Teddy Ort

How do you transition from a successful prototype to a deployed fleet executing billions of autonomous trips in the real world? In this session, Teddy Ort, Senior Vice President of Robotics Software & AI at Symbotic, will offer a look under the hood at the engineering playbook required to seamlessly scale tens of thousands of robots.

While getting a single robot to work is an achievement, the true challenge of massive scale lies in taming the long tail of unpredictable edge cases. By embracing a cross-functional systems mindset and leveraging sophisticated perception and AI, robots can be empowered to dynamically adapt to changing physical environments. This talk will explore the practical realities of combining AI-driven optimization, large-scale simulation, advanced telemetry, and over-the-air updates to build resilient, world-class robotic solutions – and look at key developments we can expect in the years ahead.
