Episode 30 of the Coworking Chronicles has us traveling back to MassRobotics (Pt 2) to meet some more robotics builders..
🤖 MassRobotics is the largest independent robotics hub dedicated to accelerating innovation and adoption in the field of robotics 🤖
We caught up with Michael Healy from LabyrinthAI and Robbie McCue from ModalAI on this segment…
🔧 Michael Healy, Co-Founder & CEO at LabyrinthAI shares..
Labyrinth AI helps engineers train and build AI models for robotics.
While breakdancing robots grab headlines, the real bottleneck isn’t the hardware. It’s gathering data and training robotic models.
Mike loves the MassRobotics environment because it reminds him of his time at Google X, with that moonshot energy grounded in real-world applications for manufacturing and e-commerce.
Today they’re working closely with Chewy, a MassRobotics sponsor with a strong R&D culture to scale their robotics infrastructure.
🔧 Robbie McCue, Product Solutions Engineer at ModalAI, shares..
Modal AI builds smaller, safer Blue UAS and NDAA compliant drones and drone components right here in the USA.
Their Stinger FPV drones (the VOXL2 Mini shown here) and the enhanced VOXL 2 have an all-in-one flight controller and Linux compute board that handles everything a drone needs in a simple package.
Though based in San Diego, Modal AI chose MassRobotics for their Boston hub because there’s no better space for a company trying to find a second homebase.
They’re collaborating with fellow resident Revolute Robotics, who use Modal AI components. Shout out Collin Taylor!
The winter tour continues with MGMT Boston. Thanks to Rho and Will Panarello for supporting this series!
