The Missing Interface: Designing Trust into a Robotic Future
The next era of robotics and AI won't be defined solely by technical breakthroughs but by how well these systems integrate into human environments. No matter how powerful the sensors or how technical the learning models are, without user trust, adoption will stall.
The Battery Bottleneck Holding Robotics Back
In this conversation, he explains how energy needs vary across robot categories, why current systems are holding back innovation, and what battery breakthroughs could mean for the future of robotics.
Why Smart Fleets Are Betting on ADAS Before Autonomy Arrives
Although regulating the safe use of fully autonomous vehicles across jurisdictions and international routes still has a fair bit of ironing out to do, AT providers and OEMs are making stark improvements to the technology inside our trucks.
