Sven talks about how he always wanted to be a robotics entrepreneur and how ArtiMinds makes programming robots easier.
Like so many, Sven got interested in robotics early. He found robots exciting as they could make his programs come to life and work outside the computer. They could do so much more than just display graphics on the computer screen.
Sven also decided to become a robot entrepreneur early and worked on becoming a robotics entrepreneur from high school and through university where he met his co-founders of ArtiMinds.
Sven talks about how ArtiMinds grew out of the work he did at university and how it focuses on making it easier, faster and more intuitive to program complex robot manipulation tasks.
ArtiMinds software platform makes it easier and more intuitive to create your robotics program by dragging and dropping building blocks representing different steps needed to perform a task.
This allows you to automate tasks requiring flexibility and force control for example in industrial assembly and laboratory automation.
We also hear how ArtiMinds software makes it easier to handle assembly of flexible material and inexact parts. For instance, it can help you develop applications involving cabling and wire assembly which is usually considered to be a very difficult task for robots.
This interview was recorded in 2016.
As of 2018/05 ArtiMinds has grown to greater than 70 employees.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
