Episode 3 Promo: Inside Vecna Robotics’ Mission to Build Safer Automated Warehouses

The third episode of Robot vs. Wild takes a close look at one of the most critical success factors in automation: robot safety. Featuring Michael Bearman, Chief Legal & Safety Officer, and Josh Kivenko, Chief Marketing Officer at Vecna Robotics, this episode explores why safety in automation isn’t just about the robots—it’s about people, processes, and long-term culture.

As the episode reveals, early-stage automation pilots can actually lead to increased risk if teams aren’t properly trained or engaged. True safety—and performance—comes when organizations commit to scaling with structure, creating a work environment where teams understand how to interact with AMRs effectively and confidently.

The discussion also underscores Vecna Robotics’ deep commitment to safety, not only through engineering robust systems, but by supporting customers in building the safety mindset and operational readiness required for scalable success.

This episode offers a candid, experience-backed look at what it really takes to run safe, efficient, robot-enabled warehouses.
