Latest on Intel RealSense; Tesla Bot; Stratom supports the troops

By Mike Oitzman | August 20, 2021

Welcome to Episode 51 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.

You can subscribe to The Robot Report Podcast on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, SoundCloud, Spotify and more. Please subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review!

In this week’s episode, Steve and Mike review the news from the week, starting with the breaking story that Intel has decided to wind down its RealSense business – and what that apparently means. RealSense has become a staple for 3D imaging to drive robot picking and AMR navigation. Steve continues to investigate what will become of the RealSense solutions. We also discuss the reveal of the Tesla humanoid robot.

Finally, Steve and Mike have a conversation with Mark Gordon, founder and CEO of Stratom. Stratom is a veteran owned company that designs and builds autonomous solutions for the US military, including kits for bomb-disposal robots, all-terrain logistics AMRs and robotic refueling stations.

If you would like to be a guest on an upcoming episode of the podcast, or if you have recommendations for future guests or segment ideas, contact Steve Crowe or Mike Oitzman. For sponsorship opportunities of The Robot Report Podcast, contact Courtney Nagle for more information.
