Machine Inbound, Inc. Information

Machine Inbound helps people build the next era of American industry. Founded by Erin Rapacki, a robotics industry builder, investor, and advisor, we bring together innovation consulting, media, education, and events to help businesses put robotics and Physical AI to work. Erin has spent more than 15 years helping bring robotics to market. Her career spans autonomous mobile robots at Adept Technology, 3D perception at Industrial Perception, telepresence at Suitable Technologies, and robotics and simulation at NVIDIA. In 2012, she wrote in IEEE Spectrum about the need for large datasets and 3D object models to make robots more capable. That experience informs her perspective on what the industry needs next—and what businesses need to adopt it. Our focus is industrial robot readiness: identifying useful applications, understanding operational requirements, and building a practical plan before committing capital. We help manufacturers, investors, and entrepreneurs make informed decisions about automation. Through consulting, courses, publications, speaking, and curated events, Machine Inbound connects technical insight with business decisions. We bring together business leaders, technologists, investors, and policymakers to help turn emerging capabilities into productive industries. Our interests extend to new businesses made possible by AI breakthroughs in science, materials, and engineering. We believe innovation should strengthen American competitiveness, create meaningful careers, and expand economic opportunity. We’re pro-builder and pro-worker. A prosperous future takes intention, investment, and people willing to build it. Technology with purpose. Prosperity by design.
