Revolutionizing Warehouse Automation with Jon Miller Schwartz of Ultra

New episode alert! This one with Jon Miller Schwartz, co-founder & CEO of Ultra (YC S24), a company that builds and deploys practical, general-purpose robots for American warehouses.

The discussion delves into the history of robotics, where we are today, how advancements in AI are changing the game and making use cases possible, and how Ultra is stepping in to transform industrial automation with adaptable robots.

For someone like me who knows robotics is at an exciting inflection point and that whole new worlds of possibilities are opening up, but hasn't dug into the specifics, this was a terrific and exciting crash course!

Good one for anyone who wants to know what is happening with AI, robotics, automation, and what these could mean for warehouse work and the future of labor.

Check it out! You can find it on Spotify, Apple, Youtube, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Also, thank you to Derek Haswell for putting me in touch with Jon.
