We are excited to introduce Arnold Kadiu to our panel of Detroit region innovators for the upcoming Detroit Month of Design panel, Designing an Autonomous Robotic Pickup Platform, hosted by Orange Sparkle Ball!
Arnold is the founder and CEO of Intermode, a company specializing in building mobile robots for diverse applications, and has successfully deployed their robots in active commercial operations across several US cities. Prior to establishing Intermode, Kadiu graduated from the University of Michigan, where he dedicated his time to building solar cars. His professional journey continued at Ford Motor Company, where he initially engaged in research related to next-generation electric and autonomous vehicles, earning multiple patents for his groundbreaking work. Subsequently, Kadiu transitioned to Ford's mobility incubator, where he played a pivotal role in launching new programs and projects within the company.
The panel will take place from 4-6pm on Monday, September 9th, and convene speakers across local government, technology, and community organizations; including Brittanie Dabney (CEO and Founder, Ecosphere Organics), Michael Hale Jr. (Project Manager, Office of Mobility Innovation at The City of Detroit), Bre Williamson (Board President, North Corktown Neighborhood Association (NCNA)), and Hannah Ranieri (Innovation Strategist, Orange Sparkle Ball, Inc.), as well as Arnold himself.
