  • Is robotics the ultimate tool for giving humans superpower capabilities? Why are snake robots Kevin's nemesis? What prompted Kevin to learn to code? Why is it transformational to bring robots out of the lab/factory and into everyday human environments? How did a summer job in construction provide the basis for focusing on bringing robotics into the built world? What robotic research project with the US military inspired the movie Big Hero 6? Why did the idea of soft robots ultimately not prove to be a good basis for robots in the real world? What is it about surface paint prepping that makes this task so difficult and at the same time such a big opportunity? How did speaking with hotel owners about renovations lead to the concept for Canvas? What are the staggering rates of long-term medical issues construction workers experience due to either accidents or repetitive motion jobs? Why have robots in construction historically not been developed for use in the interiors of buildings? What is the meaning behind the company name Canvas? How are Canvas robots helping to bring drywall workers into the construction industry? What are the constraints that construction robots have to deal with that manufacturing robots do not? Why do construction tech startups need to fully understand the economics of the skilled trades they are impacting when exploring a new technology to bring to market? What causes construction to be such a distributed system? Why is achieving commercial reliability so important for construction robotic companies? What do robotic construction tech companies need to understand about hardware production cycles?

    Kevin Albert - Founder & CEO of Canvas joins Proptech Espresso to answer these questions and discusses how a frustrating second place finish in a high school bridge building competition left him with a chip on his shoulder and fueled a career in wanting to design and build things.
