AI in Business Initiative BizTech Series
Raffaello D'Andrea, professor at ETH Zurich, where he founded the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control, will discuss his work.
His research focuses on embodied intelligence—the intersection of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and the physical world. He is the founder and CEO of Verity, a company that has created a mobile intelligence platform utilizing fleets of fully autonomous drones to eliminate inventory errors, generate actionable operational insights, and close the gap between digital systems and physical operations for global supply chain leaders like IKEA and Maersk.
Previously, D'Andrea co-founded Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics), where he architected the mobile robots and motion layer for warehouse logistics. The deployment of the system created at Kiva has since grown to over one million autonomous robots globally. He also co-founded the systems engineering program at Cornell University, where he led four RoboCup world championship teams as the program's flagship project, and co-founded ROBO Global, creator of the world's first robotics and AI ETF.
This event is part of the BizTech Lecture Series, which explores the intersection of technology and innovation in business. This series features a diverse lineup of industry leaders, executives, and tech pioneers who are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to tackle pressing global business challenges.
