Robotic innovations have sparked a transformative wave in the manufacturing industry, fundamentally changing the way products are made. By integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation, robots are revolutionizing production, from assembly to quality control, and logistics. With the ability to work around the clock, robots have significantly accelerated production cycles and time-to-market. Robotic innovations are also leading to the accelerated adoption of 3D printing and collaborative robots, ushering in a future of intelligent, efficient, and agile manufacturing systems.
With multiple robotics courses now being offered and a new robotics lab slated to open this year, Michigan Technological University's College of Computing is introducing Balto the robot dog to the campus community.
