Smart robots bridge the gap in the manufacturing workforce In this episode of The Human Side of Engineering and Product Development, Andy welcomes Dr. Ariyan Kabir, Co-Founder, and CEO of GrayMatter Robotics. Ariyan combines available robot sensors and tools with their proprietary AI technologies to turn them into smart robotic assistants, a critical role given the increasing lack of skilled labor in manufacturing. Ariyan discusses the concept of robots as a service, which is essentially hiring robots to do the work instead of people, primarily due to the lack of skilled workers available. He digs into how COVID created general awareness of the need for automation and how he and his company help create a better quality of life for people. HUMANIZING MESSAGES ARIYAN: Robots let humans focus on higher-value work "With the new technologies coming in and creating solutions to allow, let's say robots, to take care of the tedious... tasks, what's that doing is creating the new opportunity for humans to focus on high-level, higher evaluated task, and creative decision-making." ARIYAN: People have a better quality of life by letting robots do the work "What has COVID done is really helped everyone understand and embrace the concept of automation and the need to realize the need for automation. And what has it done also is helped people to think about what am I doing with my life and how should I be contributing and how can I have a better quality of life and contribute in a meaningful way."
