In Episode 10 of Automate It, Stefan and Ilia invent a robotic arm that sorts office mail. Then, this week's hot topic is whether teach-and-repeat systems have a leg up (or a leg ... down?) on fully autonomous navigation.

In episode 9 of Automate It, Stefan & Ilia break down why "minimum viable product" in robotics is totally different than in SaaS. Plus, their start-of-episode game gets weird when they invent autonomous vehicles ... for space.

In Ep 8 of Automate It, Stefan and Ilia invent a hypothetical tunnel for conference transportation (any resemblance to current companies, living or dead, is purely coincidental). Then, they unpack their experience at CES and what it suggests about the state of the autonomy industry.

On Episode 7 of Automate It, Stefan and Ilia generate robot ideas for humanoid robots in stadiums. Then ,they discuss the Intrinsic's acquisition of Open Source Robotics Corporation, and what it might mean for the robotics industry as a whole.

On episode 5 of Automate It, Stefan and Ilia use their favorite game as an excuse to dig into the problem of indoor localization. Then, they debate hot takes about whether autonomy as an industry is truly "dead" (and come up with a few hot takes themselves).

On episode 4 of Automate It, Stefan and Ilia invent a robot that helps ... uh ... lift you over obstacles. Then, they discuss a hypothetical "autonomous oil field" to explain common problems that can kill autonomy projects before they even get off the ground.
