Bio
Lajos E. Palasti
As Chief Operating Officer at Popular Robotics for its subsidiary, Pegasus AI Technologies I had the pleasure to co-manage the company’s team and its pet companion robot project with Sot as Chief Technological Officer. During our cooperation, Sot was in charge for overseeing 16-20 employees in total, in three engineering departments including the hardware development, the software development, as well as the robotics & ai team, respectively. During our time at the company as colleagues I got to know Sot as a reliable, effective, and self-sufficient professional both in the capacity as a manager, an engineer, and a scholar, as well, with in-depth knowledge and skills in robotics, artificial intelligence, software and hardware development, AGILE development, as well as in related research. His managerial competences helped our company to discover, employ, cultivate, and utilize outstanding talents in a very effective way, while his personal sense of duty and purpose helped our company to reach its milestones with great results. As a start-up company operating in the uncertainty of the pandemic era in China, Sot show-cased great resourcefulness in overcoming industrial and financial challenges facing our company, which made him an essential member of our company. Thanks to Sot’s contributions, Pegasus AI successfully completed the development of the first interactive pet companion robot of the world, called Pawl, and successfully prepared it for mass production and market introduction. Based on the above I feel confident in recommending Sot both as a co-worker, an engineer, but especially as a professional leader for the development of robotics and ai products and services from 0 to 1.

I was introduced to SOT at a social gathering where we spoke about the technological advancement in china and played a game of pool. Fortunately, SOT went on to be my Employer a year later at his company Pegasus AI. He is a great leader, CEO, CTO and even more, a good person. One incredible gift he posses is his ability to create unanimity between multiple parties. To quote Martin Luther,
