E14. Qin Shentao: Building a New Organ for Humanity | Beipo Project

🎙️ Episode Introduction

Making machines more human-like has been the dominant direction in embodied intelligence over the past few years.

But there's another path: instead of having machines learn from humans, enabling humans and machines to co-evolve. When human skills, experience, and intent can be understood, transmitted, and amplified, human-machine integration may enter a fundamentally different paradigm.

In this episode of Signal and Noise, we invited Qin Shentao, founder of OriginFlow and a Gen-Z PhD entrepreneur from Tsinghua University, to discuss a technical approach distinct from brain-computer interfaces, motion capture, and exoskeletons — starting from motor neural signals, enabling machines to understand human intent before movement occurs, and building the first-generation interface for Human to Robot Transfer.

Beyond the technology, we also spoke with him about entrepreneurship, calling, and vitality — why building a company is a form of Life in Gaming, and why some questions are worth answering with your entire life.
