Samantha breaks down the various automation applications, including robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and software development. The episode features an inside look into Moffett Automation, an Irish company founded and directed by Sam Moffett. The company has created an unprecedented, four-directional fully automated pallet shuttle that makes warehousing much more efficient. But the latest trends in automation have also brought concern.
