Background

About Sami Atiya

I believe innovation is key to improving our standard of living and progressing society. I am committed to advancing technology that saves lives, protects food supplies, secures logistics and provides safe transport. At ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation, we are driven by the belief that every business can benefit from robotics, automation and AI to become leaner and cleaner. In the warehouse, in the laboratory or on the shop floor, our robots are designed to work seamlessly with people, allowing them to focus on more meaningful work and create better work environments. Having worked in the field of Artificial Intelligence for more than three decades, I am particularly fascinated by the transformative possibilities it brings to robotics: AI lowers the entry barrier to robotics for businesses and makes robots more accessible. In the past, people had to learn the language of robots; today, robots speak the language of humans. To ensure these advancements benefit all, we must bring people on the journey and foster education with comprehensive training and upskilling. I am an optimist at heart and look forward to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with AI-enabled robotics, together with my dedicated team at ABB.
