Robots and Intelligent Machines for Construction and Food Production

As the construction and food industries continue to grow, so does the need for autonomous systems to fill the gaps in the workforce. Robotics and intelligent machines are becoming more commonplace as companies look to connect workers and increase efficiency. Many companies are turning to technology to fill the gap with a shortage of qualified workers. Autonomous systems can help with tasks such as construction and food production.

For this meetup, we will be hosting Adam Sadilek, co-founder at AIM Intelligent Machines, and Clayton Wood, CEO at Picnic. AIM is a startup building autonomous construction robots, while Picnic is a category creator in automated pizza preparation.

About Adam
Adam Sadilek co-founded AIM to scale our civilization's ability to build, mine, and terraform. We do this by fully automating earth-moving machinery. During his 9-year tenure at Google, Adam led engineering on self-driving cars (now Waymo) and on planetary-scale AI systems used by four billion users daily. The resulting technologies save people approximately 539 life-years (over 7 lifespans) daily. Adam holds a PhD in machine learning, and his research has been published in Nature and Science.

About AIM
AIM is a Seattle-based startup focused on scaling our civilization's capabilities to build planetary-scale infrastructure and reverse the negative effects of climate change.
About Clayton
Clayton Wood is CEO at Seattle-based Picnic (formerly Vivid Robotics). Wood has served in key leadership positions in organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 100 organizations across various technology industries, including renewable energy, robotics, and software. Wood has successfully taken companies from scratch to global publicly traded businesses or successful acquisitions. Before Picnic, he served C-suite positions as COO at IUNU, an award-winning, venture-backed precision agriculture startup; CEO and President of Synapse Product Development; COO at Naverus; and COO/President at Xzeres Corp., a publicly-traded global leader in small scale wind energy. Wood spent 12 years at AlliedSignal and Honeywell where his roles included stewarding the airborne radio and flight data recorder business units.
Wood holds an MBA from the University of Washington and Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M.
