Søren Peter Johansen is Technology Manager at the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) He has state-of-the-art knowledge on the use of robotics and knowledge about the barriers for implementing robots in the industry. This is based on countless visits to production companies complemented with 20 years hands-on experience in concept-design, development, management and implementations of robotics- and automation-solutions world-wide, which have given him experience with several brands of robots, vision-systems, sensors, plc's, pneumatics, mechanics and pc-program development.
Søren Peter Johansen from DTI talks about implementing robotics solutions. He talks about how he got into robotics by starting to tinker with any electronics he could get his hands on. He worked in a mechanical workshop and added automation to the machines in the shop. As robots became more and more available, he then included them in his work.
Søren also discusses examples of successful human robot collaboration and how software and hardware both are essential elements of robot development.
We also get to hear about how he went to the Danish Technological Institute because he saw an opportunity to work with lots of interesting robots.
