Scaling Robots Beyond the Safety Cage with Andrew Singletary and Amir Sharif

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of ensuring safety as robots operate in shared human environments, featuring insights from 3Laws Robotics leaders.

As robots move out of cages and into shared human environments, safety is no longer just about stopping motion. It is about enabling systems to keep moving productively without increasing risk. 3Laws Robotics is tackling one of the hardest problems in autonomy: how to guarantee safety while machines remain in motion. Andrew Singletary, co-founder and CEO, and Amir Sharif, COO of 3Laws Robotics, join Greg to unpack how a decade of academic research in safety critical control evolved into a com...
