Whoever thought a world like “The Jetsons†would actually be our reality? Flying cars, programmed maids, and futuristic communities… might be the direction we are headed in. Before our very eyes, our future is transforming through science and technology. The robotics market is fueled by a strong demand from manufacturing companies, the health care field, automotive industry, and even customer service sectors. According to the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), robotic sales have risen to its fastest start ever in 2014. The IFR Statistical Department also expects, “that between 2014 and 2016 worldwide robot sales will increase by about 6% on average per year [and] in 2016, the annual supply of industrial robots will reach more than 190,000 units."
Tech in Motion Silicon Valley is excited to host its first Robotics event with some of the hottest Robots in the market right now. From educational purposes, crime fighting, to the medical field, and personal assistants; we will be presenting all areas of robotics that are making a difference and/or improving our lives. We welcome everyone to take a deeper look into this “innovative new world†we are headed into and come explore revolutionary technology. This is going to be an educational, captivating, and interactive event that will bring to light the, “Rise of the Robots.â€
Companies:
Knightscope, develops technology that will predict and prevent crime with an innovative combination of large-scale robotics, predictive analytics and social engagement. The Knightscope K5 Autonomous Data Machine utilizes a combination of autonomous technology, robotics and predictive analytics to provide a commanding but friendly physical presence while gathering important real-time on-site data with its numerous sensors. Data collected through these sensors is processed through the K5's predictive analytics engine, combined with existing business, government and crowdsourced social data sets, and subsequently assigned an alert level that determines when the community and the authorities should be notified of a concern. If an alert is pushed, the K5 machine will turn on all of its sensors to not only allow the entire community to review the data, but to contribute important real-time information.
Savioke (pronounced "savvy oak") is creating autonomous robot helpers for the services industry. Our first product, SaviOne (AKA "the Botlr"), is a delivery robot for hotels that brings amenities like toothbrushes, towels and cell phone chargers to guest rooms autonomously. We are passionate about delivering easy-to-use yet sophisticated robots that can help people. We aim to improve the lives of people by developing and deploying robotic technology in human environments - the places people live and work.
Steve Cousins is passionate about building and deploying robotic technology to help people. Before founding Savioke, he was the President and CEO of Willow Garage, where he oversaw the creation of the robot operating system (ROS), the PR2 robot, and the open source TurtleBot. In the last three years of his tenure there, Willow Garage spun off 8 companies. Steve is an active participant in the Robots for Humanity project. He has been a senior manager at IBM's Almaden Research Center, and a member of the senior staff at Xerox PARC. He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University, BS and MS degrees in computer science from Washington University, and earned a micro-MBA while at IBM. Steve serves on the boards of the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), the Open Perception Foundation, and Silicon Valley Robotics.
Aldebaran Robotics, founded in 2005 by Bruno Maisonnier is established in France, the United States, China and Japan. It designs, produces, and commercializes humanoid robots with the aim of contributing to the well-being of humans. The flagship robot NAO (pronounced NOW) is an autonomous, and fully programmable humanoid, and is the most widely used humanoid robot for academic and research purposes worldwide. In the U.S. NAO predominantly used as a K-12 STEM Education platform in schools across the country, that’s inspiring excitement and interest in STEM among minorities, young women and students of all levels of education.
We would like to thank our gracious sponsors Workbridge Associates, and Jobspring Partners for sponsoring this month’s event.
