#113 Matt Whelan & Brad Rothenberg on 3D printing's role in the future of design

On the latest Innovators on Innovators episode of the Additive Insight podcast, Matt Whelan, Ocado Technology Head of Engineering for the 600 Series Bot, is joined by nTopology CEO Brad Rothenberg.  The pair have worked together through Ocado Technology's deployment of the nTopology platform as it has developed its fleet of swarm robotics within its warehouses. Ocado Technology operates within the same group as the Ocado online supermarket that delivers groceries to the doors of its customers.  Inside its warehouses, AI-powered swarm robotics - developed with an additive-first approach - are responsible for picking groceries that have been purchased by Ocado's end-users.  Throughout the episode, Whelan and Rothenberg discuss how this infrastructure was developed, the importance of collaboration and the scope for AM applications within robotics movie forward.
