Spyce
Spyce is a fast-casual ‘robotics’ restaurant which cooks complex meals to order. The company, founded by four robotics-obsessed MIT engineers has recently raised a round of funding in Series A and is exploring multiple avenues to invest that money. Does Spyce expand the number of restaurants, or should it pivot to a franchising model, or better yet, could it license out the technology and take a serious turn?
JumpToPC
Personal computers are a luxury that man developing countries can’t afford or reach. That’s where MIT D-Lab in collaboration with partners developed a platform to use any smartphone or television already existing in the household to offer at-home computing solutions. Explore and learn about the strategic decisions that shaped the development journey.
Toyota
Toyota, a globally renowned name in automobiles. But there have been many unintended acceleration issues in many of their vehicles. Why was this the case? Was it sensors, software or sticky pedals and floor mats? Deep dive into the investigation and understand how concepts like critical thinking & decision making were used and abused.
