kuka-webinar-october-2016-600x2502

We are all regularly presented with inventions and disruptive technology that prompt us to ask, are they fads or here to stay? Whether it was radio, micro-computers or even the internet, predicting which technology trends would become indispensable always made for fascinating discussion. In automotive manufacturing, an essential innovation under consideration right now is the growth of robotics and automation.

This webinar will explain why we are seen as a generation of “robotic-immigrants” but how our grandchildren will grow up as the first generation of “robotic-natives”. We will describe how robotics and automation will permeate through automotive manufacturing, and indeed, the lives of all of us, across the next 25 years.
