Ryan Gariepy, CTO of Clearpath Robotics talks about the future of robotics, automation and space

Ryan Gariepy is the CTO and founder of Clearpath Robotics (2009). He is also on the board of the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), the governing body for ROS, since its inception in 2012. He's also been involved in numerous Canadian and international robotics advisory roles and led Clearpath to be the first robotics company to sign the pledge to not make killer robots. Clearpath is building robots to automate materials handling which is today a job function that can't hire fast enough. But, over time, a huge number of jobs will become redundant and that will be very disruptive if we don't start thinking about that future soon.
