“The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.” – Bill Gates Robots are currently making a splash in many industries. The mounting research into automated machines shows

With how much time people spend commuting and traveling in vehicles, it’s exciting to think about the time the world can save when humans are transported by self-driving vehicles. However, there are serious challenges ahead to pave the way for this advancing technology, and the speed of adaptation may be limited by factors beyond autonomous

Many emerging technologies have reached a bit of a standstill in terms of getting things out of the lab and into the real world. Technologies like AI, AR/VR, Internet of Things (IoT), and fully self-driving vehicles simply aren’t able to provide the experiences that consumers and businesses want without a new way of computing. Enter

There’s risk in not innovating. When faced with the destructive potential of technological change – including competitors, new entrants, globalization, substitute products, generational shifts, and more – established companies must continue to innovate in order to maintain their competitive advantage.

While these companies accomplished some very great things during their lifetime, the sad fact is that they will likely be remembered most

“Cobots” is the term used to describe a new wave of collaborative robots. There are many reasons why it’s the right time for the rise of cobots: Relevant technological advancements Faster computer processing speeds allow for heightened robotic “thinking skills” and more responsive movement. These skills are critical developments that allow robots and humans to
