How the Talent Shortage Is Helping and Hindering the Field of Robotics

Modern robotics has existed for roughly a century, but innovation has risen sharply in the last decade. The rise has partly come out of necessity due to a talent shortage.

This guide demonstrates how the talent shortage is simultaneously helping and hindering the field of robotics.
