Show Notes

In Episode 4 of The Robotics Engineering Experience, Business Development Manager Travis Schneider talks to Director of Software Engineering Andrew Davison about the #software that brings our robots to life!

Andrew shares what inspires him, what he enjoys the most about software engineering, the programming languages he favors, and the most challenging--and rewarding--aspects of writing software for #robotics. Travis and Andrew also discuss the ways that #autonomy and #artificialintelligence are driving the development of RE2's next generation of robotic systems. In particular, Andrew discusses how RE2 is applying #computervision and #machinelearning to its #autonomy and #AI modules, RE2 Detect and RE2 Intellect, to enhance the capabilities of its mobile, human-like robots.
