Snacks & beverages served.

Audience: AI, SW, robotics, aerospace & marine companies, VCs, NASA, startups, press, anyone interested in space commercialization & to be involved in space & subsea exploration.

We recommend to register in advance. The previous event was sold out.

About speakers:

Jonathan Goff is a President/CEO of Altius Space Machines, a space robotics & satellite servicing startup based out in Broomfield, CO. Jonathan founded Altius in 2010, & has helped lead the development of a range of custom robotic systems & mechanisms for space applications, including a wide range of non-cooperative graspers, deployable capture manipulators, asteroid boulder grappling robots, gimbaled RCS thrusters, cryogenic refueling couplings, cooperative satellite grappling fixtures, & satellite modular plug-and-play interfaces. Jonathan is currently leading the development of Bulldog, a microsat-scale LEO satellite servicing vehicle that is designed to provide towing services for failed LEO constellation satellites, as well as repairs & upgrades to spacecraft in LEO & beyond. Jonathan is a long-time commercial space advocate, with several papers written related to orbital propellant depots, & other space technology topics. Jonathan is the proprietor of the Selenian Boondocks space technology & policy blog.

Donald Pickering is CEO of Olis (formerly BluHaptics), a Seattle based software company focused on ocean & space telerobotics. Don has been a long time pioneer in SW & applications & has launched & developed 5 companies over his 23 year career. His prior companies include Cosmix (sold to US Web), Altrec.com, Widemile (sold to Webtrends) & most recently OneOcean, a cloud technologies company focused on organizing & reselling ocean map data. Don has extensive experience in applications, analytics, geospatial & big data & unmanned systems.

Nicolaus Radford is a co-founder & CTO of Houston Mechatronics, a robotics & mechatronics startup specializing in subsea robotics, & founder & CEO of Jacobi Motors focusing on an electric machine for electric vehicles. Previously he spent 14 years at NASA Johnson Space Center, Dexterous Robotics Laboratory. He was a PI for Valkyrie project, a bipedal humanoid robot developed for both disaster response as outlined in the DARPA Robotics Challenge & NASA's Mars exploration vision. He led design & development of Valkyrie, a 44-degree of freedom bipedal humanoid robot. Former to that, he served as the Co-PI & Chief Engineer for Robonaut 2 (R2), a spaceflight humanoid robot, initially developed in partnership with General Motors as a prototype for advanced manufacturing processes requiring human level dexterity & coordination. He then led the efforts to redesign & qualify R2 for the ISS. He was also the PI for NASA in DARPA's advanced electric machine research for robotics using Variable Flux Memory Motors (VFMMs). He also led NASA's efforts in exoskeleton research for ISS crew exercise & mobility assistance & initially served as Co-PI for NASA on DARPA's Warrior Web program, which focused on wearable robotics for military applications.
