interesting interview, a very cool domain, so cool, it probably makes a business here more appealing as a potential investment, with a good idea and some proof of skill to deliver. access to investors is also important, and the top university environment, like being part of MIT’s alumni, is definitely good to have. it’s true though, the vision does need supporting technologies to exist, as mentioned in the interview, doing robotics in 2000 was very different from only a few years later.
