Jim Lawton, VP and GM of Robotics Automation at Zebra Technologies, met the founder of Roomba, Rodney Brooks, at MIT nearly three decades ago. It inspired a lifetime passion for robots that help humans. Since then, he has influenced generations of robotic automation technology at companies from Rethink Robotics to Zebra Technologies. This is a fascinating discussion that will make you reconsider what robots can do and why humans shouldn't feel threatened by them. Listen and learn...How Jim cultivated a passion for robots... and why that makes him "the cool dad" How innovation in robotic technology is helping AMRs, autonomous mobile robots, perform more human-like tasks with less trainingWhich "dirty, dull, dangerous" tasks are the best candidates for robotic automation How new training techniques are reducing the time required to train a robot from 300 hours to a fraction of that which "democratizes automation" What's required to keep humans safe from robotsHow supplementing humans with robots for a task like picking items from warehouse shelves using machine vision saves 12-15 miles of walking per day while increasing accuracyHow techniques like SLAM and machine learning are making it easier to program robots to do more complex tasks more accurately with zero or minimal codingWhich new careers will be created by industrial robots... and which will be eliminatedTwo quick ways to know if a factory using robots and humans is safe Why Jim's passion is using robots to help people be their best selvesReferences in this episode:The Zebra blogTiernan Ray discusses bot sentience on AI and the Future of WorkIs Google's LaMDA sentient?Machines will out-perform humans in all tasks within 45 years... which is a good thing for us

According to well-respected robotics and automation executive, Jim Lawton, the answer is yes! Zebra has the ability to deliver “automation for all” businesses, regardless of size or industry. In this 15-minute podcast interview, Jim shares his thoughts on: Zebra's pioneering innovation in the automation space. The evolution of robotics automation in the last five years and where he thinks the technology is heading. Why it's important to make automation solutions accessible to businesses of all sizes in all industries as quickly as possible and how Zebra hopes to propel collaborative robotics and software automation strategy into the mainstream. How the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the adoption of collaborative robotics and software automation solutions, particularly among supply chain organizations. The May 1977 movie that inspired him to get into robotics. The one daily practice that he has found to be most rewarding (besides building robots).

While traditional robots were used to replace labor, the robots of the future are able to improve the agility of the supply chain through sensing and enabling new capabilities. In this session Lora Cecere, Founder of Supply Chain Insights, interviews James Lawton, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Rethink Robotics, to understand the latest trends in robotics and the future of robotics in Supply Chain 2030. Jim will be presenting his vision at the Supply Chain Insights...
Even though they've become a necessary part of society's progress and have made life much easier, robots are a lot of work. They require teams of programmers in order to perform the most basic tasks, and every worker on the line needs to learn the safe way to interact with them. Yet, they were all we had. Rethink Robotics set out to find a better way to integrate these disruptive machines into manufacturing. The solution was Baxter — a friendly robot that works alongside people rather than replacing them. It doesn't require a bunch of programmers to get started. You simply grab the arm, walk it through the desired action, and let it get to work. Once you show it how to do something, it can do it over and over again. And, by design, Baxter is completely safe to be around. In this episode, we chat with Jim Lawton, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Rethink Robotics. Hear how these collaborative robots are so comfortable to work with that co-workers dress them up and take photos with them, and how the company is working towards a future where robots are accessible to everyone — from factories to classrooms and even your living room.
Collaborative robotics are transforming the manufacturing shop floor and ushering in a new era in factory automation. Join us as Jim Lawton, Chief Product and Marketing Officer for Rethink Robotics shares how they’ve brought technologies like compliant motion control, embedded vision and advanced AI together; removing today’s industrial bots from the cage and placing them directly on the line to work interactively with people. Flexibility and versatility have been redefined so listen-in to learn how robots Baxter and Sawyer are bringing this revolution to a variety of manufacturers, large and small.
