Not only has COVID-19 pandemic raised awareness of the value that robots can provide, but it has also highlighted the limitations of today’s robotics systems, as well as the challenges that must be overcome before robots are deployed in large numbers. Thankfully, researchers are devising ways to make robots more perceptive and dexterous, and new technologies are being developed that allow robots to sense the world in ways that are far beyond human capabilities.
MassRobotics and the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative have brought together a world-class team of robotics researchers and industry veterans for the RoboBusiness Direct session on November 5 at 2PM ET.
The session will include a series of rapid-fire presentations and demonstrations from multiple speakers, designed to give attendees a peek into a variety of areas of robotics research, ranging across the greater robotics landscape, from autonomous vehicles to autonomous surgery and everything in between.
