Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R AV&R Company

In this new episode of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, we're excited to welcome Ben Williams, the Chief Operating Officer of Exyn Technologies. Besides acting as COO for Exyn, Ben is an active mentor for early-stage startups and entrepreneurs, he consults and speaks throughout the New York and Philadelphia startup scenes.
Exyn Technologies is at the forefront of autonomous robotics, spearheading innovations in GPS-denied and infrastructureless autonomy for robots tasked with a diverse range of functions. During this enlightening conversation, Ben sheds light on the significant impact of this technology, particularly in high-risk industries like mining and construction. The drones and robots that Ben’s team deploy, are out in the field finding their own way around, getting some dangerous work done.


Tune in for an enlightening conversation on the cutting edge of technology and the future of the autonomous robotics.

In this new episode of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, we're excited to welcome Robert Wesley, who is a Supplier Program Manager for Boeing Defense, Space & Security. Robert not only dedicates his time to Boeing, but also is passionate about the progression of minorities within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields.
Within Boeing, their Autonomous Systems division focuses on developing unmanned vehicles that operate in the sea, across the ground, in the air and beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Robert takes us on a journey through some of the programs he was part of, including the MQ-25, an uncrewed aircraft used to refuel fighter jets and the MQ-28 which is essentially an autonomous smart team player helping existing crewed fighter jets project their force in combat situations.
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation covering some of the most advanced robotics that are changing the landscapes of land, sea, and air.
