How robotic technology is re-forming society | John Santagate | TEDxTemecula
Robotic technology has been on a rapid evolution over the past several years. This evolution has resulted in robotic technology impacting our lives in ways in which we could have only imagined just a few short years ago. In this talk, we explore how robots are impacting society for the better while also acknowledging the risk of this technology if we don't approach robotics with a level or responsibility. Formerly an industry analyst and management consultant, John is credited with being the first major industry analyst to study, evangelize, and provide market research on the field of autonomous mobile robots in supply chain applications. Today he leads the robotics business unit at Körber Supply Chain North America, teaches a course on supply chain and logistics at the University of Massachusetts, serves on the board of advisors for several tech start-ups, and coaches youth basketball and youth football in support of his 3 young children. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
