On Thursday, February 25th, 2021 Episode Ten of the BILT Academy Podcast went live.
Our Tenth episode has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondent David. This is the first of a two-part podcast series on Robotics. This month’s part one has David interviewing two industry experts about the future of robotics.
A quick soundbite of what is ahead in this episode
This month we kick off a series of podcasts where robotics take center stage. This episode focuses on the future of robotics, with the future being us, the next generation of the building industry. We invited a senior lecturer for robotics and a student graduating on this topic to give some insights on how robotics is currently taught and studied. As well as asking them to share their predictions of how the increasing demand for automation will change the curriculum of architects and engineers of the future.
