  THE RISE OF 3D PRINTING AND ROBOTICS How is it changing your world?   Science fiction writers have been fascinated with robots and the threat it imposes on our way of living. Few realize how close we are now to robots being part of our manufacturing and the effect of automation on our daily lives. What will the world look like in 5, 10 or 20 years? What can we suggest our children to study? What will the future bring for those whose jobs will be replaced by machines? Will China still be the manufacturer of the world when costs are no longer determined by the cost of labor?     Three speakers whose job gives them the opportunity to be exposed to the cutting edge of innovation will give their view on the technology changes we will see not too long from now.   Mr. Martijn Tideman - TNO Automotive Safety Solutions As the Business Development Manager ADAS for TASS International, a leading software company in the automotive sector, Martijn will speak about “The future of self-driving cars”.
