A Microsoft robotics team member says this marks the end of an “incredible year” at Microsoft and looks back on helping shape the company’s robotics strategy in Zurich.
He says he and Isar Meijer were originally the entire robot learning team in Zurich, and that the effort later grew into a much stronger group. The post reads like a personal farewell and a brief retrospective on Microsoft’s robot learning work, rather than a product announcement.
