Every year over 1000 people from the ABB integrator network attend one of our seminars. This is a tradition dating back 15 years. The events are a fantastic mixture of business and pleasure. Industry updates, product & application training, knowledge exchange, exhibition of everything new & great opportunities to network with peers – they are all part of the successful mix.
Many who attend liken the events to a “family reunion”. Brant von ‘t Hof from AWL-Techniek comments “You have to be there. You have to meet the people”.
And of course there are parties. Thomas Rosell of Front Automation has the final word “The party is the most important thing”
Ames Research Center, MIT and Johnson Space Center have two new robotics projects aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Robonaut 2, a two-armed humanoid robot with astronaut-like dexterity, is currently undergoing onboard testing. The second is the SPHERES satellite, which recently got a smartphone upgrade that gives it eyes, ears and a sensor array. These robots could assume mundane, sometimes dangerous tasks: monitoring radiation, filter change-outs, some extravehicular activities
Chris The Carpenter is giving his wife a ride, Jaimie’s robot is now bigger than him, MarkusB keeps launching rockets, Stoerpeak has made a cheap robot arm that can copy moves, and LMR is written in sweets by mogul’s m&m sorter #3. All this in what will be the last version of the weekly version of The Latest in Hobby Robotics. Hosted by Frits Lyneborg.

In this video, Chris asks Tony Dyson about what advice he would give to people aspiring to pursue a career in robotics. If you’re among them, Tony poses this question in return: Are you going to school for it, or is it a hobby? Either way, robotics is still a blooming field ripe for dreamers and pioneers, so there’s definitely room for people to follow their ambitions regardless of experience.
Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. Vehicles developed by KMel Robotics. Special thanks to Professor Daniel Lee for his support.
