Robots for the People: Lowering the Barrier to Automation

  • Summary

  • Robots seem like they belong in a Sci-Fi movie — not in a restaurant or business. But why?

    For one, TV and film depict them that way. But robots have other blockers to viability.

    They are notoriously expensive, difficult to program, and they can present a number of safety risks. For the last 50 years, these characteristics have restricted robots’ usability to large enterprises that have the space, money, and resources to implement them.

    • What if we flipped that paradigm?
    • What if robots became simpler and smaller?
    • What if anyone could train them?

    Today, those aren’t “what ifs” anymore. Unlimited use cases for robots are becoming a reality. In this episode, Paul Estes sits down with Mitch Tolson, Founder and CEO of Ally Robotics to talk about this exciting new era and where his passion for and expertise in robotics comes from.
