Unix50 - Cloud Robotics for the Future Industrial Internet

Thierry Klein, Head of the Enterprise and Industrial Automation Lab, at Nokia Bell Labs shared our vision of cloud robotics in the #5G era - intelligent cloud-based coordination of a heterogeneous set of robots working with humans.

We commemorated Unix’s anniversary with the Unix50 event, a two-day celebration that reflected on Unix’s past and explored the future of computing. Speakers and panelists included many of the original team that built Unix and designed the C programming language, as well as luminaries in the fields of computing and robotics. The event also featured a gallery of Unix artifacts, a coding challenge that required students to program robots to navigate the industrial spaces of the future, and numerous other activities drawing on Unix’s rich and colorful history at Bell Labs.
