How Acumino builds the world's most dexterous robots, with Minas Liarokapis

How much passion and ambition does it take to build the intelligence of the robots of today and tomorrow? On this episode we are joined by Minas Liarokapis, Co-Founder and CTO of Acumino, a world leading Robotics and AI company working on next generation, foundation robot models for the execution of highly dexterous tasks. Acumino is headquartered in the US and has operations in New Zealand and Greece, and its solutions empower robots' capabilities to perform complex tasks to diverse real-world environments and with high reliability, tapping into what Minas calls “a trillion dollar opportunity”. Minas breaks down how Acumino increases the penetration of robotics-based automation in factories today, how it develops its commercialization strategies in robotics, and how it builds hardware agnostic solutions for the robots of today and tomorrow. We also discuss the leap from academia to entrepreneurship, the importance of risk in decision making, and the potential of Europe’s role and value in the future of robotics and AI.
