Episode 98 – Autonomous Cleaning Revolution With Austin Deric

Commercial Robotics Automation: In this episode of Over The Air, Bill Brock, CEO of Peridio sat down with Austin Deric, Director of Software at Tailos, for a fascinating journey through the evolution of commercial robotics. Austin shared his path from the innovative halls of Southwest Research Institute to leading software development for enterprise-grade autonomous vacuum cleaners that are transforming how commercial spaces approach cleaning operations.

The conversation dives deep into the practical challenges of building reliable robots for real-world environments. Austin reveals how Tailos’s approach differs from consumer robotics, emphasizing their philosophy of “out-of-the-box autonomy”. We explore the technical architecture behind their success, from their transition away from Raspberry Pi constraints to embracing open-source solutions like ROS and SLAM Toolbox.

Austin offers valuable insights into:

• The critical differences between contract engineering and product development.
• The technical evolution from legacy systems to modern robotics architecture.
• Real-world challenges of enterprise integration and scaling.
• The thriving robotics ecosystem emerging in Texas, particularly in San Antonio and Austin.

This episode offers valuable insights into the real-world application of cutting-edge robotics technology. Austin’s combination of technical depth and practical business acumen makes this a must-listen for anyone interested in the commercial robotics automation world.
