Abstract
The industrial robot industry has experienced steady growth for the last four decades. Certain technologies like machine vision have enabled that growth. Today, there are multiple enabling technologies that are allowing even faster robotics growth. The enabling technologies will be covered including sensing, new robotic mechanical form factors, and artificial intelligence. These key technologies will be described in depth and how they are enabling faster robotics growth. The exciting impact these enabling technologies will have on robotics going well beyond the factory floor will be discussed. The speaker will also address technologies that not only expand robots to new applications but lower the total life cycle costs of robots.
