The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) has announced its keynote speakers for its automation trade show Automate, which will be held May 22-25 in Detroit.

This year’s featured speakers include Tom Izzo, Michigan State University basketball coach; Gregory Robinson, former director, NASA James Webb Space Telescope project; Barbara Humpton, president/CEO, Siemens Corp. USA; Daniela Rus, professor of electrical engineering and computer science and director of the computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory (CSAIL), MIT; Jan Diekmann, technical account manager, Ericsson.

“This is one of the strongest lineups of keynote speakers we’ve had at Automate,” said Jeff Burnstein, president of A3. “We're starting with how to lead and develop people–the most important factor in the success of any automation system. Then, we're moving on to look at how technologies like digitization, machine learning, robotics, and 5G are positively transforming businesses and the world.”
