Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the Innovate UK podcast! This episode we'll be delving into the depths of the robotics industry. We investigate the current tech we have access to, the challenges we face and what's hindering progress. We also get stuck into the commercial opportunities for the businesses attempting to make breakthroughs in solving these problems. Then we'll be looking towards the future to explore how we could be using the tech being developed today. Of course, we couldn't talk about robotics without addressing the infamous topic of debate, "will robots take our jobs?" Be sure to listen to let us know what you think below!
