In this episode of Robots in Depth, Per Sjöborg speaks with Søren Peter Johansen from DTI about implementing robotic solutions.

Søren talks about how he got into robotics by starting to tinker with any electronic he could get his hands on. He worked in a mechanical workshop and added automation to the machines in the shop. As robots became more and more available, he then included them in his work.

Søren also discusses examples of successful human robot collaboration and how software and hardware both are essential elements of robot development.

We also get to hear about how he went to the Danish Technological Institute because he saw an opportunity to work with lots of interesting robots.

This interview was recorded in 2016.




Robots in Depth is a new video series featuring interviews with researchers, entrepreneurs, VC investors, and policy makers in robotics, hosted by Per Sjöborg.
