RoboBusiness reached out to Abishur to share some of his thoughts leading up to his session at RoboBusiness. Abishur will be speaking in the session Robotics and IoT Security Concerns, which will focus on the challenges of keeping robot controls and data secure against the threat of potential hackings or security breaches.
What got you interested in robotics and artificial intelligence, and how is it connected to what you’re now doing?
My work revolves around understanding how new technologies will transform world affairs and what this means for a business or government.
