Safety as a Competitive Advantage in Robotics | Ryan Vann (Cooley)
Ryan Vann of Cooley discusses how robotics companies can use safety practices and standards to reduce customer risk and build a durable brand at the Humanoids Summit.
An Agility host uses Digit to rearrange a room-sized collection of everyday items, showing how the team explores what the robot can move.
The host brings belongings from their apartment to demonstrate Digit moving common household objects. They frame the setup as a way to help the team imagine new possibilities.
The host asks Digit to reorganize the space because the current arrangement is unsatisfactory. They describe their role as encouraging the team to see more possibilities.
The host directs Digit to move a chair and fine-tunes its position by about a foot. They also mention a bag of chips, dog food, and peanut butter as items in the room.
After watching the objects sway during movement, the host says the placement is right. They then reflect that making the home resemble the office might have been simpler.
