Thanks for sitting down with us @trossenrobotics to share your insights on innovation in robotics hardware and the real bottlenecks holding robot learning back. Watch the full conversation here:
Machine learning is accelerating in robotics, but hardware is still the bottleneck most teams don't talk about. In our new series, Robot Learning in Industry, we sit down with the team at @trossenrobotics, the hardware innovators behind the manipulators used in Stanford's viral

Thanks once again to @NimaGard for joining us for our inaugural episode of Robot Learning In Industry for @Neuracore_AI. Make sure to head over to our YouTube channel to watch the full video with @PathRobotics:
Machine learning is stepping out of the lab and into the real world, and welding might be the ultimate proving ground. In our new series, Robot Learning in Industry, we sit down with @NimaGard, Director of AI at @PathRobotics, the company building autonomous welding systems and

Robotics is hitting a data wall, and @Neuracore_AI is breaking it. Weโre backing their $3M pre-seed to turn months of infra work into days and help teams move from prototype to deployment. Big congrats to @stepjamUK & team. Onwards!
