10. Stephen Delaporte - To Bot or Not

On today’s episode, Matthew talks to  Stephen Delaporte (https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephendelaporte/2018/09/24/anatomy-of-a-robot-revolution-tracing-the-origins-of-intuitive-surgical-and-irobot/#141f787b50d1), Founder & CEO of Avar Robotics--whose goal is to create the most high-functioning and efficient robots. During their conversation, the friends share their thoughts on the art of invention. What are the barriers to creating something? What is scientific lineage--an exchange of energy? Delaporte delineates the iteration of the robots his company builds, and what defines a human task versus one that can be easily automated. Sometimes what we don't think of as a human task is incredibly human and  emotionally valuable.
