It’s a long road taking an idea from the R&D stage in a lab to successful commercialization, especially when you’re talking about technologies as complex and costly as robotics and artificial intelligence.
Robotics startups require expensive equipment — like industrial-grade sensors, 3D printers and controlled environments — for building and testing prototypes. And even though robotics is weathering the current slowdown in venture funding better than other tech sectors, it’s still too easy for innovative inventions to remain stuck in the lab.
That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome three experts in the process to TC Sessions: Robotics on July 21: Pieter Abbeel, co-founder and chief scientist at Covariant; Joyce Sidopoulos, co-founder and VP of programs and community at MassRobotics; and Milo Werner, general partner at The Engine.
In a session entitled “From Cage to Stage: Commercializing AI and Robotics,” the panel will share their considerable experience in what it takes to move a robot or AI process from the lab to market.
Here’s wha …
