In this episode, we talk to Relay Robotics CEO Michael O'Donnell and CTO Steve Cousins about the features of the newly launched Relay2 delivery robot. O'Donnell discusses how the hotel foodservice market has changed during the pandemic and why third-party food delivery apps like Doordash have upended the room service market for hotels. The result is a renewed opportunity for a larger payload Relay robot to become an important addition to a hotel's service offerings for travelers. Cousins discusses the evolution of the elevator interface integration and the removal of the mechanical elevator-pushing interface that was a key part of the Relay1 robot.

A staffing shortage in hospitality has opened the door for more automation and intelligence to fill in for desperately needed service staff. Rolling into that void is a new generation of service robots who can deliver food, towels, and coffee to hotel guests. Listen to our podcast as the IoT editors talk with Steve Cousins, Founder and CEO of Savioke, a San Jose, California-based company that is creating autonomous robotic technology to help people in the services industry. Steve describes the value robots can have, including two guest-pleasing features: they don't sneeze on anyone, and they don't need tips.

This episode is from the vault and was first released January 15, 2018. This might be a hard question for some people, but let's face it, what does your retirement life look like? Steve Cousins is one of our listeners. (Hi Steve!) After graduating from college Steve joined an oil company at a refinery in Arkansas where he worked as an engineer, manager and eventually as the VP and General Manager. He stayed with the same company for his entire career and remained at the same location. Last year Steve retired upon turning 60 and immediately stepped into a retirement career designed to be part-time, low stress and lots of fun. After a year, the plan is working great! I wanted to discuss with him his choice in a “semi-retirement”. “You Shouldn't run away from something, you have to run towards something.” Steve always thought he would be working until he was 70 or later because he really enjoyed his job. The last few years, things changed he did not enjoy it very much, but he hung on because frankly, he was afraid of retirement. There were several reasons he was afraid of retirement and I think a lot of people can relate. * Steve thought if he was leaving work because he didn't enjoy it anymore that didn't necessarily mean he would enjoy retirement either. * He also looked at the compensation he was getting from work and it was painful for him to walk away from that after working so hard to get to that point in his career. * His job was his identity, and he didn't want to lose that Working to feel useful and productive in your retirement life Even before retiring from his job, Steve decided what he wanted his retirement life to look like. He wanted to feel useful and productive. He started his side gigs which are pretty cool! * Contract Lobbying * Expert Witness Work * Trade Association representation Side gigs or semi-retirement not for you? Steve says, focus on volunteer work. He has a ton of volunteer positions! (As we tend to hear a lot, he is just as busy if not even busier than when he was working) His volunteer work includes: * Chair the Board of Trustees for the local community college * Local Hospital Clinic that helps people who are uninsured or underinsured * State and local Chamber of Commerce * State University mentoring students * On the board of a local group called 50 for the future, where they solve problems in the city It's not all work for Steve. He also spends time with his wife. They enjoy doing a lot of things together like running, hiking, off-road riding, discovering hidden waterfalls, and many more activities. Now that they are retired, they can spend a lot more time together but still spend time doing their own things. Steve's advice from one listener of the show to another: You should marry someone better than yourself and invest a lot of time in your relationship because if everything else went away and you still have each other, you will still be fine. Widen your horizon's. Don't just do your job, volunteer to do other things. Reach outside of your comfort zone and practice public speaking because it helps boost your confidence. What great advice Steve! Did you plan your retirement life? How did you do it? Leave a comment below and let us know!

In this episode of the ARCHITECHT AI Show, Signe Brewster interviews Steve Cousins, CEO of Savioke, about the business of building robots optimized for in-building delivery. The robots currently operate inside hotels, where they can deliver goods from the front desk to guests' rooms, but are also designed for areas such as offices, warehouses and other indoor spaces. Cousins, who co-founded Willow Garage, also discusses the state of human-robot interaction and the slim chances we'll have general-purpose robots anytime soon. In the news segment, co-hosts Brewster, Derrick Harris and Chris Albrecht discuss the new iPhone X AI features, Amazon's claim that robots haven't displaced workers, and the market for robots that interact with our pets.
Think you can become a millionaire by working a regular 9 to 5 job? I know I have a lot of guests on the show who promote the benefits of entrepreneurship and working for yourself to get ahead financially. But for this Listener Series episodes, I chat with Steve Cousins from Arkansas about how he was able to reach financial freedom by working as an employee for the same company for almost 40 years. I know, I know, many of us Millennials may think that Steve's story sounds exactly like the advice our parents gave us. Go to university, get a job, work hard, save and contribute to your retirement fund, then you'll be able to retire in style. This was a way more common path for Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, but I don't think it's impossible for us Millennials. When talking with Steve, it becomes clear that that's not exactly the path you need to take to grow in your career. You can't just get any degree. You need to get one that has a high demand for skilled workers. You can't just work hard. Everyone works hard. You need to realized when it makes sense to stay at a company and when it doesn't. Just like he said, he encouraged some of his co-workers to leave his company because he knew that if they stayed, they wouldn't move up as fast compared to if they went to another company. And lastly, you can just save and contribute to your RRSP or 401K. You need to live frugally, not try to keep up with the Jones', invest wisely and have a plan to continue to earn money during retirement. I absolutely love how Steve has become this serial entrepreneur with 4 different jobs now that he's retired. And it's not that he needs the money or is working 24/7 now. He gets to work when he wants to doing what he wants to. If that's not living the dream, I don't know what is! Thanks Steve for sharing your story with me. Got a story that you think would be good to share on an episode on of Listener series? Please email me! For more podcast episodes, check out the Podcast page. Shownotes: jessicamoorhouse.com/77
