Time: 2:45pm-4:30pm, Nov. 5 (Tue)

Venue: L3-RB, Level 3

The industry is in the midst of the industry 4.0 driven by many emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, big data, cloud computing, machine learning, 5G connectivity etc. Robotics is entering every traditional industry, from manufacturing. logistics to agriculture to retail, health care and driving towards increased productivity and effectiveness. Many companies are revising and rethinking their strategies to cement their futures in a world that is dictated by advanced robotics and aforementioned emerging technologies. This power panel of industry leaders and visionaries will present and discuss the real- world implications for how these emerging technologies drives the paradigm shift of the robotics industry and its business landscape. Some snapshot points to be discussed include:

  • What do you see as the most growing industry vertical markets? 
  • What is the long-term outlook for the autonomous mobile robot and autonomous mobile industrial robot in logistic and warehousing market and how big is the industry? 
  • What are the do’s and do not’s using Robot Operating System 2.0?Is it an industrial mainstream trend and a Must ?  
  • What are the challenges and hurdles you may encounter on Co-bot and dual arm robot?
  •  Why edge robotics? Why is real-time decision making important to modern factories and robotics
