I just wrapped ~200 robotics peer conversations in SF.
Now I’m bringing that same energy to Boston for #RoboticsSummit this week.
Who should I meet to make Boston as productive? Hardware hackers, humanoid teams, automation founders, researchers 🤖
Hit me up!!

We've been heads down in the deployment layer for a while now, working through the exact friction points between hardware and software that most teams hit when trying to get robots into real environments.
If you're running into those walls, we'd love to chat and help you work through them.
robotics is inherently about hardware, however I'm meeting more and more founders who want to find a software (or just non-hardware) business to build for robotics. thoughts:
> software is behind hardware (so this realization is correct, but not unique), and "robot brain" is indeed a hard problem to solve (further out than most think). that being said, I don't think solving robot intelligence as a company that is neither 1) collecting data (either by robot deployment, or other means) nor 2) a true research company like PI makes a lot of sense
> Selling dev tools to robotics companies is a horrible business idea right now (sounds smart, but not enough robot deployments + nowhere near the #1 pain point)
> the most obvious non-hardware opportunity is in the deployment gap. specifically, imo the demand for businesses in manual labor that want to try robotic solutions *today* I believe is much greater than most people realize, however no robot (humanoid to service bot) is ready to work out of the box (i.e. someone needs to come set them up, teleop, maintain etc). if I were thinking about a business, I would think about doing something that helps old-school, regular-ass businesses put robots into their space
tl;dr build stuff that actively puts more robots into the world
@arian_ghashghai we've shifted our focus toward exactly this, the deployment gap is real. Businesses want robots today but the setup, integration, and maintenance layer is completely missing.
happy to share what we're building
Btw we were demoing our reliability platform for robotics deployments (Compatible with Isaac Sim)
If you’re deploying robots, come talk to us. We can save you hours (or days) of iteration
