“I love seeing my code come to life,” says the developer. “And seeing a machine perform difficult tasks that I’ve been working on for days.”
Igor has swapped his home town in Brazil for Odense and loves his job, where he designs mechanical parts and integration in robots. “Every day you work on something that’s never done before, so you need to figure out how to solve new problems.”
“This is what I love about my job. We have a lot of impact on the technology we use. It’s in my DNA to mess with technology and tinker with electronics.”
Thor works with human motion tracking, which makes it fast to programme a robot. By copying human skills and transferring them to robots, Nordbo Robotics can easily automate processes within polishing and palletising.
“Before, robotics was only for engineers — but nowadays, because of the technology we have, everybody is able to make a simple pick-and-place application.”
“You have to be very innovative in your solutions. One way of doing that is having the willingness to fail and the willingness to take chances and try out new things. We often say, fail, but fail fast, and then learn something from it.”
“That moment when you show a customer something new to them, and they realise how much time and energy they can save, and the potential for them is so great. Pushing those limits of people’s expectations is an endless joy of mine.”
”We can help the construction industry and craftsmen by preventing them from being worn out from the physically hard work with technical aids. We can be front-runners in a new way in an old industry.”
“The robotics industry is extremely exciting due to the possibility of improving SMEs’ efficiency, productivity and the working environment. We can help improve companies’ competitive performance and thereby keep jobs, and through automation, we can improve the working environment.”
