Challenges of Developing a Safety System for an Autonomous Work Site
Q&A with Nathan Bivans, CTO | Fort Robotics
Tell us about yourself and role at FORT Robotics.
I'm Nathan Bivans, CTO for FORT Robotics. FORT was founded at the end of 2018 from another startup where I was also CTO - Humanistic Robotics Inc (HRI) where I developed and patented a wireless safety protocol designed for dangerous applications in landmine clearance. Earlier in my career I worked on a variety of complex products at Morotola USA’s mobility group and Apple Computer. At HRI, we recognized the critical need for wireless safety while building our own autonomous 5 ton robot for landmine and started FORT to take that experience and focus on safety and security for smart machines.
