This exclusive video features Imahara leading a lively panel discussing the frontiers of robotics with a focus on how they are causing us to rethink the way we live and work.

Imahara is joined by the following panelists:

The Generation Robot series is sponsored by Mouser’s valued suppliers Analog Devices, Intel, Microchip Technology and Molex.

“The 2018 EIT series from Mouser has been one of the most interesting projects of my career,” stated Imahara. “I’ve been able to share my love of robotics and really highlight the innovations that prove we are definitely living in ‘Generation Robot’ — where humans and robots coexist on all levels of life and work. Seeing what comes next will be truly mind blowing.”

The ECIA Executive Conference is the only conference where senior management teams from the electronics industry's leading companies, representing the entire supply chain, gather to understand and address cross-enterprise challenges, according to Mouser.
