#02 Robotics Engineer Raivo Sell

Baltic-American Freedom Foundation Season 1 Episode 2

Rev up your engines and join us for an electrifying episode of Beyond BAFF podcast featuring the brilliant Raivo Sell! As a professor of robotics and head of the Autonomous Vehicles research group at TalTech, Raivo is no stranger to cutting-edge technologies and future innovations. In this episode we discuss:

  • What inspired him to start developing Autonomous Vehicle Shuttles, which is thefirstEstonian self-driving vehicle?
  • How implementing technology is a step-by-step process, not an overnight thing.
  • Ways he has continued his collaboration with contacts he made in the US.
  • How does Raivo see the future of autonomous vehicles?
  • The surprising thing about South Carolina?

So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride filled with knowledge, and technological advancements. And just to get your motor running, here's a joke: Why did the robot go on a diet? To reduce his circuit size! (we'll let Raivo take it from here with the real tech talk).
