Giving Robots the Ability to Smell (With Kordel France of Theta Diagnostics) - Ep#148
Manage episode 426614736 series 3451071
In today's episode, we explore the profound impact of giving robots a sense of smell with Kordel France, discussing how this breakthrough will transform industries like biotech, emergency response, and healthcare. About the Episode:
For those of you who have been listening for a while in the early phase of the podcast robotics was touched on a lot when the main theme was automation. And I’m sure I’ll be speaking about robots a lot more in the years to come as the humanoid robots start to enter the market, Nividia ceo Jensen Huang just recently mentioned that we can expect to see some significant breakthroughs in the next 2-3 years. Now, I’m not sure he was talking about the technology of today’s episode but what I do know is that I underestimated how interesting and impactful giving robots a sense of smell would be. With my guest we dive into all the ways robotics and really our world is going to change once this technology is added to robots. It will be profound and far reaching across numerous industries like biotech, emergency response, healthcare and many others. I was more than happy to have Kordel France on to enlighten me about the power of this technology and I hope you are as amazed as I was.
About The Guest
Kordel France is the founder and lead engineer of pioneering machine sensing startup Theta Diagnostics. For the better part of the last decade, he has been working with his incredible team to build a new type of nanotechnology sensor and multi-modal AI platform that enables machines’ sense of smell. His driving mission is to give machines the sense of hyper-sensitive smell through machine olfaction and accelerate a new paradigm in robotics and AI. Although his focus has been on the engineering of sensor systems and multi-modal AI, he has deep manufacturing and hardware development experience that enables him as a comprehensive product developer and technical leader. His experience spans computer vision, autopilot development, aircraft design & simulation, natural language processing, swarm intelligence, and optics.
