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.

Robots Go Green - Sustainable futures

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.

Megamix: The Robot Future

It’s twice the size of India and covers 6.5 million square kilometers yet faces deforestation at a rate of five football pitches every minute! So what new technologies can be employed to help stem the decline of this important part of the planet?

In this episode of The Robot Podcast from ABB, Fran Scott finds out how robotic technology is being piloted in the Peruvian rainforest to help with the replanting of trees.

We hear from CEO of Jungle KeepersMohsin Kazmi, Global Product Marketing Specialist at RobotStudio Cloud Kelly Vigier and Dr Erasmus Zu Ermgassen, Researcher from the University of Louvain.

Automating The Amazon

Robots are perfect for those dull, dangerous and dirty tasks, this frees us up to concentrate on the jobs humans are best at but how are they able to cope at the extremes?

In this episode of The Robot Podcast from ABB Fran Scott finds out about the robotic technology that’s doing its work in harsh and difficult environments so we don’t have to.

We hear from Susanne Timsjo, Marketing & Sales Manager at ABB, Robert Kiefer, Robot Specialist from engineering and steel production company Thyssen- Krupp.  Faruk Osmanbasic, Product Manager of Schindler, the elevator/lift corporation and Kakani Katija, a bio-engineer at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.
