Imagine walking into a major hotel or casino and discovering that the building already has a workforce you barely notice.
Robots are cleaning floors, navigating around people, responding to changing conditions and reporting back on what they've accomplished.
Now imagine those robots aren't operating independently - they're being coordinated by an AI system that can manage an entire fleet of machines.
That is the idea behind MBody AI ( https://mbody.ai/ ) - and it raises a much bigger question:
Could AI eventually become the operating system for the physical workforce?
John Fowler is CEO of MBody AI, a company developing what it describes as the intelligence layer for autonomous workforces.
MBody AI is focused on embodied AI - combining artificial intelligence with physical robots to automate repetitive, labor-intensive operations in environments such as hotels, resorts and casinos, with plans to expand into areas including outdoor services, warehouses, offices and healthcare.
Rather than manufacturing its own robots, MBody AI is developing a hardware-agnostic software platform called Orchestrator, designed to coordinate robots from multiple manufacturers, optimize their tasks and routes, verify their performance, and ultimately allow fleets of autonomous machines to operate as a coordinated workforce.
The company has already deployed its technology in major hospitality environments, including MGM and Caesars properties, and most recently completed a pilot at Mohegan Sun that has transitioned into a paid commercial deployment. MBody AI says its platform has now been used in cleaning operations covering roughly 600 million square feet.
And this is a particularly interesting time to have John with us because MBody AI recently completed its business combination with Check-Cap and is now a Nasdaq-listed company trading under the ticker MBAI.
John previously served as CEO of Blaise Ventures and, before that, as President and CEO of The Supreme Cannabis Company, where he helped build the 7ACRES cannabis business, raise more than $200 million through the public markets, and ultimately oversee its $435 million acquisition by Canopy Growth.
John began his career as a lawyer and holds a JD, summa cum laude, from the University of Ottawa.
