This is my very first podcast episode in English. Those of you who have been listening to the podcast for a while might be wondering why I’m speaking English today. Well, it’s because of my guest: Megi Mejdrechová. Megi is from the Czech Republic, and since I don’t speak Czech, we agreed to do the interview in English😊

Topics we tackle in this episode:

• Women in Tech


• The Future of Robotics and Automation


• Startup Culture and Diversity in Europe

More about Megi Mejdrechová:

Megi graduated CTU in Prague and has two years of experience as a researcher at CIIRC CTU with a focus on machine learning applied to robotic tasks. Later, she had been working as a software developer at the startup company based in Munich, Germany, where she was developing functions for the brain of autonomous mobile robots.

In 2021, she co-founded the award-winning startup RoboTwin s.r.o. focused on motion imitating robotics. RoboTwin develops smart robot teaching tools that allow workers to directly teach robots - without programming, fast and in a flexible way. It helps to automate even there, where it was impossible before, through the no-code robotics solution. RoboTwin's long term goal is to bring innovation into manufacturing to close the gap between the state-of-the-art technology and industrial reality.
