Robotics.Scaled

After spending more than a decade helping robotics, drone, autonomous systems, and deep tech companies bring innovative technologies to market, Vanessa Warncke became fascinated by one question: What separates the companies that scale from those that don't? That question became the foundation of ROBOTICS.SCALED. Each episode features honest conversations with founders, operators, researchers, and investors who are building the future of robotics. Together, they unpack what it really takes to turn breakthrough technology into successful businesses—from finding product-market fit and landing early customers to fundraising, commercialization, go-to-market strategy, and scaling globally. Whether you're building a robotics startup, working in AI or automation, investing in deep tech, or simply curious about where robotics is headed, you'll find practical insights and real stories from the people shaping the industry.

  What Stops Robotics Pilots From Becoming Real Deployments

  Aug 25, 202640 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Robotics.Scaled, Vanessa sits down with Kateryna Portmann from ANYbotics to unpack one of the biggest challenges in robotics commercialization: moving from a successful pilot to a real deployment that creates measurable business value.<br /><br />The surprising part? In many cases, the technology is not the main problem.<br /><br />Kateryna explains why robotics pilots often fail because companies are not truly ready for deployment. Missing stakeholder alignment, unclear ROI, weak training, legacy systems, poor workflow integration, and a lack of executive buy-in can leave even strong robotics technology stuck in pilot purgatory.<br /><...

  3 Things Every Robotics Startup Needs for Product-Market Fit

  Aug 14, 202634 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Robotics.Scaled, Vanessa sits down with Alessandro Mora, Co-Founder & CEO of Ascento, to unpack the journey from an ETH robotics prototype to a growing security robotics company operating across international markets.<br /><br />The conversation goes far beyond the robot itself. Alessandro shares how Ascento found its first real use case in outdoor security, identified the right ideal customer profile (ICP), validated product-market fit, and learned to avoid getting trapped in endless pilot projects.<br /><br />They also explore why some customers are worth pursuing while others aren't, how to define success before launching a...

  How to Find the Right Market for Your Robotics Startup

  Jul 27, 202640 minS1

  <p>In this episode of Robotics.Scaled, Vanessa Warncke sits down with Prof. Dr. Yulia Sandamirskaya, Professor at ZHAW and Co-Founder of YuRo, to explore the realities of commercializing cutting-edge robotics technology. From years of AI, neuroscience, and robotics research to launching a robotics startup, Yulia shares how founders can bridge the gap between breakthrough innovation and real-world adoption.<br /><br />They dive into why healthcare became YuRo's first market, how robotics companies should approach go-to-market strategy, why software may be a smarter bet than building hardware, and what it really takes to achieve product-market fit in robotics. The conversation...
