TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
We spoke to Kevin Peterson this week. He runs the tech at Bedrock Robotics.
He told us their control room "looks like StarCraft, actually."
You click on an excavator on a screen and give it a job. Then it just digs. Nobody sitting in it.
This went live on real customer sites on Monday.
The same day, a company called Gravis Robotics got $200 million from SoftBank.
We asked Kevin about the timing. Nobody seems to know.
Full chat with Kevin and Alain is out now on Bricks Bucks and Bytes.
