Exploring Trends in Robotics & AI

MassRobotics invites you to share your valuable insights in our survey, "Exploring Trends in Robotics & AI." Your participation will help us identify trends and opportunities in key areas such as sensor fusion, AI development, motor control, safety, security, and power consumption. If you are involved in robotic development we asked that you complete this survey. It should take 6-8 minutes of your time. We assure you that your responses will be kept in strict confidence and used in aggregate form only. Thank you for your time and consideration.

All responses will be put into a drawing for a chance to win an autonomous lawnmower from Segway/Navimow - don't miss out on your chance to win!! Take the survey here.
