TALKS
Matthew Chang | Autonomous Systems Expert
Robots used to be the stuff of science fiction. Soon, they’ll be your coworkers.
Tomorrow’s workforce will work hand in hand with robotics in nearly every industry sector. Leading this transition will be collaborative robots, aka co-bots, which are designed and manufactured to work safely alongside humans. Cobots boost manufacturing efficiency, flexibility, productivity, and quality, and can
ease physical stresses on their human counterparts, freeing up traditional workers to focus on the more important and enjoyable aspects of their jobs.
As a champion of the adoption of cobotics, Matthew Chang has personally led the engineering teams that have developed the largest cobotic systems in the world, across industries as diverse as manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. But he acknowledges the adjustment to this new way of working will
not be painless. Will the pain of adoption be offset by the increase in workforce satisfaction?
