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.

Rolls-Royce’s Quest to Build Trust in Artificial Intelligence
In this 7th episode of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, with Lee Glazier, Head of Service Integrity at Rolls-Royce, take a dive into how they are using Artificial Intelligence while applying their Aletheia Framework to answer the vital question: is the AI is in fact safe, ethical and trustworthy.
In this episode Lee paints an excellent picture of the potential impact of not understanding and examining AI as it is scaled into their business. The result is they have built a framework that helps them turn AI inside out and puts them in a leadership role in defining the level of ethical standards that will keep us all safe as we all get back to travelling.

Do Robots Have a Place on Our Sidewalks?
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.
