Speaker:

Mr. Bruemmer loves transforming invention into commercial value. He created the AI brain, the Robot Intelligence Kernel,  used across many robotic programs. He started with NSF grants, then worked with DARPA on early self-driving cars and the first 100 robot swarm. He integrated tech from multiple DARPA offices into an interoperable robotics AI solution which he ported onto diverse robots. With DOE support, he built a large team to deliver environmental monitoring, radiation characterization and site security.  congressional support flowed through interagency agreements with NASA, DOC, DOE, DoD, and DOT, enabling autonomous humanoids, landmine detection and bomb disposal robots, drones, tanks and convoys. In 2009 he founded a robotics company which matured the tech through Navy and Army SBIR Phase III awards. He commercialized UWB as a GNSS enhancement,
spurring adoption into cellphones and cars. He then commercialized it into mining, rail, automotive, and logistics. At W8less, he extended this innovation into airports (JFK), rail (NJ Transit), cars (Ford, Aptiv, GM) and trucks (PACCAR).
