Episode 154
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
In this episode, Grant McHerron talks with Michael Irwin, Founder and CEO of Breaker Industries, about how its autonomous platform turns human intent into robotic support.We begin our discussion by getting a history of Michael’s career and Breaker Industries, and assess the differences between true autonomy vs remote control. We review how the system was built from the autonomous decision making protocols, to authentication and validation measures, and voice recognition training. Michael shares how the software is installed and the open modular design to connect many existing systems across multiple domains, making it integrate and adapt easily to hardware.We wrap up by reviewing use cases for their autonomous platform, and get an overview of their current funding and future plans for expansion into the US market.Links:Breaker Industrieswww.breakerindustries.comBreaker hopes to solve autonomous orchestration problemwww.australiandefence.com.au/news/news/breaker-hopes-to-solve-autonomous-orchestration-problem------------------The ADM Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of Australian Defence Magazine, a Yaffa Media title (www.australiandefence.com.au).The views of the people appearing on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of Australian Defence Magazine, the Department of Defence or the guests' employer.If you wish to use any of this podcast's audio, please contact Australian Defence Magazine via their website www.australiandefence.com.au or email them via defmag@yaffa.com.au to get involved.ADM Podcasts are a blend of public interest journalism and sponsored content with a focus on the Defence community.
