The 5 W’s of Investing In Robotics (Including Humanoids) - Rick Faulk, Locus Robotics CEO; Dina Routhier, Teradyne Robotics Ventures managing director; and Haomiao Huang, Matter Venture Partners founding partner, moderated by Saad.
The panel discussed the importance of selecting a specific use case (not just a technology), building advisory boards with previous founders and domain experts, meeting KPIs and ROI expectations for customers, RaaS vs CapEx, and why humanoid robots work best with wheels, either as mobile manipulation robots (MMRs) themselves or integrated in a workflow with an AMR.
