Episode Description
In this episode, we dive into the evolution of AI robotics, exploring how lessons from cucumber-picking robots are now revolutionizing industrial inspection. We sit down with Wouter from VBTI to unpack the journey from complex greenhouse challenges to the development of Adam One—an inspection robot that doesn’t just automate, but truly understands the task at hand.
We reflect on the unique technical hurdles, the fusion of multiple AI models, and the potential for scalable, domain-specific foundation models. As always, we bring our authentic curiosity and skepticism to the latest industry trends, from federated learning revivals to the shifting boundaries of edge and cloud AI. Join us for a conversation that connects practical innovation with the big questions shaping industrial AI.
