0:00--:--

Discussion of Cannabis-focused AI and the Jiko Automated Pre-roll Infusion Robot with serial entrepreneur Nohtal Partansky, Co-Founder and CEO of Sorting Robotics. Nohtal is also the Co-Founder and CEO of Rise Co-Packing, the premier automation-first co-packer for trimming, pre-rolls, & turn-key cannabis brand needs, and Inventor of Jiko Joints, the first robotically infused badder cannabis pre-rolls currently available in 15 dispensaries across California. Nohtal Partansky, Co-Founder and CEO of Sorting Robotics , an industrial cannabis-focused AI and computer vision technologies company, is a serial entrepreneur and former NASA-JPL engineer. During his time at NASA-JPL, Nohtal was assigned to a project called the Mars Oxygen In Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE), and the mission to develop a device that can take in the atmosphere of Mars and produce oxygen for people to breathe was successfully accomplished. After leaving NASA-JPL, Nohtal immediately founded Sorting Robotics with his two co-founders, Cassio Dos Santos Jr. and Sean Lawlor. In 4 short years, Nohtal has led Sorting Robotics in building new innovative equipment for cannabis manufacturers and vertically integrated brands. While building Sorting Robotics, Nohtal witnessed first hand how the lack of automation in the cannabis industry creates inefficiencies that degrade the smooth operation of the value chain and diminish profit margins. Today, Sorting Robotics is solving those problems with AI-driven machines deployed across multiple states and in Canada. Nohtal is also the Co-Founder and CEO of Rise Co-Packing , the premier automation-first co-packer for trimming, pre-rolls, & turn-key cannabis brand needs, and Inventor of Jiko Joints , the first robotically infused badder cannabis pre-rolls currently available in 15 dispensaries across California.
