Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

From Know-how to Wow - the Bosch Global Podcast Aaaaand stop! Ugh, do you know that jolt in your body just before a braking car comes to a complete standstill? That's a thing of the past: Bosch engineers have made it disappear. They use an EV's electric drive to provide extremely smooth, software-controlled braking. This feature, called e-brake to zero, is just one example of how algorithms can improve the driving experience. While Melena tries it out on a test track with Bosch expert Thomas Friedrich, Shuko and Bosch product owner Enrico Haberkern see what else Vehicle Motion Management can do. The core idea is that a driving task is no longer performed by a single actuator, but by an intelligent combination of actuators. Let's get started!…

From Know-how to Wow - the Bosch Global Podcast Fake! Or is it? It's getting harder and harder to tell if something is real or not. This applies not only to images or facts, but also to physical goods such as consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals, or luxury watches. Bosch engineer Louis Tepper is part of a team that has developed a solution: Origify is able to scan and recognize the surface of an item based on a simple smartphone image. Melena and Shuko test it. In the process, they learn a lot about the luxury and vintage watch industry. They meet a young Danish watchmaker, Rune Bakkendorff, who builds watches from scratch. Origify, it turns out, could not only help consumers identify counterfeit products, but also help experts authenticate spare parts or industry identify parts too small for serial numbers or QR codes.

From Know-how to Wow - the Bosch Global Podcast Prompt battle! We've all tried giving generative AI chatbots instructions that yield useful results. Recently, GenAI has rapidly expanded across various industries. But can it help drive a car? Dr. Liu Ren, Vice President and Chief Scientist for scalable and assistive AI at Bosch Research, is confident it can. He and his team are at the forefront of integrating foundation models such as large language models or vision-language models with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In this episode, Liu explains to our hosts, Shuko and Geoff, how the extensive knowledge contained in foundation models can enhance the perception, prediction, and planning capabilities of ADAS. What's even more impressive is that Bosch Research’s approach works despite the constrained resources typical in vehicle environments. As Liu shares his cutting-edge research, Shuko and Geoff go head-to-head in a challenge: Who can craft the cleverest prompts for GenAI?

From KNOW-HOW to WOW - the Bosch Global Podcast The OGS, the Optical Gas Spectrometer, is a feat of engineering. In the previous episode, we discussed what it can do and how it works. Today, Bosch associate and OGS inventor Alex Stratmann talks more about turning Raman spectrometers into an industrial product. Many considerations had to be made, from the custom laser source to the material used for the seals, and we also learn that OGS development hasn't stopped: The team is working on a high-pressure version and on efforts to measure almost any gas in the world.

From Know-how to Wow - the Bosch Global Podcast Take a deep breath. What you just breathed in was probably about 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen and some minor other components. But how do you measure that? Measuring gases and their concentrations has been pretty difficult, says Bosch physicist Alex Stratmann. His team’s invention, the optical gas spectrometer, OGS, is set to change that. It packs what used to be a complex lab setup into a tabletop device. OGS leverages Raman spectroscopy, a method that exists for about a 100 years and has been used e.g. in the art world to analyze pigments. Our hosts Melena and Shuko learn from Cristina Aibéo, a chemist at Berlin’s National Museums, how Raman spectroscopy can help solve crimes and also save energy. At Bosch, on the other hand, the OGS helps with measuring hydrogen - and thus with the transition to a green hydrogen economy. Breathe in, breathe out, hit play!

From KNOW-HOW to WOW - the Bosch Global Podcast You’re driving in your car, you notice a new restaurant as you drive past and you wonder: What was that? A car of the not-so-distant future may be able to answer that question. Because it knows what a driver (or passenger) is looking at - be it a landmark on the side of the road, the dashboard, or the road ahead. In the first place, monitoring the driver's gaze and head position enables important safety features, says Bosch product manager Tyler Warga. Geoff and Shuko learn how cameras and radar sensors can pick up signals that people are subconsciously sending. This can help prevent drunk driving, reduce distractions, and save children's lives. Future autonomous cars could even benefit from a sense of the driver's emotional state: they could pick up on Duchenne smiles. As University of Missouri professor Kennon Sheldon explains, this type of smile signals honest amusement. So be amused and wowed when you join us for a sensor-packed ride!
