Welcome to The Robot Industry Podcast for episode #59. For this edition, I welcome Victor Darolfi from Robotire. Victor and his team are attempting to change the retail automotive service department by adding, you guessed it: robots and automation.

The first area and low hanging fruit of the retail car store service department is changing automotive car tires. It is a perfect example of dull, dirty and monotonous work - a great target for robots and automation.

Here are some of my questions:

How did you get started?How important was Y combinator?Value propositionHow does the system work?What is the vision and what is the ROI for a system?Who are Robotire's Bulls Eye Customers?What are your big challengesWhat is next for Robotire?How can people get a hold of you?

Enjoy the podcast!

Regards,

Jim
