SUMMARY:Canada’s Robotics Moment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in depth discussion on Canada’s place amidst global trends and opportunities in the robotics market.\nCanada has a unique opportunity to leverage its international reputation in AI (artificial intelligence) to tap into the fast-growing commercial robotics market. Canada invested early and wisely in AI\, culminating in the recent explosion in investment\, commercial activity and global recognition. \nRobotics is the next frontier for innovation and investment. The Canadarm delivered international profile for executing high-stakes feats of robotic ingenuity. That success has been repeated in field after field without similar recognition. It’s time to bring thought leaders and stakeholders together to shape a comprehensive national robotics strategy. \nLed by Andra Keay\, Managing Director\, Silicon Valley Robotics\, speakers will explore the collaborations\, supports and partnerships needed to establish Canada as a global player in the commercial robotics market. A panel from industry\, government and academia will discuss Canada’s strengths and how to capitalize on them to build a vibrant robotics industry. Speakers include: \nAndra Keay\, Managing Director\, Silicon Valley Robotics\nDr. Molly Schoichet\, OC\, OOnt\, Chief Scientist\, Ontario\nHallie Siegel\, Innovation Strategist\nDr. Farzad Rayegani\, Dean of Applied Technology\, Humber College\nDr. William Melek\, Director of Mechatronics Engineering\, University of Waterloo \nDay & Time: Thursday\, February 8\, 2018\n2:30 p.m. ‐ 5:30 p.m. \nLocation: Autodesk Technology Centre\n661 University Avenue\, Suite 100\, MaRS Discovery District \nContact: Maryam Davoudpour \nOrganizer: WIE IEEE Toronto\, Instrumentation-Measurement/Robotics-Automation \nRVSP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/canadas-robotics-moment-tickets-42391575343?aff=AIPromo \nAgenda: \n2:30 pm.
