Who writes here
Three bylines cover the ten sections of this publication. Each byline is a standing desk within NexTao GmbH, not a freelance pool, and each one is responsible for the figures published under it. Questions on a specific article go to info@nextao.de.
Industrial robotics and mechanics
Arden Kovil
Arden Kovil writes about industrial robot cells, actuators and machine safety. His focus is the gap between a datasheet figure and what the cell does on the third shift.
Robot software, perception and learning
Anika Sorel
Anika Sorel covers robot software, perception and learned control. She reads the papers, then asks what survives contact with a real gripper.
Mobile robots, humanoids and markets
Aurel Nadin
Aurel Nadin follows mobile robots, humanoid programmes and the money behind them. He tracks shipment numbers rather than launch videos.
