Finally, Robots that Know Where They’re Going, With George Konidaris–EP 193

Seems like right now every podcast is doing an interview centered around Artificial Intelligence.  But I waited until I found the right story, one that was truly relevant to our audience in the machining world. George Konidaris is the cofounder of the startup, Realtime Robotics. He’s also a Professor of Computer Science and the director of the Intelligent Robot Lab at Brown University. Right now, programming a robot arm to perform a repetitive task typically requires a robot integrator to program where every joint of a robot should go. It’s a ridiculous and tedious process. But with Realtime Robotics’ AI technology, you can instruct a robot to do a task and you don’t have to tell it a zillion steps explaining HOW to do the task. Question: How have you used robots in your machine shop? Or, how would you like to use one?The post Finally, Robots that Know Where They’re Going, With George Konidaris–EP 193 first appeared on Today’s Machining World.
