Living and Working Side by Side with Robots

In this episode, guest host Andreas Birch and Stewart Miller explore robotics across different sectors, and how they will create better workplaces – beyond just manufacturing and logistics. Stewart is CEO of The National Robotarium in Scotland, and brings experience from a long career in the Defense & Aerospace industry, where he has always been interested in technology.

He shares the center’s mission and vision, and gives an overview of the state of robotics in the UK – and why the deployment there has been surprisingly lagging behind.

Stewart also explains why he believes that we will be working and living side by side with robots in the next 3-10 years, as robots are extending their reach beyond traditional areas like manufacturing and logistics, making significant inroads into fields such as agriculture, construction, and healthcare.

Finally, he taps into his many years of experience and shares concrete advice for those looking to make a career in robotics.
