After spending time with penguins and mantas rays during my 6months of travel and break from reality. I’ve decided to get back to my first passion, robotics. Today I can finally announce I’ve joined @agilityrobotics as CTO and am excited for what’s next! tinyurl.com/r6bekusb

See everyone in Boston next week for the AMR & Logistics conference. After I’ll be headed out to ROSCon and then on a much needed multi-month vacation, ping me if you want to grab a beer. 🤓#AMRL2022 #ROSCon2022

What did I just watch? … Really? Another big company building a useless robot with no customer or meaningful use case and wasting the limited robotics talent out there 😶

Tonight a real piece of history was found… @mifulapirus still had in his possession an original FYS Systems business card :) I guess we did it! 😉

In April 2002, I had the rare pleasure to participate in NASA’s micro-gravity program and fly on the KC-135 with @AstroMD_Yvonne, today, almost exactly 20 years later, I got to see her again at MARS. She is a true legend and has inspired me so much!

We published more details on our learned stereo system we use on our robots. We have found it to be more useful than existing active/passive depth sensors especially on shiny surfaces which are common in the home environment.

This #CES2022 seems to be the year of the restaurant delivery robot, feels like everywhere I look there is a delivery robot with yet another cute face or other digital face looking thing.
