Automate the World - Abe Murray (E50) (Frontier #9)
How to automate the world? You need Robotics 🤖
Abe Murray, General Partner at AlleyCorp Robotics, invests in early-stage companies that are making all our lives easier and propelling humanity forward 🌍
We lift the lid on robotics, covering: Abe's background working on a fishing boat, his time at Google, his approach to life, his purpose & passions, his lesson from Paul Graham, his love for practical building, how we can automate warehouses, the robot hype cycle (and where we are on it), whether robots of the future will be specialised or all-purpose, the real-world uses of robots today including medical devices and agriculture, whether he's bullish on robot butlers, and his conversation with Brett Adcock.
We then delve into: Whether robots should be given human characteristics, humanisation of robots, full stack robotics, the commoditisation of AI models, the AI hype cycle, how anyone can get started in robotics, and advice for founders. 💪
