Listen to another podcast from the team at Robohub. More podcasts from them can be found here.

In this episode, Lilly Clark interviews Aleksandr Kapitonov, “robot economics” academic society professor at Airalab, on his work for Robonomics Platform, an Ethereum network infrastructure for integrating robots and cyber-physical systems directly into the economy. Kapitonov discusses the advantages of using blockchain, use cases including a fully autonomous vending machine, and the Robonomics technology stack.

Below are two videos showing the Robonomics Platform in action via a fully autonomous robot artist and drones for environmental monitoring.
