Jeff Corpuz and Rian Bogle, Agility Robotics
Robots as a Service: we deploy autonomous humanoid robots to perform tasks in warehouses. Our robot management software, which handles designing and running task workflows on fleets of robots, runs in AWS. For this talk, we will describe our journey developing a hybrid robot-cloud system, including how we used SRE practices to improve the reliability and stability of the RaaS deployments.
Jeff Corpuz is a Senior Engineering Manager at Agility Robotics, where he leads the Compute Platform and Internal Services teams within the Infrastructure organization. With more than a decade of experience across startups and large enterprises, Jeff has driven the adoption of cloud-native patterns and thrived in creating a bit of organized chaos with Kubernetes. He joined the robotics industry for the fun of controlling robots from the cloud, and today focuses on building strong, empowered engineering teams that keep the infrastructure running smoothly, so he can spend more time sailing, snowboarding, or scuba diving in peace.
Rian Bogle is the Principal Architect for Cloud and Infrastructure at Agility Robotics, where he designs and builds scalable, cloud-native systems for next-generation robotics. With over 20 years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, and high-performance computing, he has led high-performing teams driving digital transformation and cloud adoption. A product-focused engineering leader, Rian is passionate about helping organizations maximize the impact and value of their software engineering teams.
