As advisor to Kassow Robots I am once again directly involved in collaborative robotics. This time my experience and skills plays an active role in making the already very friendly and flexible cobots even easier to install. Also my deep involvement in robot standards will be useful in preparing the cobots for the new ISO standards expected to be mandatory from 2022/2023.

Unicontrol is a fast executing manufacturer of machine control systems for excavators less than 15 tons. Focus on ease-of-use enables a training time of just 20-30 minutes. Now the strong national growth will be scaled into globally success. See more at https://unicontrol.io

It is time to take the 13 years of experience in collaborative robotics and reuse the skills in a slightly different field.

Chairman, Danish National Robot Standardization Committee, DS S-850 The committee is responsible for the danish work and votes in these international committees: - ISO/TC 299 - ISO standards for robots and robotic equipment. - CEN/TC 310 - European automation safety standards harmonized under EU directives and regulations.

Nord Modules manufacture professional and safe equipment for mobile industrial applications. With the high demand for MiR robots in factories all over the world; fast integration of MiR applications - simple and easy for both integrator and factory worker - is the key to exponential growth.

After selling Purple Robotics to OnRobot, our baby products VG10 and QC10 are joining the ambitious journey of OnRobot - Creating THE one-stop shop for collaborative robot applications - a natural and perfect match with OnRobot.

Purple Robotics was based on the idea to disrupt vacuum based (suction cups) collaborative robot applications. * Develop the worlds first dual grip electrical vacuum gripper * Develop the perfect collaborative quick changer * Create a global distribution network - with about 40 distributors in 25 countries After less than one year of operation we got an offer from OnRobot that we could not neglect, and Purple Robotics was acquired 31th of August 2018, after just 364 days of actual operation.

I worked for Universal Robots from being 3 persons in a project room until being ~300 employees in a global company. The company has been acquired by Teradyne, and is therefore part of their listing on NASDAQ. Activities: • Standardization expert in various committees • Compliance with EU directives, CE marking and also USA and Asia • Robot safety system architecture • TÜV certification processes Until the company was acquired by Teradyne, all sold robots were based on electronics developed by me.

A course stretching over three months teaching Board of Directors decision making. Wide variety of authentic and realistic case studies, where we trained taking the right decisions in critical situations.

I love to learn. As a student I took more courses than required. I graduated using nominal time with more than 15 ECTS points to spare and with one of the highest grade point averages that year.
