Don’t Disintegrate Your Robots, Some Observations From My Years In The Trenches Abstract: The difficulties of fielding robot products are often fed by a long history of weak, ineffective and downright counterproductive software architecture and engineering practices. Building a complete robot product is incredibly difficult, but picking the wrong approach to robot software can make that process even more difficult. This talk will share some of the ways that bad assumptions about robot software can make your development path harder and offers a few suggestions on how things might get better. About the speaker: Todd Pack is a longtime roboticist with experiences at iRobot, Jibo, Amazon Robotics, and Neo Cybernetica.
