Advances in robotics have lagged strides in software for many years. So far, only a few companies seem to have cracked the code to get robots working in the world, at scale. Raffaello D’Andrea is behind several success stories in that vein. His Kiva Systems was acquired by Amazon to move inventory around warehouses, and his newest firm, Verity, uses AI drones to improve warehouse efficiency and safety. An artist, technologist, and entrepreneur, D’Andrea has also built robots that play soccer and drones that perform alongside some of the biggest musicians in the world. He joins Pioneers of AI to talk about why it’s so hard to build good robots and how AI has opened up so many new possibilities.
