“You really need to develop a whole product solution—hardware, software, UI, interfaces, and process redesign—with a consideration for what problem you are really trying to solve.” —Aldo Zini
Getting large teams of robots to collaborate is the work of Dr Regis Vincent, who envisions applications that include mapping nuclear contamination.
What obstacles remain for robots to work alongside humans in industrial settings, and how far have we come in eliminating those challenges? Dr. Roland Menassa answers these and other questions in his presentation at the RoboBusiness summit November 2-3 in Boston.
John Reid, director of Product Technology and Innovation at Moline Technology Innovation Center, a part of John Deere’s Global Technology Innovation Network, discusses how his company’s technologies will help feed the world’s billions.

As part of the focus on robotics technology at the 2007 International CES, Robotics Trends will produce a conference program exploring the rapidly expanding consumer robotics market, as well as a Robotics TechZone at the Sands Expo and Convention Center which will feature the latest consumer robotics products and technologies.
“The 2007 International CES is the perfect place to showcase the latest and greatest products in the exciting and growing consumer robotics market,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president of conferences and events for the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®), the producer of the International CES. “For the past 40 years, CES has been the launch pad of hot technologies. We look forward to continuing this great legacy by showcasing cool new robotics products at CES’ Innovations Plus at the Sands.”
“We are delighted to once again work with the International CES to bring robotics to the world’s largest consumer technology event,” notes Dan Kara, president of Robotics Trends. “The newly emergent consumer robotics market offers ground floor opportunities for all members of the consumer electronics value chain – from electronics suppliers, developers and manufacturers, to retailers, resellers, OEMs and distributors. The inclusion of the Robotics TechZone within the International CES will bring this exciting, new market to a worldwide audience of consumer electronics industry leaders.”
