Robots Go Green - Sustainable futures

Climate change is transforming our planet for the worse, but can robots provide a sustainable solution? 3D printing in construction could save up to 70% of building materials, and a robot used for painting could save 30% of that paint thanks to being more accurate. From repairing our cities, to remaking marine habitats, host Fran Scott is joined by ABB’s Managing director of General Industry Robotics, Andrea Cassoni; Professor Robert Richardson from the University of Leeds; and Alban Mallet, CEO of XTREEE, to explore the ways robots are helping us to live more sustainably. Part of the ABB Decoded Series of podcasts, The Robot Podcast is a Fresh Air Production.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
