HWSC x WiBotic: From UW ECE to Startup
NOW ON JUNE 1!
We're excited to host a fireside chat with WiBotic, diving into what it actually takes to spin a technical idea out of a university lab and build it into a real robotics company.
🤖 WiBotic (https://wibotic.com/) builds wireless autonomous charging systems for robot fleets, enabling mobile, aerial, and industrial robots to charge without human intervention.
The company grew out of Prof. Smith's UW ECE lab and has since become a key piece of infrastructure for robotics deployments across industries.
We'll cover the technical architecture behind the product, the process of commercializing research from a UW ECE lab, and the early-stage challenges of building a hardware company from the ground up.
If you're interested in robotics, hardware startups, or what it looks like to take a research project all the way to market, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
