Robotics are about to hit an inflection point regarding availability in the market. Collaborative robots (COBOTS) maybe a good entry point for integrating robotics into your workforce. We will share the iterative process of creating robots, sensor arrays and automated solutions within Duke Energy and NKU. We will bring several robots to facilitate the discussion. Topics to include, how to get started in robotics with specific examples, various sizes and types, etc. Additionally to include convergence to various diverse technologies teaming up to provide a total solution. Given I have personally designed and built these, we can also steer the discussion based on questions from the group.
