Aseon founders on portable robotic depots for servicing robotaxi fleets
MarwaEldiwiny · x · 2026-10-19
In this podcast episode, Marwa Eldiwiny talks with Aseon co-founders George Kalligeros (ex-Tesla AV engineer) and Dan Keene. Their bet: as robotaxis expand into new cities, cleaning, charging, and inspecting driverless vehicles via massive fixed depots or empty repositioning trips doesn't scale. Aseon replaces the depot model with portable, shared robotic depots — robotic arms and specialized tooling distributed across the city. Video and Spotify links included.
