The role of robotics in an evolving world—particularly in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture and governance—was highlighted yesterday at Guyana’s first ever robotics camp, held at the Saint Rose’s High School.
United States-based Technology Consultant Karen Abrams, an alumna of the high school, explained to the group of 30, mostly between the ages of 10 to 14 (although a few older ones were in attendance) the place robotics has taken in the modern world, especially in the job sector.
Bringing it close to home for participants, she made reference to the “skyrocket” in gold finds since the Canadian-owned Aurora gold mining company started operations locally, while stating that this was the result of their use of automated systems.
