Prag Mishra, Armada | theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Physical AI & Robotics

In this episode of theCUBE, host John Furrier interviews Prag Mishra, the Chief AI Officer of Armada, about the evolution of edge computing and its significance in the realm of physical AI and robotics. Mishra highlights ARMADA’s vision for creating a fully orchestrated operating environment at the edge that merges compute, storage, networking, and security to support AI applications in remote and critical settings. He discusses the importance of modular, AI-native factories at the edge, contrasting them with traditional centralized data centers, and emphasizes the ongoing shift towards real-time intelligence for industries such as oil and gas, mining, and maritime operations. The conversation also touches on Armada's partnership with NVIDIA and how accelerated computing aligns with energy availability in the emerging landscape of an AI grid, fostering new efficiencies and capabilities.
