## Resource

Our guest this week is Derik Pridmore, CEO and co-founder of OSARO. OSARO develops intelligent AI robotics for real-world warehouse automation, delivering scalable fulfillment solutions that optimize throughput, uptime, and overall performance. In this conversation, Pridmore breaks down how warehouse robotics has evolved from limited perception systems to adaptable AI-driven automation. He shares why hardware-agnostic design, continuous learning, and real-world monitoring matter more than flashy demos — and why the biggest breakthroughs in robotics still depend on balancing specificity, reliability, and safety.
