Podcast appearances and mentions of ian bernstein

Ian Bernstein may not be a household name, yet, but ask anyone about Sphero, the robot ball he invented and you'll instantly get nods of recognition. Most recently, Ian founded Misty Robotics to deliver a true robotics platform that can be used by individuals and businesses to explore the possibilities of robotics. We discuss how Misty has been used by organizations tracking temperatures for COVID, air quality during the historic 2020 fire season, and even its use as a magician's assistant.

Star Wars and robots go together hand in hand, so it's appropriate that Ian Bernstein, Co-founder of Misty Robotics has experience with both. Ian and I discuss his history from Sphero to BB-8 to Misty II, a versatile little robot who can do basically anything you program it to do, including screen you for COVID-19 in the most adorable way possible. Plus, I share some thoughts on the Surface Duo and wonder if we're making the right comparisons these days.

In this episode of Inside Visitor Management, sponsored by SIA, we sit down with Tim Enwall and Ian Bernstein of Misty Robotics to talk about how they made such a charming and effective security robot, as well as how Misty is mitigating human risk at the reception counter during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The role of a father plays a pivotal role in a child’s life. Ian Bernstein is a former Founder of Sphero and is now the Founder and Head of Product of Misty Robotics — they’re building the first programmable robot for the home and business. It’s called Misty II. The journey of building Misty II started when Ian was 5 years old and his dad bought him an Apple IIe.

In this episode, Audrow Nash speaks with Ian Bernstein, Founder and Head of Product at Misty Robotics, about a robotics platform designed for developers called Misty II.  Bernstein discusses the motivation behind making a robotics platform for developers (relating it to personal computers), Misty II's hardware extensibility and software “skills,” and the future direction of Misty Robotics.

You may have heard of Sphero. You may have heard of Star Wars. Adam looked at all the robots he could find. But one robot maker had a great product, a great plan, and a great story to along with it. It’s like a trifecta of awesome. We’ve got droids, we got a passionate developer community, and we have a company that’s here for the long haul. But, since this is a special podcast, we needed a special guest to unpack it all. Joining Adam and Joe, is Jonathan Strickland from the Tech Stuff podcast. Jonathan has been podcasting about technology for over 10 years and 1,000 episodes, so it was only appropriate to bring him on to talk Misty II, the ultimate developer’s robot! This is Part 1 of a two-part episode. Part 2 is located on the Tech Stuff channel. Go check it out, and subscribe to one of the best tech podcasts on the internet!

Ian Bernstein, the founder of Misty Robotics, joined us at Collision 2018 to talk about Misty, the advanced personal robot with professional grade, programmable sensors, bringing us ever closer to the reality of a useful robot in every home and office. Evolved from Sphero, Misty is a robot made for developers of every skill level.Inspired by the household robot imagery that he grew up with, like Rosie in the Jetsons and the android assistants in Star Wars, Bernstein started building his own robots when he was just 12. Eight years ago, he launched Sphero, an app-enabled, connected play robotic ball now used in STEM education programs in 10,000-15,000 schools worldwide. From there he developed the popular home version of BB-8, a droid character in the Star Wars franchise. Misty is the next generation of Bernstein's robot imagination, an outgrowth of his interest in telepresence robotics. Taking a page from devices like the Amazon Echo, and how people interact with it, Bernstein decided it was more important that his version of a personal robot leverage the power of personality, with telepresence capabilities, but also much more.It's easy to program in a variety of languages, as well as through a visual block programming interface. Users can modify robot functionality as desired and it is also hardware hackable. Misty comes equipped with far-field microphones, voice and face recognition, capacitive touch, bump and depth sensors and more. The magnetic panels are easy to remove, as are simple screws in other locations, and the robot is well equipped with serial and USB ports, along with an Arduino backpack to enable further customization of responses and actions.Misty comes in two versions, with an MSRP of $3200 although there are discounts and a referral program to reduce costs. Misty I is available now, and Misty II ships in December. Right out of the box, Misty is able to generate a detailed floor plan of your home, and charge herself at the nearest outlet, as well as perform some other basic tasks. With a wealth of developer tools on the website and an active developer community, imagination is the only limit to creating customized user functionality with Misty. You don't even have to own the robot yet, to be active in the Misty Robotics community. All you need is an interest in robots.

Today we're talking with Sphero Founder and and Chief Software Architect Adam Wilson. Adam grew up with a healthy obsession for robots, but with a software focus. After getting involved with a NASA project working with Internet controlled robotics, Sphero Co-founder Ian Bernstein got in touch and he and Adam got rolling with TechStars to pursue their passion. Sick of huge robotic consoles, Ian and Adam had an epiphany to control robots from your cell phone. Click here for show notes and transcription.
