Natalya Lopareva, co-founder and CEO of Algorized, joins Erik to talk about non-visual human sensing and why true perception goes beyond cameras for the future of robotics. From detecting breathing and heartbeats through walls to creating a real-time safety bubble around people in industrial environments, this conversation explores how machines can understand human presence through a head to head ground truth verification process.
The discussion touches on Edge AI, latency, and the transition from rescue missions to commercial robotics. Natalya also reflects on how her approach to risk and innovation was shaped by her experience racing across the Pacific Ocean, where she navigated extreme weather conditions and experienced the surreal shift of living the same day twice after crossing the time zone.
