Gui Cavalcanti

Gui Cavalcanti has been leading teams designing high performance hydraulic and pneumatic robots for the past 12 years. He worked on several humanoid and quadrupedal legged robots at Boston Dynamics, and later cofounded and ran MegaBots, building 15-ton, 16 foot tall, 430 horsepower hydraulic humanoid combat robots. His latest effort, Breeze Automation, is focused using high end control systems, hydraulic and pneumatic actuation, and novel mechanical design to create incredibly lightweight, very inexpensive robots that can operate in environments as extreme as under the ocean and in outer space. His goal is to bring affordable robotic automation to real world environments to automate the dull, dirty, dangerous tasks that have been promised for decades but remain unattainable to heavy, delicate electric actuation.
