Event recap: What are robots capable of?

Last week, Hayden talked all things automation with robotics experts Ayanna Howard, dean of Ohio State University's College of Engineering (and former NASA roboticist), and Clara Vu, cofounder and CTO of VEO Robotics. ICYMI: Below is the event replay, and even further below are some written takeaways. Where robots excel: repetition, strength, speed, and precision. Vu said this is why most commercially successful robots are focused on industrial applications, like agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. "When you talk to people who spend their lives trying to make robots do stuff, they really tend to come away with a deep appreciation for how amazing people are--and how far we are from understanding how to make machines do what we do," Vu said.
