The Robot Report Podcast

Without the ability to gather for in-person events and meetings, our team launched the weekly The Robot Report Podcast to keep the robotics community talking. Over the span of six months and 28 episodes, we’ve spent nearly 35 hours talking to leading roboticists, innovative robotics companies, and other key members of the robotics community.

We analyzed Hyundai’s acquisition of Boston Dynamics, went inside the fallout between Bossa Nova Robotics and Walmart, introduced you to two former Navy SEALS developing autonomous submarines, talked to several robotics startups as they exited stealth mode and much more.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in during 2020. We can’t wait to keep the conversations going in 2021 and beyond. As always, if you have suggestions for guests, topics or segments, please let me know. And if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities of the podcast, contact Courtney Nagle for more information.

Here are the 10 most popular episodes of The Robot Report Podcast of 2020. You can also listen to a playlist that has all the episodes from Season 1 of the podcast here. And while I know you have already done so, here is a friendly reminder that you can subscribe to The Robot Report Podcast on all the major podcast platforms, including Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, SoundCloud, and Spotify.
