IBM Watson VP & Chief Technology Officer, Rob High, to Present Opening Keynote at RoboBusiness

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboBusiness is pleased to announce Robert H. High Jr. as the 2015 opening keynote on September 23 in San Jose, CA. High is an IBM Fellow and Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the IBM Watson Group. With 37 years of programming experience, High is responsible for the Watson technical agenda, as well as thought leadership in cognitive computing.

Watson is a question answering (QA) computing system built to mirror the same cognitive learning process that humans have, using the abilities to observe, interpret, evaluate and decide. In a world with an overabundance of information, Watson scales and bridges gaps in human knowledge. With applications across a wide range of industries, Watson could play a crucial role in the evolution of robotics and the Internet of Things.

"The implications of this type of technology within the Robotics & Intelligent Operating Systems (RIOS) sphere are limitless," says Casey Nobile, Robotics Trends Media Manager. "Rob High brings decades of experience and innovation with him to RoboBusiness 2015 and will be an exceptional keynote to kick the event off."
