"Robotics Guru Identifies Top Industries for Automation"

Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation, predicts that agriculture, food processing, and healthcare are the next industries ripe for automation. Labor shortages are driving the growth of automation in many industries. The agriculture industry is already testing or using various automated technologies to make operations more efficient and safer. Food processing is another industry where automation could assist in doing dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. Automation in healthcare could be viable in a variety of cases, from transportation of goods and personal medications to cleaning and disinfecting tools.
