Very excited to finally have this book in my hands 🙌

Thank you, Oliver Mitchell — I can’t wait to dive in.

What makes it even better? It features interviews with some of my favorite entrepreneurs and builders in robotics, including:
 Helen Greiner, Erik Nieves, Ryan Gariepy, Andrea L. Thomaz, Charlie Andersen, Daniel Theobald Nic Radford, Claus Risager, among others.

If you’re looking to truly understand what it takes to build a startup in Robotics and AI—from vision to execution—this is a must-read.

A video circulating online shows a robot stepping in as a shelving unit began tipping toward a young girl. The #robot moved into position, helping block the fall just long enough for adults to pull the child away—prompting many to claim the robot rescued her.

According to the company, the robot wasn’t programmed for rescue behavior. Why it reacted at that moment is still unclear.

So what do you think?
#Autonomous sensor-driven reaction? #Teleop? Or a safety behavior triggered more often than we realize?

Sometimes the most interesting moments in robotics happen outside the lab.

Robots for Rent Aren’t a Trend — They’re Infrastructure
The surge in robot rentals has sparked the launch of BOTSHARE, China’s first open robot leasing platform. That’s a strong signal for the robotics industry.

What began as entertainment and gala demos is now expanding into retail, security, industrial pilots, warehouses, and hospitality—robots are entering real workflows faster than expected.

Why it matters 👇
Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) platforms are connecting:
- Manufacturers
- Rental operators
- Creators & integrators

Without this ecosystem layer, adoption stays fragmented.

China is showing what happens when access beats ownership.

How fast can other markets catch up?

Alt-Bionics, Inc. is transforming prosthetics—and shaping the future of humanoid robotics—with truly cutting-edge work.

We had the privilege of a behind-the-scenes tour guided by Ryan Saavedra, showing Sofia how the hands are designed and built—and the real-world impact robotics can have. She was thrilled to see the hand featured in one of her favorite shows, Wednesday.

Thank you, Ryan Saavedra, for welcoming us and for the inspiring experience. This visit reaffirmed something I deeply believe: to inspire the next generation, they need to meet champions—and get hands-on.

You’ve built the future. But the future doesn’t sell itself — not without a system. Behind every successful robotics company is a marketing engine that turns innovation into obsession.

If your robot can't sell, it's just a toy.

As a Latina in #robotics, this episode is personal.

For too long, advanced robotics has felt “out of reach” for #LATAM

This conversation proves the opposite.
From the first advanced humanoid robot implemented in Colombia to real-world adoption by universities and SMEs, this episode shows how LATAM companies are not just adopting robotics—they’re shaping its future.
Robotics isn’t about replacing people.

It’s about empowering talent, increasing opportunity, and building solutions that work for our region.

This is why telling these stories matters.

This is why LATAM belongs in the global robotics conversation.

I see so many incredible #robotics and #AI products held back by one thing:
 a website that doesn’t tell the story properly.

Your website is often the first investor pitch and the first sales conversation—even before you’re in the room.
At Robo Success, we help high-tech teams design websites that communicate value, not just features.

If this resonates, feel free to reach out.

⚠️ You have 10 seconds.
That's all the time your robotics website has to build trust — or lose it forever.

Robotics products live or die based on perceived credibility. And in B2B, if your site doesn't look the part, no one's staying to explore what you actually do. So what makes visitors instantly trust your robotics brand? We broke it down.

💡 In our latest article, we reveal the critical web design elements that activate trust, attention, and authority — within seconds.

👉 Read now: https://lnkd.in/eSAdpFS9

If your robotics site isn't converting, this is your wake-up call.

When a robotics company connects to identity, it becomes more than tech; it becomes a symbol.

Building brands people believe in, not just products they admire.
