iRobot Head to Address ATExpo 2006

ROSEMONT, IL-Founded in 1990 by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, iRobot Corp. (Burlington, MA) designs behavior-based, intelligent robots that do everything from clean floors to disarm explosives. Powered by iRobot's proprietary AWARE Robot Intelligence Systems, the company's robots can navigate complex and dynamic real-world situations, from maneuvering around furniture to searching abandoned buildings.

On Wednesday, Sept. 27, iRobot Executive Vice President, Vice Admiral Joseph Dyer (USN Ret.), will discuss these and other successes during a free keynote address at Assembly Technology Expo 2006, in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, adjacent to Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Among other topics, Dyer will explain the many ways in which mobile robotics is being adopted in homes, on roads and on the battlefield. He will also take a look at technology and trends, and predict a future where mobile robotics touches all our lives.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
