  Authoring Autonomy - Brian Ringley - Keynote Presentation - Boston Dynamics - CDFAM - DC 2026

  September 03, 2026 · 📺 CDFAM

  Recorded at CDFAM, Washington DC, July 2026 https://cdfam.com/cd-dc-26/ Organization: Boston Dynamics Presenter: Brian Ringley Authoring Autonomy Presentation Abstract When the core value proposition of the humanoid form is generalized capability through massive retaskability, is the world’s most dynamic humanoid hardware enough? The next industrial revolution will rely on industry-leading AI brains in addition to production-grade humanoids and scaled manufacturing. These brains are taught with large data sets rather than programmed, but spatial reasoning can’t be scraped from the intern…

  Designing the Robot That Can Do Anything with Brian Ringley

  August 19, 2026 · 📺 The Machine Minds Show

  What happens when a robot is no longer built for one fixed task, but can potentially be retasked through software to do thousands of different things? Brian Ringley, HRI Designer at Boston Dynamics, joins Greg for the 150th episode of Machine Minds to explore that question through the evolution of Spot, Atlas, and the software systems that connect increasingly capable robots to the people and environments around them. Brian’s path into robotics is anything but conventional. After starting in architecture, CNC machining, industrial robotic arms, computational design, and construction technolo…

  Designing the product that can do anything ft. Brian Ringley | Config 2026

  July 07, 2026 · 📺 Figma

  Software, robotics, machine intelligence, and spatial computing have collided to present us with one of the greatest UX challenges of our time: How do you design an interface for a humanoid robot that can theoretically do anything? This talk will dive into the design challenges of teaching a robot about the world in three parts: Training robots to develop skills, building application interfaces to author task behaviors, and integrating with facilities to monitor robots’ effectiveness and realize the vision of the software-defined factory. ____________________________________________________ F…

  David Burczyk & Brian Ringley - Exploring the use of autonomous robots in construction - NXTBLD 2021

  January 07, 2022 · 📺 AEC MAGAZINE

  Robots in construction have the potential to enhance field-oriented workflows, reduce the amount of rework, and facilitate on-site tasks. Utilising robots for routine tasks in hazardous environments such as construction sites can improve safety, efficiency, and data capture consistency. Trimble and Boston Dynamics announced an exclusive alliance agreement for Trimble to be the sole integration partner for construction data collection technologies, including 3D laser scanning, GNSS, and robotic total stations with Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot. With a focus on building construction and civil co…
