Mouser Electronics Inc. is teaming up for the fourth consecutive year with celebrity engineer Grant Imahara for the latest edition of their popular Empowering Innovation Together program, the Generation Robot video series.
The exciting new series features five videos filmed in locations around the world, highlighting the people, companies and machines that are changing how we view and interact with robots. The series will showcase everything from robotics theory to
real-world uses of robots that seem like science fiction to how we will navigate an equal human/robot world. The 2018 series is once again supported by Mouser’s valued suppliers Analog Devices, Intel, Microchip Technology and Molex.
In the first Generation Robot video, Imahara visits the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech to meet with executive director Dr. Magnus Egerstedt. Together, they explore the basics of what constitutes a robot, the myths and misconceptions of robotics and Egerstedt’s greatest hopes and fears for the advancement of robot technology.
The Generation Robot series will take viewers to locations in the U.S., Germany, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, examining the entire spectrum of robotics technology, including the challenge of shifting from a purely technological impact to one that has social and moral implications. Viewers will gain new insights and a better understanding of what “Generation Robot” means: We are living in the robots’ world just as much as they are in ours.
Since 2015, the Empowering Innovation Together program has been one of the most visible and recognized marketing programs in the electronic component industry, featuring projects ranging from bringing superhero technology to life to the amazing benefits of technologies that are Shaping Smarter Cities. For 2018, Mouser’s goal is to reach even more innovators around the globe with the Empowering Innovation Together program through the focus of how robots impact humanity.
