Advancements in robotics technology in the form of software, sensors, microprocessors, micromechanics and microelectronics, coupled with the economics of volume production, now make it possible to develop wholly new, low-cost, highly functional robotic products and robotically enhance existing product lines, as well as automate complex tasks formerly handled by humans. As a result, individuals, businesses and governments across the globe are hard at work developing new robotic applications to meet critical needs in many areas such as medical care, the environment and defense, as well as less serious robotic devices that entertain and educate us. In this session attendees will learn how areas of the world differ in their approach to the new personal, service and mobile robotics industry, in terms of areas of focus, funding, as well as design and development approaches. The topic of careers in robotics will also be discussed.
