s no single way into tech.</p><p> </p><p>Whether you're curious about robotics, exploring a future in AI, or wondering how physical AI will reshape industries over the next decade, this episode gives you a sharp, realistic, and surprisingly human perspective on what’s next.</p><p> </p><p>🎧 Tune in for a conversation that cuts through the hype and gets real about the opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities of building the future.</p><p> </p><p>🔗 <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andiezhang/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Connect with Andie Zhang</a> and follow her work.</p><p> </p><p>🤖 This episode closes our April focus series on Physical AI & Robotics.</p><p> </p><p>Over the past weeks, we’ve spoken with leading experts, founders, researchers, and innovators shaping the future of intelligent machines - bringing you the hottest takes, practical insights, and real-world perspectives on what comes next.</p><p> </p><p>Did you catch the previous episodes?</p>

Tech Inspired with Yulia Sandamirskaya
<p>What if AI didn’t just think, but also moved, learned and worked alongside us?</p><p> </p><p>In this episode of Tech Inspired, Yulia Sandamirskaya joins Priska Burkard to unpack the next frontier of innovation: Physical AI and cognitive robotics.</p><p> </p><p>Essentially it is about what happens when intelligence leaves the screen - and enters the real world.</p><p> </p><p>Yulia has spent her career building at the intersection of physics, neuroscience, and AI. Today, she leads cutting-edge work in cognitive computing - developing robots that don’t just execute tasks, but adapt, decide and collaborate with humans.</p><p> </p><p>And here’s where it gets real:</p><p> </p><p>👉 Physical AI isn’t just harder - it’s a whole different game.</p><p>👉 Timing, safety, energy, and real-world complexity matter.</p><p>👉 And the smallest overlooked detail? It can break the entire system.</p><p> </p><p>In this conversation, we explore what it truly takes to build robots that work with us - not around us:</p><p> </p><p>- Why moving from digital AI to physical AI changes everything</p><p>- What makes “cognitive robots” fundamentally different from traditional automation</p><p>- The hidden challenges slowing down robotics (hint: it’s not just the tech)</p><p>- How real-world environments - from care homes to logistics - reshape innovation</p><p>- Why the future of robotics depends on understanding people just as much as machines</p><p> </p><p>💡 And one powerful reality check:</p><p> </p><p>The future won’t be built in labs alone, it will be shaped where technology meets real human needs.</p><p> </p><p>This episode is for the curious minds, the builders, and anyone wondering what happens when AI steps into the physical world - and what it will mean for how we live, work, and care for each other.</p><p> </p><p>🎧 Tune in now and explore how robotics is evolving from automation to true collaboration.</p><p><br></p>
