What happens when AI moves beyond software and into the physical world - through robots and humanoid robots working alongside humans? How do organizations redesign work when machines don’t just support decisions, but actually execute tasks? In this episode of The Future of Less Work , host Nirit Cohen sits down with Burkhard Boeckem, Chief Technology Officer at Hexagon , to explore how “physical AI” is entering real-world workplaces from factories to autonomous systems. They discuss how work is shifting from individual roles to human-machine systems, why trust becomes the central challenge when AI operates in physical environments, and what it takes to bridge the gap between what these technologies can do in theory and what actually works in practice. Guest Information: Burkhard Boeckem is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Hexagon, where he leads the company’s innovation goals for a future shaped by autonomy, robotics, and spatial intelligence.
