Summary

Who’s at the desk next to me? What – a robot? The buzz: “They record our shows, cook our food, play our music, and even run our cars. We just don't see it because these robots don't have a face we can talk to or a butt we can kick. I know four things robots can do right now that will change our lives for the future, and all in a good way. The first is entertainment (done that), the second is grunt work in dangerous places (coming up), third is elderly care, and last but not least is telepresence shopping, tourism, and assistance” (Mark W. Tilden, robot physicist www.theguardian.com). How will robots change the workforce and our ability to earn a living in the future? We'll ask four thought leaders for their take on this: Scott Feldman, Independent Management Consultant; Stephen Reed, Co-Founder at Ai-BlockChain; Kerry Brown, VP Workforce Adoption at SAP; and Jonny Bourgeois, CTO at Ai-BlockChain.

next to you? Take a look. Look to your left. Look to your right. What a robot?

I have a quote from a gentleman who is named Mark W. Tilden, and he's a robot physicist.

I've never heard of the term the job description of a robot physicist.
