What is Microsoft MVP Program? Guest: Lars Schreiber [German]

We talk with Gunter Logemann (Microsoft) about the challenges of adapting robotic solutions, how Microsoft has different offerings for this type of integration and robotics, and what else is hot in the robotics universe and what we are doing next. A little bit Technical but also business oriented. We will reveal couple use cases business cases we do with our customers together and tell you how Robotics can save you money or sometimes even lives of your human workers.
