Do Robots Have a Place on Our Sidewalks?
12/21/21 • 65 min
In the 1st episode of this new season of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, with Bern Grush, Executive Director of the Urban Robotics Foundation and Chief Innovation Officer at Harmonize Mobility, unpack Toronto City Council December 17th decision to ban robots on their streets and sidewalks.
In this conversation, we learn how Bern’s current work is critical to move this industry forward, as he has been drafting a technical standard, for ground-based automated mobility, specifically looking at Loading and Unloading at the curbside and on sidewalks. It is also fascinating to hear Bern’s perspective on this event.

Refocused Learning Leads to Innovative Robotics
In this 8th episode of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, talks with Audrey Boucher-Genesse, Coordonnatrice académique du baccalauréat en génie robotique at the Université de Sherbrooke. They take a dive into the Université de Sherbrooke's innovative Robotics Engineering bachelor’s program which focuses on project-based learning.
In this conversation, we are joined by David Mailhot, our Director Robotic Finishing Development and together with Audrey we have the behind the scenes look into their unique approach to teaching robotics and raising the next generation of roboticists. The result is a group of students with a portfolio of innovative projects and unique skills! Audrey walks us through a few very impressive examples as we hear what it is like to study robotics in 2021.

Building Blocks for Democratizing Robotics
In the 2nd episode of this new season of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, speaks with Yehuda Elmaliah, Cogniteam’s Co-founder and CEO and Ari Yakir, VP of R&D, as they jump into Cogniteam’s pursuit to make it easy for robotic product builders to focus on their IP and avoid to reinventing the robotic wheel.
In this conversation, we learn more about Yehuda’s and Ari’s approach to democratizing robotics through their cloud platform Nimbus. They see such a wide variety of robotics and applications, it is fascinating to hear their opinion on some of the most exciting markets, which areas of the world are embracing innovation and what is to come for the Robotics industry.
