The #RoboticsIndustry has been overwhelmingly white & male - which can make it seem impenetrable to individuals who fall outside of those groups.
Despite rapid growth, the #robotics industry has a #diversity problem. In 2018, 12.7% of U.S. population identified as #Black or #AfricanAmerican, according to the U.S. Census. Despite this, only 4.2% of bachelor’s degrees, 4.8% of master’s degrees & 4.2% of Ph.D. degrees in #engineering were awarded to #BlackScholars.
