Mouser Electronics and celebrity engineer Grant Imahara released the second video for Generation Robot series, part of Mouser’s Empowering Innovation Together program, according to Business Wire.
The new video includes Imahara as he travels to Augsburg, Germany to visit the KUKA Development and Technology Center, a place that designs robots to work in environments ranging from docks to doctors’ offices.
“Robots are undoubtedly a major part of our future, but exactly how we work with them — and alongside them — is still relatively uncertain,” said Glenn Smith, President and CEO of Mouser Electronics. “With the Generation Robot series, Mouser and Grant Imahara look to highlight the top engineering minds that are working to answer these questions.”
As robots continue to emerge into the public eye, many people have concerns and misconceptions about these machines. The video explores topics such as the benefits of humans and robots collaborating, and the difference of robot function between collaborative robots and traditional industrial robots.
“This series looks beyond the basic question of ‘can we build a better robot?’ to the real question: whether we should. And if we do, how does that change our role in the world?” said Imahara.
