Cutting-Edge Robotic Manipulation: The Future of 3D Bin-Picking and Industrial Automation?

The robotics industry is growing – and fast. Predicted to hit $34 billion in the US this year, the robotics market is changing the way companies interact, factories assemble, and people work. The work behind these robots is no easy feat, it takes years, sometimes even decades to build the machines we rely on. So, why is robotic manipulation important and how can it provide a cutting-edge solution within the industry?

In the latest episode of CalTV, a Calvary Robotics podcast, host Mike Marseglia invites guest Jared Glover, CEO of CapSen Robotics to discuss CapSen’s history and its cutting-edge solution to bin-picking within the industry.

Marseglia and Glover go over:

1) How CapSen was founded and the market research that went into growing their 3D vision and robotic manipulation capabilities

2) What 3D bin-picking is, and why it is so important within the industry

3) The challenges to the industry and what makes this technology cutting-edge

“What’s really challenging in a lot of cases is, you know, how do you get the robot to do everything that a person would be doing…how do you get the robot to do more complicated things with the objects after they get picked out of the bin?,” said Glover. This is where cutting-edge robotic manipulation comes into play.

Glover is the CEO and Co-founder of CapSen Robotics, an advanced 3D vision and motion planning software for industrial robot automation in Pittsburgh, PA. Glover is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his B.S. in Computer Science, before heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete his PhD in Computer Science.

Five by Five Leadership: Why Purpose, Warmth, and Clarity Matter More Than Ever at Work
February 10, 2026

For the first time in history, workplaces now span five generations, forcing leaders to rethink long-standing assumptions about motivation, communication, and career growth. As Gen Z enters the workforce, they bring expectations shaped by a desire for meaningful work, clear development paths, and work-life balance—rather than traditional, one-size-fits-all career ladders. In an era marked…

Regional public universities are being asked to do more with fewer students, fewer dollars, and less margin for error—making student persistence, timely graduation, and career outcomes central institutional concerns. Under mounting enrollment pressure and a shifting labor market, experiential learning has moved from a “nice to have” to a strategic imperative. Research consistently shows…

The Next Data Center Bottleneck Isn’t Power or Cooling — It’s People: The Data Center Workforce
February 8, 2026

With the rapid rise of AI workloads, data centers are being built with higher power density, stricter reliability expectations, and cooling technologies that are evolving faster than most teams can adapt. As a result, these facilities aren’t just getting bigger—they’re becoming harder to operate, harder to staff, and far less forgiving when something goes…

Telecom networks are no longer planned or evaluated in isolation. As 5G, private LTE, fixed wireless, and mission-critical communications expand, operators are expected to deliver stronger coverage, higher reliability, and demonstrable performance—often while managing complex technologies and constrained resources. Regulators, customers, and public agencies are increasingly focused on outcomes that can be measured and…
