Anders Beck introduces the UR20; California bans autonomous tractors

By Steve Crowe | June 24, 2022

The Robot Report Podcast · Anders Beck introduces the UR20; California bans autonomous tractors

Welcome to Episode 83 of The Robot Report Podcast, which brings conversations with robotics innovators straight to you. Join us each week for discussions with leading roboticists, innovative robotics companies, and other key members of the robotics community.

This week, cohosts Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman discuss the recent ban of autonomous tractors in California and what this means for the AGTECH industry to be able to test new autonomous agricultural solutions in California.

Featured interview this week is with Anders Beck, VP of Innovation and Strategy at Universal Robots. Anders introduces us to the new UR20 robot that was launched at Automatica 2022 this week.

    Regularly listen to the pod. Great job. Would be great to get someone on talking about imaging radar(4D) Radar and it’s likely position in the adas sensor stack.
