Robert MacKenzie – Scaling Robots with Purpose 

Language: English

How do you scale from a robotic prototype to 200+ autonomous machines working across the globe? In this episode, we talk to Robert MacKenzie, former CPO & CTO of ANYbotics, about what it takes to turn complex AI-powered technology into real-world impact — from industrial stair-climbing robots to fully autonomous inspection systems. Together with co-host Dalith Steiger-Gablinger, we explore AI, mobility, scaling deep tech companies, and what it means to lead at the intersection of people, product, and purpose.

Topics include:
✅ Robotics & AI in the field
✅ ANYmal’s industrial journey
✅ Product leadership in scale-ups
✅ Purpose-driven innovation
✅ The future of autonomous systems
