on this segment…
Joyce Sidopoulos Sidopoulous, Co-Founder & Chief of Operations at MassRobotics shares..
MassRobotics is building the world’s largest innovation center for robotics. It's THE hub that people from all over the world come to because it’s where innovation in robotics happens
Joyce loves the community! It’s filled with innovators, mentors who want to give back, and successful robotics companies & CEOs who return to collaborate.
👀 What should we be watching? 👀
Joyce is seeing startups in the warehouse & logistics space. There's also been a surge in healthtech, agriculture, and construction.
Brian Hart, Co-Founder & CEO at Black-I Robotics, Inc. shares..
His team is building a robot worker that can move around a warehouse, pick up heavy boxes, and create a mixed case palette in real time. Their robot can put together a full mixed palette of 100 items and get it to a loading dock in ~18 minutes.
Brian has built robotics companies in the Boston area for almost 20 years and leverages its ecosystem. At MassRobotics he’s been able to share information with companies using similar technology (but non-competitive) like vision systems, custom grippers, etc.
👀 What startups should we be watching? 👀
On the consumer side, look at Nutra Spin. It’s a smoothie in a can without the mess
In robotics, check out Luminous Robotics, which is picking up solar voltaic rays and building solar farms with robots.
Xinyu Wang, Co-Founder & CTO at Mito Robotics shares..
They're building an AI-powered intelligent robot for lab automation, focusing on cell culture. Cell culture is a manual task that's repetitive and takes up a lot of scientists times, freeing them up to focus on discovery work.
Boston is the heart of both robotics and biotech, which the Mito Robotics team loves!
What startups should we be watching?
ReviMo is building an autonomous wheelchair. Elderly care and human support is a great use case for robotics and Aleksandr's work is worth people’s attention!
Colleen Cronin Anderson at MassRobotics shares..
Colleen is responsible for building the community together and putting on events to make more connections.
Their biggest event is coming up September 27th…The Robot Block Party in the Seaport. There will be tons of robots, interactive exhibits, and a robot parade! Be there!!
👀 What startups should we be watching? 👀
1.) Luminous Robotics recently was awarded a huge contract with the Australian government.
2.) Cleo Robotics just announced their new DD1 drone.
Two exciting announcements (and startups) to share!
The summer tour continues with MGMT Boston. Thanks to Rho and Will Panarello for supporting this series!
