Note: Video to be updated after Covid-19 restrictions.

The factory robot assistant is a work-in-progress which demonstrates how a robotic workforce within an organisation can be managed through a conversational interface. It is also an example of iRPA (Intelligent Robotic Process Automation), where the robotic workforce can be automatically deployed based on current and ideal production levels. The robot was 3-D printed in-house by Finlay Mackenzie, a previous intern at the Innovation Labs. Prior to the Covid-19 restrictions, I refitted the bot with new electronics in order for it to be controlled through the internet.
