The Importance of Academic Research in Mobile Robotics

Raffy Raffy: I met Mick because she was talking to friends about his experiences of Webvan, which went bankrupt. He had this idea that if we had mobile robots to have full orders, then maybe the company wouldn't have gone bankrupt. So he started scouring the web for anything related to mobile robots and that's when he found our RoboCop videos. We met over coffee at MIT, we were supposed to meet for 30 minutes. We met for three hours. And then I put my sub-autica on it.
