Let's talk robotics with Dr Clyde Webster, CEO and Founder of Crest Robotics

Joining me today for eps 136 is Dr Clyde Webster. Clyde is the Founder and CEO of Crest Robotics who are on a mission to end workplace injury through the development of smart and dynamic robots that can perform the repetitive, strenuous, and dangerous components of laborious jobs. Clyde has a Bachelor of Engineering, and a PhD in Robotics from the University of Technology Sydney, where he developed the world’s first parrot-inspired climbing robot for maintaining high-voltage power transmission towers which is currently, due to cost and risk, a major roadblock in the transition to renewable energy. Clyde has previous experience in the space sector working as a technical lead with the Space Machines Company, and as a visiting research at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Clyde believes that robots are the tools of the future, and if pursued in the right way can create a more equitable, comfortable, and sustainable future for all.
