The Advancement of Robotics in Abrasive Applications

In this 5th episode of Robotics for All Podcast by AV&R, Michael Muldoon host of our show, is joined by two great #3mers, Nathan Herbst and Scott Barnett. 3M has taken a lead role in promoting the advancement of Robotic Finishing by building several labs around the world to test all types of finishing applications.

In this episode we compare notes on the best ways to solve finishing problems, the wide variety of language that is used to describe these processes and the detective work required to find the best path to success. It was a fun conversation; these guys have seen it all and hopefully there are some good pieces of advice for everyone looking to adopt robots.
