Episode 5 Promo: There Are No Bad Robots, Only Bad Owners

What really makes or breaks a robotics deployment? Spoiler: it’s not the robot.

In the fifth episode of Robot vs. Wild, Vecna Robotics’ Chief Marketing Officer Josh Kivenko and Customer Success Manager Ty LaFramboise reveal why successful automation is less about machines—and more about mindset. From aligning corporate goals with floor-level operations, to helping teams adjust to new tech, Ty shares how real value emerges when people and robots work together.

The truth is, technology isn’t the problem—adoption is. Robots are ready to work, but without the right alignment between corporate leadership, site management, and frontline teams, even the smartest automation can stall. That’s why customer success doesn’t end at deployment. Vecna partners with clients long after launch to fine-tune performance, shorten the learning curve, and adapt systems to the realities of the floor.

In this episode, you’ll hear how throughput explodes when robots handle long hauls and workers focus on what they do best. And why, with the right support, even the most skeptical teams can transform into power users.
