Cows hooked up to an automated milking machineI would like to thank Ann Cockrell for leading our discussion of the impact of automation this morning. She introduced us to automation in the dairy industry and to agricultural automation more generally including the shift in jobs that it has brought with it. You can find resources for further reading on automation in this area as well as in manufacturing on the Articles and Blogs page.

 

Thank you, Bob

I would like to thank Bob Winstead for a great job leading our discussion of Asimov’s three laws of robotics and the complications with trying to implement them in the real world.

You can find several resources on this topic on the web, but I’ll include only one here. If you would like something to read to follow up on this morning’s discussion, you can try this for starters.
