…methods are generally accepted, and the actions taken to stem the tide are passed down from one staff member to the next. Each temporary shutdown takes an undetermined amount of time, but for our purposes we will estimate 15 minutes each time. That is a downtime cost of $15,000, and if it were to happen once per week, it would be a cost of $780,000/year. It is estimated that robots are deployed for an average of 5 years. Over that 5-year span, the cost of one instance of downtime per week is $3,900,000. Now, to be fair, this number gets…

…of tomorrow. Multiple sectors begin to benefit from robotics STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education seeks to inspire the next generation of roboticists amid a global talent shortage. Manufacturing, which has been using robots for decades, has transformed into a knowledge-based industry. It is far different from the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks that people turned away from, just as they had left agriculture during the first Industrial Revolution. E-commerce and construction are other industries that face labor shortfalls, changing demands, and the need for supply chain efficiencies. In addition, pollution and global climate change are wide-scale problems requiring…

…field. Starting with the introduction of technology and a STEM focus in educational curricula across schools and universities, to offering researchers an opportunity to participate in international conferences and competitions, and finally, empowering us with jobs in this field. Women are an equal and productive part of this community. What excites you about the future of the robotics industry? Al Nuaimi: I am excited to watch the growing efficiency of robots and our reliance on robotics as our world becomes increasingly tech-focused. Robots will be part of our daily life and one of the core components of our future world.

…students with building an mBot Neo robot from Makeblock’s STEM education kit, which is designed to teach the fundamentals of robotics. They would then use their knowledge of Scratch or Python coding to program the robots driving controls, said Juni. With each project, students are presented with a real-world challenge to maneuver their robots through, emulating what a NASA astronaut exploring Mars or a deep-sea researcher mapping the ocean floor may encounter. At the end of the course, students will design and complete a master simulation challenge to present to the Juni community. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Juni on…

…midsize food-service businesses? Al-Beik: Across the board, the challenges stem from logistics highly dependent on human labor. Even at capacity, the output is limited — human workers can't compete with 80 digital orders coming through in a single hour. As a result, customers have less of a burden when making an order, but they take it on when they wait to pick up their orders. Today, with the labor shortage alone, the logistics are overwhelmed, and the customer experience inevitably plummets. Therefore, the biggest challenge is upgrading logistics to support a much more streamlined input and output retail system while…

…Robo Boston. That last event included an executive summit, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities, and the annual Robot Block Party open to the public. In STEM education, MassRobotics helped promote diversity and opportunity with the first cohort in its Jumpstart program. Female students in the Boston Public School system worked with companies such as the Toyota Research Institute and The MITRE Corp. and had paid internship opportunities. A second cohort has just begun, said Khalif Mitchell, STEM program manager at MassRobotics. Autodesk participated in a “Design, Build, Apply” workshop around robots in construction. MassRobotics also hosted informational events…
