In the 1st episode of this new season of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, with Bern Grush, Executive Director of the Urban Robotics Foundation and Chief Innovation Officer at Harmonize Mobility, unpack Toronto City Council December 17th decision to ban robots on their streets and sidewalks.
In this conversation, we learn how Bern’s current work is critical to move this industry forward, as he has been drafting a technical standard, for ground-based automated mobility, specifically looking at Loading and Unloading at the curbside and on sidewalks.
