A Robotic Thumbs Up: Our Chat With Automation Evangelist Will Healy

Teradyne's Will Healy says AI-driven vision and grasping advances just made decades-old robotics problems like bin picking finally commercially viable.

• US lags in robot adoption: Will Healy cites IFR data showing over half of global robot deployments in the last five years were in Asia, leaving the U.S. behind.
• Workforce shrinkage drives automation: Healy argues population trends in the U.S., Europe, and China mean there won't be more workers, making robotics necessary to sustain output.
