Robots in Depth with Nicola Tomatis
In this episode of Robots in Depth, Per Sjöborg speaks with Nicola Tomatis about his long road into robotics and how BlueBotics handles indoor navigation and integrates it in automated guided vehicles (AGV).
Like many, Nicola started out tinkering when he was young, and then got interested in computer science as he wanted to understand it better.
Nicola gives us an overview of indoor navigation and its challenges. He shares a number of interesting projects, including professional cleaning and intralogistics in hospitals. We also find out what someone who wants to use indoor navigation and AGVs should think about.
This interview was recorded in 2016.
