Let's Talk Robotics with Nicci Rossouw!

John V. Healy, Vice President and General Manager of the Industrial and Robotics Division at Intel Corporation, joins our podcast, Let’s Talk Robotics with Nicci Rossouw, to explore the evolving role of AI-powered robotics in modern industry.
In this episode, John shares insights from over 30 years of experience in the technology sector, leading Intel’s industrial and robotics strategy across manufacturing, process automation, energy, and edge AI solutions. He discusses how intelligent systems at the edge are transforming industrial operations and enabling new levels of efficiency and business value.
His career spans multiple leadership roles at Intel in customer engineering, platform management, software-defined infrastructure, and datacenter solutions. Prior to Intel, he held engineering and business development positions at Telecom Eireann and Eircom Ltd., with international experience at AT&T Unisource and Infonet Services.
John holds a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering and telecommunications from the University of Limerick and is a Chartered Engineer in Ireland and Europe. He is a member of the IEEE and a frequent speaker on AI, robotics, edge computing, and digital infrastructure transformation.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Robotics, I am joined by Paul Mason, incoming CEO of Robotics Australia Group.
Paul works at the intersection of industry, research, and government, focused on building the ecosystem that enables Australia to develop genuine sovereign capability in robotics and advanced manufacturing.
With over 25 years of experience across design, manufacturing, and commercialisation, he helps businesses bridge the gap between concept and scalable operation—whether through lean practices, automation, robotics, AI, or strengthening core operational foundations.
He is also co-host of the Manufacturing Tech Australia podcast, where he shares real conversations with manufacturers, technologists, and industry leaders about what is actually working in the field.
Listen now to the full conversation.

My guest today on Let’s Talk Robotics, is Kelsey Treloar. Kelsey is the Co-Founder and Director of Innovation at Southern Ocean Subsea, where he leads the development of advanced subsea robotics and engineered solutions for marine, aquaculture, and subsea infrastructure applications.
As a driving force behind the company, Kelsey has helped shape its vision and establish its position within Australia’s rapidly growing blue-tech sector. He leads technical innovation and engineering excellence, spearheading the design of cutting-edge remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and subsea systems built to solve real-world challenges in demanding underwater environments.
With a strong foundation in offshore oil and gas and aquaculture, Kelsey brings a practical, solutions-focused approach to subsea engineering. His work centres on developing custom robotics and tooling that enhance operational efficiency, improve safety, and support more sustainable practices across ocean industries.
Among his notable contributions is the Apama ROV platform, designed to deliver safer, smarter, and more efficient underwater inspection and maintenance operations.
Under his leadership, Southern Ocean Subsea has earned recognition for innovation and impact in the marine technology space, with Kelsey also named among Tasmania’s Top 20 Young Entrepreneurs for his role in advancing subsea robotics and ocean innovation.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Robotics, Nicci Rossouw, speaks with Andreas Ramm, CEO of Industrial Robotics.
Andreas leads the deployment of next-generation AI-powered robotic systems for Australian manufacturing, focusing on the use of computer vision, smart algorithms, and autonomous quality-control technologies to improve productivity, precision, and reliability in industrial environments.
With more than 20 years of experience across robotics, manufacturing, mining, and agriculture, Andreas has held leadership roles in company management, operations, product development, and engineering. Throughout his career, he has overseen the development of solutions that integrate automation, perception systems, and intelligent workflow optimisation across complex industrial settings.
