普拉薩德-阿凱拉博士，Drishti董事會的創始人和主席，正在創造他的第三個大規模的市場類別，使用技術來擴展人類的能力。在20世紀90年代，普拉薩德領導通用汽車公司的團隊建造了世界上第一個協作機器人（"cobots"，預計到2025年將成為一個120億美元的市場）。在21世紀初，作為社交網路先驅Spoke的聯合創始人，他設想並幫助建立了第一個大規模的社交圖譜--這個類別現在價值數萬億美元。今天，在Drishti，他正在努力將人工智慧的認知與人類在工廠中的靈活性相結合，形成人工智慧驅動的生產。普拉薩德在加州山景城辦公。
One of the most bizarre years of my lifetime is finally coming to a close. At Drishti, we saw some of our highest highs yet: securing our Series B funding round, announcing our first public customers, receiving recognitions from NVIDIA and Forbes and hiring the best and brightest minds are a few of the milestones that made 2020 unforgettable.
But the world outside of Drishti ranged from abnormal to tragic. The coronavirus pandemic fundamentally changed the world forever, and the lives lost to COVID-19 can never be replaced. Global civil and political chaos and a U.S. government administration change cap months of economic and policy uncertainty. The manufacturing sector was roiled by shutdowns and labor churn like no other time even as the PMI crashed to 41.5 before soaring to 57.5 most recently. With a vaccine imminent, manufacturers are finally beginning to see normalcy on the horizon.
But what will define “normal” for manufacturing in 2021? In the coming weeks, I’ll be posting a three-part blog series that sheds light on what we can look forward to in 2021 and beyond in a post-COVID-19 world.
We’re all ready to turn the page on 2020. Together, let’s eagerly look to a bright future for the manufacturing sector, the United States and the global community.
