Archival video of the Unimate robot that Angel berger s company robotics industry with launched are shown together with interviews of Angel berger dates from the early days of robotics.

Launched in 1977, his 113 industry leaders from 16 countries now selected for the Angel berger Award. The name of each recipient s appear in the tribute Pavilion at automate 2011.
Automate 2011 is North America's broadest Automation event, with solutions for robotics, machine vision, and motion control.
