Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics, Lausanne, answered to the question in French: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out in your company?”. Service robotics is an emerging market and BlueBotics carries out as many ideas as possible, 2-3% because only 1 of 10 prototypes will make its way to the market. For sure, he knows his way like their robots do.
