We have partnered with PNW Battery Collaborative based in Seattle to offer a Portland hosted session of the Collaborative's bi-monthly meeting. Don’t miss it—RSVP today! The Pacific Northwest is a leader innovation in batteries, and Oregon is a critical part of this ecosystem. With global momentu...
We are introducing our latest prototype: Rosie the Robot, which we are now using in our lab to collect machine learning datasets. This prototype will help us to develop a proof of concept for our autonomous disassembly system for EV batteries by demonstrating that we can collect human guided trai...
As the co-founder of Rose City Robotics, I am beyond thrilled to share our experience at this year’s Bend Venture Conference (BVC), where we were honored to win the Audience Favorite Award. The 21st annual Bend Venture Conference was held at Tower Theatre on October 17-18, 2024. Fourteen impressi...
We are thrilled to announce that last week Waivolt received approval from NABCEP as an Accredited Training Provider, with our 0 to Solar Hero: Free 18-hour Advanced Solar PV and the NEC Training course listed in the NABCEP Course Catalog. Free 18-hour Advanced Solar PV and the NEC TrainingThis fr...
Researchers at Stanford invented a way to use transformers for robot motion planning with visual feedback called Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT). Action chunking is a concept from psychology that describes how our brain groups sequences of actions together as a chunk and executes the whol...
I'm excited and honored to announce that we won the Early Stage Audience Favorite Award with a $3,000 cash prize and have advanced to the finals with a chance to pitch at this year's Bend Venture Conference (BVC). BVC is the Pacific Northwest's largest angel conference and for over two decades, B...
Rose City Robotics won the Demolicious pitch competition for September! Demolicious is hosted monthly in Portland Oregon, organized by Rick Turoczy and Upstart Collective's Josh Carter. Teams get just 3 minutes to pitch their idea with slides. Since its inception in 2008, Demolicious has served a...
Electric vehicles (EVs) are taking over the automotive industry and as their powerful lithium-ion batteries begin to reach their end of life, the need for efficient recycling solutions for those batteries is becoming more and more critical. In addition to passenger vehicles, EVs are also taking o...
As a robotics integrator, we focus on using machine learning to enhance automation hardware. Our focus on sensor systems for capturing training data and neural networks for imitation learning allows us to enable robots to autonomously perform tasks that are difficult or impossible to automate wit...
In traditional automation and robotics, the tasks performed by machines must be rigidly prescriptive, structured, and well-defined. Movements are mapped to precise locations, operations are ordered in sequences and a script lists the actions, parameters and repeated processes. This works well for...
