Best of The Robot Report Podcast 2021

By Steve Crowe | December 15, 2021

The Robot Report Podcast

We spent nearly 40 hours talking to leading roboticists, innovative robotics companies, and other key members of the robotics community on The Robot Report Podcast in 2021.

We analyzed the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards, the potential downfall of pending regulations in Europe, and how robots are being used to decommission chemical missiles in Kentucky. We got a sneak peek at Boston Dynamics’ Stretch robot, discussed our favorite robotics startups and learned about ease of use, confused robotaxis, major acquisitions, and much more.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in during 2021. We can’t wait to keep the conversations going in 2022 and beyond. As always, if you have suggestions for guests, topics or segments, please let me know. And if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities of the podcast, contact Courtney Nagle for more information.

And while I know you have already done so, here is a friendly reminder to subscribe to The Robot Report Podcast on all the major podcast platforms, including Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, SoundCloud, and Spotify.

And we want our listeners to get involved in the show! Leave us a voicemail with a suggestion for the show, feedback or commentary about previous episodes, or your thoughts on a pressing issue in the robotics industry. You can also ask a question that you’d like us to answer on an upcoming show. Anything robotics-related is fair game.

Here are our picks, in chronological order of release date, for the best episodes of The Robot Report Podcast in 2021. You can also listen to a playlist that has all the episodes from Season 2 of the podcast here.
