In this episode of Safety Third: Autonomous Revolution Podcast, Erik talks with Chris Quick, founder of RealBotics and co-author of Robotic Safety Systems: An Applied Approach. They dig into what it really means to bootstrap a robotics company, the realities of applying safety in remote-controlled systems, and how human oversight can play a critical role in a world leaning on AI.

Chris shares the story behind RealBotics’ remote node (aka the “magic box”), his thoughts on building trust with customers without outside funding, and what safety often misses in real-world operations. Plus, hear about the close call that changed how Chris thinks about risk on the job.
