Robotics Technologies in the Spotlight

Robotics has the potential to solve challenging problems in all areas of life and society- from medical care to food supply and energy. If well-designed and well-integrated, robots can help and assist humans to do the “impossible”. But how can robots help your business?

Industrial robots have the potential to increase operational efficiency, improve safety, and reduce CO2 impact. Given this potential, we have created a list featuring eight (8) innovative robotics technologies. All of these technologies have been proven and demonstrated in an operational environment.

Some of these technologies have been deployed by Shell, BP, Chevron… the list goes on.
