Machine Visions is a show about the acceleration of robotics deployed across every sector of our economy. Hosted by Obvious Ventures’ Nan Li, this 5-part series dives into the current breakout moment in industrial robotics, where next-gen robots are taking on new challenges and scaling rapidly in production. We’ll bring you the inside story from leading voices in this industry to understand what’s happening today and what’s to come.
To start off the series, robotics legend Rodney Brooks offers perspective from his four plus decades working in the space. Rodney is a multi-time founder of companies like iRobot and Rethink Robotics, professor emeritus at MIT, and longtime leading voice in all things robotics and AI. We dig into what Rodney sees in the near future of robotics - the challenges to be solved and approaches we need to get there.
