I envision Human Robotic Interfacing (HRI) as the next leap in technology, bridging humans and machines in collaboration that enhances productivity like never before.Industrial robots have been around for 60-70 years, and much has stayed the same. Now, we’re transforming them with AI and machine learning, integrating advanced reasoning and learning physical capabilities into their core functionality.The biggest costs in manufacturing—labor and machine downtime. Reducing both these costs for businesses is at the core of what we do at Workr Labs. We empower industrial robots to be easily trained for new tasks throughout their operational life - reducing downtime to just 1/100th of the usual.I lead a talented team of engineers, scientists, and developers who produce the world's most advanced, embodied intelligence platform for industrial robotics. This technology equips machines to navigate and understand the complexities of their tasks and environments.About MeGrowing up on a farm, I learned practical problem-solving early on. From repairing machinery to coordinating labor. This hands-on experience sparked my passion for technology, and I have enjoyed building my career.With 20+ years of global leadership in PM, R&D, and manufacturing across various sectors, I am committed to leveraging technology for innovation, particularly in robotics and AI.As a Techstars alumni (ollo '2014 & Ella '2017), I learned how hard work and having a world-class team can lead to exponential results if focused on a solid vision.🤖 My DM is open. Reach out if:- You have a podcast, let's chat about the future of robotics, manufacturing and Human-Robotic Interfacing.- You're a VC, we’ve closed a round, but we're planning another round.- You're in the manufacturing industry or machine builder, let's collaborate to drive innovation.
