Robots are the future. Whether we like it or not, we live in an era where more and more things in the world are becoming mechanised. However, the technologies that go into the different machines has to come from somewhere, and this is where today´s guest Pablo comes in.
Pablo is working as a Robotics vision scientist at an advanced technology company called iRobot.
Pablo and his team are working with computer vision and on developing and improving technologies used in robots. What Pablo is doing, is helping robots “see” and understand the real physical world through a camera or mapping, so that the robots can interact and function without the need of a human manually guiding it. The technologies Pablo is working with is really amazing, and has so many potential uses.
For example, imagine a world where blind people are given the ability to navigate easier thanks to sensors attached to a pair of wearable glasses, or sitting in a driverless car which takes your from point A to point B while perfectly manoeuvring all obstacles along the way. The possibilities are endless. -
Have you ever visited a website that was super easy to navigate through, where you found all the information you needed easily, and where you had a great experience and pleasure being on?
Well, that probably means that the website had a great user experience design.
What many people don't know is that a lot of mobile applications and websites are specifically designed, both visually and technically, to maximize usability and the user experience, which is what today's guest Martin Grina is all about.
Martin is working as an IT Consultant, dealing with different clients, and whose job is to provide the best user experience for using a product, for example, an application or a website.
A typical day at work for Martin usually involves working in teams, and doing research to find out what the desires of the users are, so that they can figure out how best cover their needs.
In this interview, Martin will talk about his journey, studying and working as a freelancer, and he will also give a lot of great advice on steps you can take to become more attractive in the job market, which is something a lot of newly finished graduates are struggling to do.
There is a lot of good and valuable information Martin has shared with us in this interview, and it can be wise to take notes underway. We hope that you will have just as much fun listening and learning, as we had interviewing him!
