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

In the 1st episode of this new season of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, with Bern Grush, Executive Director of the Urban Robotics Foundation and Chief Innovation Officer at Harmonize Mobility, unpack Toronto City Council December 17th decision to ban robots on their streets and sidewalks. 
In this conversation, we learn how Bern’s current work is critical to move this industry forward, as he has been drafting a technical standard, for ground-based automated mobility, specifically looking at Loading and Unloading at the curbside and on sidewalks. It is also fascinating to hear Bern’s perspective on this event.

In the 2nd episode of this new season of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, speaks with Yehuda Elmaliah, Cogniteam’s Co-founder and CEO and Ari Yakir, VP of R&D, as they jump into Cogniteam’s pursuit to make it easy for robotic product builders to focus on their IP and avoid to reinventing the robotic wheel.
In this conversation, we learn more about Yehuda’s and Ari’s approach to democratizing robotics through their cloud platform Nimbus. They see such a wide variety of robotics and applications, it is fascinating to hear their opinion on some of the most exciting markets, which areas of the world are embracing innovation and what is to come for the Robotics industry.

In this new episode of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, speaks with Jad Tawil, CTO, and co-founder of Nexus Robotics, which is a Quebec-based robotics company focused on the agriculture sector developing autonomous robotic solutions. 
They created Nexus to address three major problems: labour, chemicals, and climate change. As their beachhead solution, Jad and his team use machine learning to tackle the jobs no one wants to do anymore, weeding vegetables.
In this conversation, Jad talks about how they started Nexus, why the agriculture industry needs robotics, and what are the big applications in the future he has ambitions to tackle as their solutions continue to mature.
