My biggest takeaway from #icra2025 was just how many students want to found a robotics company. But building a company is much more than building a robot. Instead of focusing on the HOW of robots, I encouraged people to think about the WHY. What problem do you solve, and for who? IEEE ICRA (@ieee_ras_icra) ✨Join us at #ICRA2025 to hear from plenary speaker, Tessa Lau (@tessalau), CEO & Co-Founder, Dusty Robotics! She will present the talk, "So you want to build a robot company?" 📆 Wednesday, May 21 | 1:45-2:45 PM 🔗 Read the full abstract here: loom.ly/N-F285Q — https://nitter.net/ieee_ras_icra/status/1923370693300830630#m

Purpose-Built Robots Over Humanoids for Sustainable Robotics Business
By
–
I'm 100% in favor of purpose-built robots. While AI could enable humanoids that do lots of things imperfectly, specialized form factors are the only path to a sustainable robotics business. Thanks to everyone who turned out to see Dusty at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit.

Model Error Discovery Leads to Perfect Warehouse Build Success
By
–
Once everyone calmed down, it was clear that the model was at fault, not the robot. The project team wouldn’t have discovered this bust for weeks using manual layout. Andrew had us re-mobilize on the next warehouse build. The second trial, and the third, went perfectly.

Unexpected opportunity leads to warehouse automation pilot contract
By
–
I almost didn't take the call. Robotic warehouse automation was not in our ICP. Luckily my team overrode me and took the meeting. The automation company was intrigued, and we agreed to an annual contract with a pilot period to try a FieldPrinter on their next build-out.
