Tech 2025 did a special workshop at Design Manufacturing Expo 2017 (a conference produced by UBM that focused 3D printing, industrial robots, and medical technologies) on hacking industrial robots: “Hacking Industrial Robots in the IoT Factories of the Future: Are Companies Prepared for the Risks?” with guest speakers Marcello Poglian, Politiecnico Di Milano (Milan, Italy) and our very own Ed Maguire. We discuss the awesome (and not so awesome) moments at the event.
