Labor shortages are plaguing industries around the world. Nowhere is that more prevalent than in jobs that require repetitive, menial tasks in hazardous environments.
Advancements in robot durability, longevity and safety have made them an appealing answer to combat the shrinking labor force. Instead of humans working in dull, dirty and dangerous environments, what if robots supplant them in favor of more managerial tasks?
In this roundtable webinar, panelists will discuss the difficult environments where robots handle these cumbersome tasks.
