Then we get into deployment reality - what happens when AI hits a real factory floor. And we close with the part nobody wants to discuss - how do you actually sell this stuff through integrators and OEMs.\nAsad previously worked at Vicarious (acquired by Google) and ByteDance's robotics program. Trener recently raised a $32M Series A co-led by Engine Ventures and IAG Capital Partners to scale their Acteris platform - a robot-agnostic AI skills platform that works across ABB, Universal Robots, FANUC and others.\nLearn more about Trener Robotics: https://trener.ai\nThe OPTIM Update covers real-world AI, automation, robotics, and AI Infrastructure for founders, investors, and operators.\nSubscribe: https://www.optim.vc","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MD1uw3xsUV8NIC9WNTbAWnAxAqctNuVEgSaMzKwMDRQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYTFk/YTA0N2ZmOThmMmZl/ZGVjMjA3NWMwZDUw/YmRlMS5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
