Jorien&REEMHi I’m Jorien! I work at PAL Robotics since april 2009 and I work in the marketing department of the company. Just like Davide, I would like to give you an insider’s look at life in our lab!
Seeing our lab now it’s hard to imagine where we have come from.. Before moving to our current lab, the company had two previous offices, both located in the city centre of Barcelona. Both spaces were quite small and they were more like apartment buildings than any sort of robotic lab. The second office even had a room with a fireplace, as you can see in the first official video from REEM-B! :)
At the beginning of the company there were only 4 engineers, but the team grew fast and became a group of 12 in 2008! PAL Robotics was about to expand even further and found a great new lab space in Poble Nou, in the middle of the new technology district 22@, also in Barcelona.
So, in the winter of 2008 we moved! Our current lab is way more sophisticated than the first two! :) We have a lot of space, divided in different departments - from software, electronics, mechanics to business and marketing. The lab is very well decorated with a great sense of style and we have many common spaces to hang out and chill, like our private Starbucks area! :) Flip through the photos and get an impression of our daily work environment!
