Gibbons Lectures 2018: Robotics in industry
Speaker: Mike Shatford, Managing Director, Design Energy Limited, Christchurch In New Zealand, small and medium enterprises and producers with smaller or mixed volumes of product are the prevalent industries. Traditionally, this group has not been the focus for industrial automation so, as a business offering robotic production solutions in New Zealand, Design Energy has a keen interest in technologies that are able to meet the demands of these users. Mike's talk aims to close the loop between academia and industry; reporting on successes – where, and how, robotics is serving our target market, and where there are gaps and opportunities for both the originators of new technology and the end-users it will serve.
