Robotics Pathways and Careers Speaker Series

Abstract

How do I decide what career to pursue? What options do I have? When you think "career" it can feel like a big commitment, but what if we could see work differently – as a temporary gift? Along with navigating career path decisions and giving a framework for life outside the University, Michka will highlight KUKA robotics work in automation for the last 120 years. The talk will include what makes KUKA a great company to join,  and a deep dive into the surgical robotics space where Michka spends most of his time.
