Nathan Podkaminer and Scott Peters
CO-FOUNDERS, CONSTRUCTION ROBOTICS
Innovation:
Created a brick-laying robot.
Vision:
Nathan Podkaminer and Scott Peters developed the SAM bricklaying robot to use algorithms, sensors, and a laser to precisely place bricks. SAM exponentially boosts productivity and doesn’t become fatigued from repeatable tasks (as its human counterparts do).
Economics:
With safety and efficiency in mind, Podkaminer and created SAM, short for Semi-Automated Mason, the first commercially available bricklaying robot for onsite masonry construction.
