Automation is vital to the future of Canadian manufacturing

By Joe Thompson

July 18, 2024 The manufacturing landscape continually evolves to become what is necessary for the time. Industrial revolutions will do that. They push what is currently in place out of the way.Steam made way for electricity, analog was eliminated by digital, and manual operations are being automated. There’s even a word for this type of industrial revolution: progress.At the recent Automate 2024 tradeshow in Chicago, OTTO Motors and Samuel Automation showed the world what Canadian companies bring to the automation table.It’s actually a testament to […]

Robots can’t replace human intelligence, Amazon lead says

Amazon Robots Spotted Waiting to Cross Busy NYC Street Beloved Aussie cartoon Bluey provides an important message about the morals of robotics and its impact on humanity, according to one of the industry’s leading minds.

Mikell Taylor, Amazon Robotics’ principal tech program manager, says the machines we see in science fiction films are a long way from the autonomous creations that are found in workplaces around the world.

She told news.com.au the lifelike robots of the silver screen were an exploration of our psyche and have in some ways shown engineers “what not to do” – instead of laying a blueprint […]

How AI And Robot Job Displacements Could Lead Us Down The Rode Of Universal Basic Income And Loss Of Identity

In today’s evolving workplace landscape, AI and robotics are already automating tasks across almost For some, the ascendancy of artificial intelligence and robotics instills the fear that these sophisticated and emerging technologies will one day ultimately replace human workers.

In today’s evolving workplace landscape, AI and robotics are already automating tasks across almost all sectors, including manufacturing, data analysis, customer service and administration. As it stands, repetitive and routine tasks are the most susceptible to automation.

While AI and robotics will undoubtedly change the nature of work, it’s unlikely that these technologies will eradicate the existence of all jobs. The focus […]

Johns Hopkins AITC announces awardees of third funding round

Johns Hopkins Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratory for Aging Research , or JH AITC, has announced the recipients of its third round of grant funding. Totaling just over $1.5 million, this round supports the collaboratory’s mission by funding the development of artificial intelligence technologies to improve the health and independence of older adults.

This round, the JH AITC has invested in research that leverages AI to support healthy aging and mitigate the effects of dementia. Pilots including Hopkins researchers are: AI Enhanced Scheduling for a Neighborhood Model of Affordable Quality Home Care (Kimia Ghobadi, Johns Hopkins University, and Dew-Anne Langcaon, […]

Are Robots Rewriting The Rules Of Construction?

Are Robots Rewriting The Rules Of Construction?

The adoption of new technologies like automation and robotics is necessary to enhance the safety of construction worksites

Construction is inherently a risky business. Complex projects often involve half-built structures, heavy machinery, fluctuating weather conditions, and the coordination of large work crews, making the element of risk unavoidable. While many occupations have become less risky, construction work has become more dangerous. Between 2011 and 2019, construction worker deaths increased by 41%, with the trend continuing upward.

Companies in a fast-paced global construction industry see that a business-as-usual approach could be more effective. Ensuring safety on construction sites requires a […]

Nostalgia For Manufacturing Jobs Is Misplaced

Nostalgia For Manufacturing Jobs Is Misplaced

The assembly line for the 1940 Ford two door sedan, Detroit, Michigan, 1940. (Photo by Underwood President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are competing to convince voters that they alone can protect manufacturing jobs, promising to use tariffs , “ Buy American ” rules, and subsidies to get the job done. Their supporters praise their efforts, convinced that the manufacturing jobs once common in the 1950s and 60s are vital to U.S. prosperity. This nostalgia is misplaced. We should not mourn the decline of manufacturing employment that has released millions of people from dull, uninteresting work.

That may […]
