AMP - Carter Schultz, Robotics Architect
Imagine you’re faced with the challenge to build a system that can handle billions of recyclable items per year with the goal of being better than a human at identifying what can be recycled. Material classification is a complex problem that requires a lot of data and a lot of processing power and it is a cutting-edge field of research.
Carters Schultz and his colleagues at AMP chose Rust to build the core of this system — and it worked “shockingly well”. In this interview, Carter, charismatic and witty, shares his experience of getting your hands dirty with Rust, and building a cutting-edge production-ready system, which can be now replicated across the world.
