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.
