In this episode of the “ReAutomated” podcast, Chris Savoia sits down with Brian Gerkey, CTO of Intrinsic and former CEO of Open Robotics, to explore the future of robotics and automation. They delve into Brian's transition from Open Robotics to Intrinsic, highlighting the revolutionary impact of the Robot Operating System (ROS) in democratising robotics.
Brian explains how Intrinsic is leveraging the open-source ROS ecosystem, combining it with cloud-based infrastructure and easy-to-use tools to make automation more accessible to domain experts. The conversation delves into the convergence of ROS and Intrinsic's platform, highlighting the role of AI in improving robotics and bridging the gap between simulation and real-world deployment for a smoother transition from testing to practical applications.
Brian also emphasises the need for hands-on learning opportunities to address education gaps and prepare the next generation of robotics talent, and shares insights into the future of robotics and its exciting potential for innovation.
