From my talk today at the Boston Robotics Summit - we've built a platform that enables you to leverage every generation of robotic AI in a highly integrated and flexible way:
Excited to be speaking at the Boston Robotics Summit this week about AI. Also, come checkout our live demos at our booth! therobotreport.com/picknik-demoin…
Congrats to Chef for raising their Series A round!
I'm excited to announce we at @ChefRobotics have closed $43.1M in financing to scale deployments of our AI-enabled robots!
We've launched a new product, based on market demand, to address the needs of companies with safety critical applications: PickNik Certifiable Robot Arm Control Modules 🦺🦾 picknik.ai/certifiable-co…
I hear all the time that not many folks are using ROS 2, but I think its just bad awareness and marketing from the ROS 2 org. We work with and talk to 100s of companies who use ROS 2, so we've made this page to highlight just how extensively supported it is with robot hardware!
@PickNikRobotics is proud to announce the launch of the ROS 2 Hardware Drivers partners page, a new online resource showcasing robot hardware, particularly robotic arms, that are compatible with the ROS 2 middleware: picknik.ai/hardware-ecosy… picknik.ai/2025/01/06/ROS…
It's been another great year working with the talented robotics team at @PickNikRobotics !
This was a fun podcast, thanks @audrow for having me!

If you missed it, our Founder & Chief Product Officer @waffle presented at RoboBusiness the top reasons why robotic companies fail. Read all about it here: picknik.ai/2024/12/10/The…
@elitnartey @audrow @PickNikRobotics Thanks Eli!
I'm on a podcast, wheee!
Here's my conversation with Dave Coleman (@waffle), Founder and CPO of PickNik Robotics (@PickNikRobotics). Dave shares how they're making robot arms work in challenging environments - from strawberry fields to space stations. PickNik has helped over 110 companies deploy robotic
We successfully finished our ground demonstration of satellite servicing, inspired by NASA's OSAM-1 mission, as the culmination of one of our programs with Space Force. Check out the video! youtube.com/watch?v=9lbTtA…
To learn more about how PickNik is trying to serve the robotics industry, checkout our powerful developer platform that enables companies to leverage robotic manipulation (arms) for any application: picknik.ai/pro/
Start with the customer problem, not the robotics technology. Stick with the customer problem. Be willing to set aside the cool tech you have in service of solving the customer problem better.
