About This Talk
Understand the critical infrastructure and developer tools needed to scale robotics development. Foxglove's Bahram Banisadr examines data management, observability platforms, and robotics infrastructure gaps that slow physical AI development from lab to production. Featured at Actuate, Foxglove's annual conference for robotics developers.
Speaker
Bahram is Head of Product at Foxglove, where for the past three years he’s led efforts to build tools that accelerate the research, development, and scaling of physical AI from lab to operations. Prior to that, he worked at Amazon as product lead for the simulation and mapping team at Scout, focused on advancing autonomy for last-mile ground delivery. Before Amazon, he launched and scaled Event Grid, Microsoft Azure’s pub-sub event system. Earlier, he served as a deployment strategist at Palantir and helped grow Caviar from Series A through acquisition. Bahram’s fascination with robotics dates to childhood, but a pivotal moment came when he helped calibrate the ChemCam instrument on NASA’s Curiosity rover, which has been operating on Mars since 2012. He holds dual B.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Business, and an M.S. in Robotics from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and The Wharton School.
