Rodney Brooks is hailed as one of the most important roboticists in the world who led a career as a famous and distinguished researcher in artificial intelligence at Stanford university, Carnegie Mellon and MIT. After co-founding iRobot in 2008, he leaves the latter and the academics world to create his company Heartlands robotics, considered as one of the most promising start-up companies in the USA. Renamed Rethink Robotics since, the company behind collaborative humanoid Baxter robot , opened the way to a new generation of flexible robots suiting small businesses and industrial production processes lowly automated where humans still occupy their rightful place.
