It takes a long time to get an idea from the R&D stage to successful commercialization when you are talking about technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics.
The equipment needed for building and testing prototypes is expensive. Even though robotics is weathering the current downturn in venture funding better than other tech sectors, it is still too easy for innovative inventions to stay in the lab.
We are excited to have three experts in the process at the session on July 21: Joyce Sidopoulos, co-founder and VP of programs and community at MassRobotics; and Milo Werner, co-founder and COO of Covariant.
The panel will discuss their experience in moving a robot from the lab to the market.
What our panelists bring to the table, and why we can't wait to hear their take on the topic.
The co-director of the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence (BAIR) Lab is also the director of the Berkeley Robot Learning Lab.
A founding partner at AIX Venture, a venture capital firm focused on artificial intelligence, Abbeel also hosts The Robot Brains, a weekly show that explores what artificial intelligence and robotic technology can do in the future.
In addition to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone, Abbeel's work has appeared in other publications.
MassRobotics' mission is to enable and grow the next generation of robotics companies, and Joyce Sidopoulos is the co- founder and vice president for programs. She connects students and talent to potential employers and works with academia to bring research to fruition.
The founding of MassRobotics was the result of Sidopoulos' work as the innovation and robotic community manager for the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council.
She spent 14 years with the USN's Naval Undersea Warfare Center, where she worked in various roles. She worked for General Dynamics and other contractors.
The Engine is a venture capital firm that helps tech companies bridge the gap between discovery and commercialization. She led investments in energy, transportation, agriculture and industrial applications at the time.
She was the leader of the new product introduction team atTesla, as well as the leader of the engineering team at Zola.
He received a BS in Geology and Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Vermont and anMS in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
