Megamix: The Robot Future

In this Season 4 finale of The Robot Podcast, we hear some of the previously unheard parts of our interviews with the incredible guests who’ve appeared across the series. Fran Scott looks back at our exploration of how we’re building a future with intelligent robots at the core – for a better tomorrow. Highlights include: Dr Sami Atiya, President of Robotics & Discrete Automation at ABB who’ll be talking about his hopes for the future of AI.  President and CEO of The Texas Medical Centre Bill McKeon who gives us his insights into how robotics and AI will make a difference when it comes to our healthcare.  There’s a virtual audio-tour of a mega-factory of the future with Marc Segura, President of ABB’s Robotics Division.  And Kakani Katija, a Bio Engineer at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute who reveals how remote robotics can help in capturing images in the deep ocean so we can study the ecosystem and sea life behaviour in order to monitor and preserve it. Part of the ABB Decoded Series, The Robot Podcast is a Fresh Air Production by Graham Seaman and Izzie Clarke.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
