Great webinar today from The Robot Report with leaders from Formant discussing AI in robotics: the pragmatic vs. the possible. We are starting to see the robotics industry place bets in AI by increasing funding and spend on machine learning capabilities. Two main areas where AI can make a difference in robotics: robot capabilities (task autonomy/orchestration) & data processing (training data /operations support/ data outside of robotics) Key takeaway - we are 3 to 5 years from deployment of generality robotics fleets aka humanoid robots. The advancement in AI, machine learning and big data allows for more autonomous use in robotics to reduce labor intensive workload and decrease costs to end users. Thank you Steve Crowe for hosting this great webinar and looking forward to the next one!
