In this talk

  1. 0:04

    A global ambition and hard-won experience

    The speaker describes a goal of making Humanoid a leading company in human robotics worldwide. They say they have put 17 robots into the market and expect first integrations to encounter problems.

  2. 0:27

    Delays and lab failures

    Late arms created concern, and a computer failure left the robot without power. The team had converted an office building into a robotics lab, where hanging cables contributed to a circuit breaker trip.

  3. 0:47

    Schedule pressure and team persistence

    The aggressive schedule sometimes seemed impossible to meet. Missing a target triggered cascading delays, while the speaker described the workload as the hardest of their career and praised the team for continuing.

  4. 1:10

    A shared vision and final delivery

    Team members say the robotics vision resonated with them, and that the project attracted compelling people. They report meeting every minimum deliverable, pursuing more ambitious goals, and producing a robot that exceeded expectations across many dimensions.
