Join us as we talk with Paragonix Tek LLC CEO, Stephen Antolich about how he got started making hazardous environment robots, and what it means to take pride in one's work.   

In this episode, Stephen and Spencer joke about the best way to prevent massive explosions when you're inspecting multi-hundred ton tanks of explosive material. Misuse of equipment and poorly designed or inspected gear can result in devastation. It is Stephen's mission is to help prevent these accidents while providing value in the inspection robot space. We also chat about regulations, some of their purposes, and how they vary in different parts of the world.  Stephen truly cares about simplifying robotics enough to be cost-effective and user friendly, but also about the balance of being complex enough to make their missions more flexible to complete multiple tasks while maintaining safety. It is a privilege to have him on the pod.
