Episode 45 of The Robot Report Podcast recaps the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards, which were announced earlier by publication Robotics Business Review. The RBR50 awards honor technology, business, and market innovations, as well as the robotics and automation organizations worldwide that were responsible for them.
In this session, Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman are joined by Dan Kara, VP of the Robotics Group at WTWH Media, to discuss how the RBR50 has evolved over the years, how the 50 winners were selected, and the many forms of innovation. They each also share three of our their favorite winners, breaking down the innovations and what they mean for each respective company and the market(s) they operate in.
