20 robotics companies to showcase technologies at Dallas Cowboys stadium

by

More than 20 robotics and automation vendors will showcase hands-on demonstrations at large free-to-attend Waves of Innovation event at AT&T stadium, the home of the football team the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington on November 15

Despite the Dallas metro adding more than 10,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 10 months, the region still has more job vacancies than applicants.

“Historically low labor participation rates in our area means manufacturers are often unable to staff their shifts,” says Nick Armenta, regional manager of Olympus Controls, an engineering services company that specializes in the integration of motion control, machine vision, and robotic technologies.

In Texas, there is currently 0.8 unemployed persons per job opening, a gap that is especially pronounced in manufacturing. [Read more…] about 20 robotics companies to showcase technologies at Dallas Cowboys stadium

Robotics engineers work to ‘bee’ part of climate change solution

by

This summer’s weather extremes were stark reminders that climate change is not only real, it’s here.

Less visible to most of us than smoke-filled skies, water-logged roads, and life-threatening heat – but just as important – is the dramatic and ongoing decline of global bee populations.

Many crops rely on commercially managed honeybees, wild native bees, and other pollinators to reproduce. [Read more…] about Robotics engineers work to ‘bee’ part of climate change solution
