It sure takes a hell of a lot of passion and ambition to build the dexterous robots of the future. On our latest episode of EUROPE BUILDS Mathilda Nathan and I had an awesome chat with Minas Liarokapis, Co-founder and CTO of Acumino, a world leading Robotics and AI company whose solutions empower robots' capabilities to perform complex tasks to diverse real-world environments with high reliability, tapping into what Minas calls “a trillion dollar opportunity”. Minas breaks down how Acumino increases the penetration of robotics-based automation in factories today, how it develops its commercialization strategies in robotics, and how it builds hardware agnostic solutions for the robots of today and tomorrow. We also discuss the leap from academia to entrepreneurship, the importance of risk in decision making, and the potential of Europe’s role and value in the future of robotics and AI. 🤖 💪

Bridging the gap from a working software prototype to a production-grade product is often more challenging—and costly—than it appears, especially when explaining this to non-technical partners. Tesla’s recent “We Robot” event (ICMYI: https://lnkd.in/g5X7fihH) serves as a compelling example. The event showcased impressive prototypes of robotaxis, autonomous robots, and Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Yet, without concrete timelines (setting aside speculative ones), it’s evident that these innovations are still far from mass production. According to AMCI’s latest report(https://lnkd.in/gD8-MMzY), Tesla’s FSD currently requires 75 interventions per 1,000 miles of real-world driving—that’s an intervention every 13 miles. To put this into perspective, consider the “Autoland” system for airliners developed in the mid-1970s for zero-visibility conditions. Certification for this technology demanded a failure probability of less than 1 in 150,000 occurrences. The disparity between an intervention every 13 miles and a failure probability of less than 1 in 150,000 highlights the significant journey from prototype to production-ready status. As a long term Tesla investor and car owner, it's one more added disappointment. If you watched the event, what are your thoughts on the challenges of bringing such advanced technologies to market?
