What this episode covers

Florian Pestoni, Co-Founder and CEO of InOrbit, explains how his company provides 'chronic care' for robotic fleets by acting as a cloud-based data layer that maximizes robot utilization and efficiency. He details the concept of #RobOps, adapting software DevOps principles to robotics to reduce mean time to detection and resolution for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operating in chaotic environments like retail stores. Pestoni shares his transition from a digital health startup to robotics, noting that his co-founder’s background at Willow Garage revealed a lack of infrastructure for real-world robot operations, leading to the creation of InOrbit's platform.

    Baseball & robotics startups during COVID-19; ROS on Windows 10

    AJ Mayer, CEO of the Boston-based Pickle Robot Company, explains how his startup uses reinforcement learning and deep neural networks to automate loading and unloading trucks with their 'Dill' robot, targeting brownfield logistics facilities rather than fully automated warehouses. He details the 'supervisor ratio' business model, where human operators handle the 2% of edge cases the robot cannot manage, and discusses the challenges of selling to enterprise customers during the pandemic. The episode also features Dave Niewinski from Clearpath Robotics, who discusses the strategic benefits of supporting ROS on Windows 10 for their Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), highlighting easier IT integration, cloud connectivity via Azure, and lower barriers to entry for corporate clients.
