An Automated Future Awaits

‘The Jetsons’ was a futuristic sitcom first aired on television over 50 years ago. For many, it was a childhood favourite, with talking robots, flying cars, quirky inventions and awesome gadgets. This fictitious world is on the brink of becoming a reality. Much is already in the works. Smart home technologies are making domestic life blissful, with bots that can help with daily chores or smart kitchens that prepare hot cups of coffee and remind you when you are out of groceries. And it doesn’t stop at home. More automation across sectors will lead to growing businesses and thriving economies.

Advances in automation have the potential to completely reshape the way we live and work. When the future looks increasingly automated, the present calls for the brightest minds in engineering to come forth and work towards building a better future. For those who like a good challenge and dream of making a change, this could be the field to get into.

What is automation?
