    A Disaster Waiting to Happen | Get Up, Stand Up

    Phil Copelman, co-founder of Edge Case Research, argues that SAE Level 3 autonomy is a safety disaster because the standard's complex handoff requirements are unintelligible to drivers, creating a dangerous gap between engineering definitions and human understanding. The episode also examines Amazon's labor practices through the lens of Robin Gaster, author of 'Behemoth, Amazon Rising,' discussing the unionization vote at the Bessemer, Alabama facility and the company's culture of worker disposability. Additionally, the hosts cover Arm's announcement of its V9 architecture and Boston Dynamics' new 'Stretch' warehouse robot.

    Episode 132: Collaborating with industrial robots - Anthony Jules

    Anthony Jules, CEO and co-founder of Robust.AI, discusses the design and deployment of Carter, an AI-driven collaborative mobile robot for warehouses. Jules explains how Carter uses cameras instead of LIDAR to achieve semantic understanding, allowing it to navigate safely alongside humans and empower floor associates rather than replace them. He details the company's 'fleet learning' strategy, where data from individual robots is aggregated in the cloud to improve AI models offline, ensuring consistent productivity for clients like DHL without disrupting live operations.
