Podcast: The Transition of Robots from the Factory into Society
Advancements in hardware and software are creating smarter robots that are interacting closely with humans in everyday spaces.
The advancements of robots as everyday tools are driving them out of the factory floor and into public spaces. Delivery bots, social bot companions, and automated household assistants are just some examples of how robots interact with people daily. In this episode of ASME TechCast, we speak with Tom Ryden, executive director of Mass Robotics, a nonprofit organization, to support research and development within the robotics industry. He highlights how technological innovations like advanced cloud computing, vision systems, and voice recognition software are creating smarter-social robots.
