Mr . Tony Bailey from Rethink Robotics\, who is responsible for the Research and Educational sectors of Rethink Robotics\, has graciously agreed to ins pire us by being with us through remote presence and talk briefly about Re think Robotics for about 15 minutes.\n\nRethink Robotics s a great Robotic s technological and inspiring firm\, which provides a variety of industria l Collaborative Robots aka "Cobots" solutions(Sawyer\, Baxter\, Intera\, R OS based solutions and much more). Collaborative Robots are in the process of changing the automation industry in USA and all around the world\, to foster better productivity even in high labor cost based country like USA. Tesla automated manufacturing is one such example of involvement of such industrial Cobots.\n\nWe will start the session with Mr. Bailey at shart 7 pm EST today. Mr. Bailey will inspire us with his gracious remote presence and will briefly present about Rethink Robotics\, share the real experien ce around building Rethink Robotics infrastructures\, illustrate the advan cements made by Rethink Robotics\, challenges and aspirations. There may b e a brief Q&A session\, but we will be mindful of Mr. Bailey also being a father of two active kids.\n\nAfter the video chat\, Mahesh will provide a brief high level technical architecture\, positive aspects and inspiratio ns of Rethink Robotics. This design - with better user friendly configurat ion of cobots and provides using Intera software Gui interface environment . Intera allows additional scripting that can integrate and into multiple industrial backend systems and manufacturing PLCs - that is going to widel y impact the phase and productivity of industrial automation. We will then check for any interesting video updates from Rethink Robotics.\n\nWe will l finish it up with members "show and tell" if any.\n\nSpeaker information :\n\nMr. Tony Bailey from Rethink Robotics remote chat.
