In this episode of Behind the Robot, we speak with Christian Eberhardt, CTO and Founder of ARIS Robotics, a company building intelligent systems for waste sorting and recycling infrastructure.
Christian shares his unconventional journey from sailing across the Atlantic and teaching navigation on tall ships, to studying robotics and co-founding a startup straight out of university. He reflects on the role of hands-on experience, the importance of saying “yes” to opportunity, and why robotics is as much about resilience and iteration as it is about engineering.
We dive deep into the future of waste management, from AI-powered sorting systems to national recycling schemes and the untapped global potential of automation in the waste industry. Christian also explores how Denmark is leading parts of the circular economy and where robotics, AI, and human decision-making intersect.
