In 2013 he co-founded Robo-STOX™ LLC (renamed in 2015 to ROBO-Global) and developed a tracking index for the robotics industry: the ROBO-Global™ Robotics & Automation Index.\n\nFrank talks about how and why he shifted to robotics and how looking for an investment opportunity in robotics lead him to start ROBO Global, a robotics focused index company.\n\nBoth companies have given Frank a unique perspective on the robotics scene as a whole, over a significant period of time, and we are pleased that he wanted to share some of his insights from that with us."}
