Carbon Robotics was named one of the top 50 “most influential public and private companies in the global robotics industry” by the Robotics Business Review in 2016. Founded in 2014, Carbon Robotics is working to bring advanced robotics to the masses.
Rosanna Myers, Class of 2009 Baldwin Scholar, has always been fiercely independent. Born to an American father and British mother, Rosanna was raised in England. After high school, she decided to take a gap year; in her words, she was “suffocated by the prospect of taking the prescribed course in life.” She lived alone in a remote indigenous reserve in Costa Rica, teaching school.
She is the co-founder and CEO of Carbon Robotics, which makes advanced robotics dramatically more accessible with low-cost robotic arms and highly intelligent control software. Hailing from the English countryside, Rosanna got her start rebuilding old racing cars with her father and learning about industrial production. Since graduating Duke asa Baldwin Scholar, she’s focused primarily in software development, with her work taking her everywhere from the jungles of Costa Rica to the electronics markets of Shenzhen, China.
