How can robotics benefit the energy industry? Find out in this episode of The Robotics Engineering Experience, in which Business Development Manager Travis Schneider and Anna Siefken, Executive Director of the Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation at Carnegie Mellon University, discuss the future of energy and robotics.  

During the interview, Travis and Anna discuss disruptions to the energy industry due to COVID-19 and other environmental factors. They also discuss the challenges present in the energy industry today, including rising labor costs and inflation. Finally, the two also discuss common fears workers have about losing their jobs to robots, and how, instead, robots can become an essential component of an energy worker's toolbox.  

In Episode 5 of The Robotics Engineering Experience, Travis Schneider and Allen Bancroft, Director of Hardware Engineering at RE2, discuss all things robotic hardware, including the motors, gearboxes, sensors, and grippers that go into building a robot.  Allen and Travis also discuss current and future applications for robots, typical robot configurations, and how the field of robotics is constantly evolving.  Allen discusses the changes he's seen during his 32-year career in robotics, and gives advice to young roboticists hoping to build their career in the industry.  

In Episode 2 of The Robotics Engineering Experience, Business Development Manager Travis Schneider interviews RE2's President and CEO Jorgen Pedersen about the history of RE2, the technology behind our human-like robotic arms, and the company’s future capabilities. In this episode, Jorgen shares what inspires him, what drew him to the field of engineering, and what drives him as a robotics entrepreneur.  Jorgen also discusses the history of RE2, the technology behind RE2's human-like robotic arms, and the company’s future capabilities. Finally, the two discuss RE2's focus on developing human-like, mobile robotic systems that can operate outdoors in unstructured environments, and how this approach differs from traditional robots typically found on the factory floor.
