Reach out to Nate Padgett (nate@workatthestudio.com) if you have questions about Studio 45 and he invites you to the Hardware Holiday Party & Concert they're throwing on 12/22. Should be a fun melding of the different types of events held at the studio!
Demo from Carbon Origins (above) who are raising seed for robot teleoperation with very low latency. Whereas Micropsi (below) for robot training is getting big in Germany and has just opened their first US office here in the Bay Area.
We had a number of other pitches and some project demos, for a perpetual calendar and (below) for a robot kitchen cooktop. We also heard from Any Ware Robotics who are unloading trucks, Orangewood Robotics who are hiring for their affordable robot arm, and Bcom.shop which is a platform for component comparisons.
Demo from Kitchen Robot Cooktop Startup Demo from Orangewood Robotics Beta product pitch from Bcom.shop We are asking researchers to submit a white paper / position statement, no longer than two pages, that addresses the following: What are the current gaps in robotics research and its ecosystem – and what are potential opportunities to fill those gaps? The white paper can focus on gaps across sectors or within one sector. White papers should be submitted by end of day January 9, 2023
Finally some statistics that show the growth of manufacturing that we’ve been seeing in the SF Bay Area! The California Community Colleges are doing a great job promoting manufacturing training and the recent Oakland Unified School District Manufacturing Day Tour took 50 interested students to innovative manufacturing companies like:
Diversity, equity and inclusion are by no means new problems for the tech industry. However, new issues like the economic downturn can lead companies to take measures --- like layoffs — that can worsen an already glaring problem.
I also have some passing thoughts about the need for more focused robotics journalism out there that I’ve been wanting to get down on paper. That’s not to say there aren’t good people out there doing good work. But there’s a lot more that needs to be done to mainstream coverage. Consider this a minor manifesto of sorts.
