I just received the news that my colleagues at Lonrach R&T have been given a donation from an anonymous donor for the purpose of creating a robotics development branch, tentatively called Victus Robotics. As I understand it, this new company will focus on producing circuit designs for robotics components and home or office automation, with some being open source and some being proprietary.
I am old enough to remember the rise of computers as a household tool, and I firmly believe that domestic robotics now is where computers were in about 1990. A decade from now I expect every household and office to have at least a couple of domestic robots of some form, so I am really excited to have this chance to be a part of building the future.
I am eagerly anticipating the challenges that this new company will provide to me and my associates in Lonrach.
I am a physicist recently graduated from the University of Victoria, with a doctorate in theoretical physics. I also have training in mathematics, engineering and computer programming.
