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.

Robots Working at the Extremes

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.
