10. Stephen Delaporte - To Bot or Not
Utility + Function - A podcast by Matthew Putman
Categories:
On today’s episode, Matthew talks to Stephen Delaporte, Founder & CEO of Avar Robotics--whose goal is to create the most high-functioning and efficient robots. During their conversation, the friends share their thoughts on the art of invention. What are the barriers to creating something? What is scientific lineage--an exchange of energy? Delaporte delineates the iteration of the robots his company builds, and what defines a human task versus one that can be easily automated. Sometimes what we don't think of as a human task is incredibly human and emotionally valuable.
