Think you’ve got a handle on the low hanging fruit in retail & manufacturing applications?
To remain globally competitive, manufacturing and retail must be systemically robust — both online and in store. However this level of integration requires a multifunctional technology stack that is capable of everything from machine tending, kitting, receiving, sorting, storage and retrieval, packaging, inventory and store management, and last mile delivery. The confluence of deep learning, computer vision and robot learning is accelerating progress in robot manipulation, bringing applications such as object handling and service robotics within close reach. Ultimately, this is driving demand for robots that can learn to perform increasingly complex tasks alongside human workers and customers in hybrid environments. Yet several key technical and socio-economic challenges remain unsolved.
Join us on November 8 for the 2021 UofT Retail & Manufacturing Robotics Workshop — a one-day virtual symposium with members from across Canada’s automation ecosystem, from manufacturing to e-co Discover the cutting edge of AI robotics, discuss common challenges, and strategize with researchers and industry partners as we close the gap between shop floor reality and practical robot and data platforms in retail and manufacturing applications.
