By The Robot Report Staff | June 15, 2018

ROBO Global, creator of the first benchmark index tracking the global robotics and automation market, has expanded the strength and expertise of its advisory board with the addition of Daniela Rus, Ph.D., Professor and Director of MIT CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory), one of the largest AI departments in the US.

In addition to 30 years of experience as a professor, Rus’ leadership in research, innovation, and education has won her the prestigious Engelberger Award. The third ROBO Global advisory board member to obtain the award, Rus’ research specifically focuses on mobile computing, robotics and data science.

“Our advisory board is comprised of some of the brightest minds in robotics, automation and AI to ensure that our indices and investment strategies deliver exposure to the leading companies in these fields,” said Travis Briggs, CEO of ROBO Global US. “Dr. Rus’ extensive experience studying and educating others on robotics and AI will perfectly complement the expertise of existing board members, further enhancing our ability to aggressively monitor these emerging technologies and ultimately, help investors capitalize on their rapid growth.”
