ISG Appears on FOX Business NetworkSTAMFORD, Conn., July 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- An automation expert with Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, appeared today on FOX Business Network to discuss the impact of software-driven robotics on both lives and business.
Stanton Jones, director and principal analyst, ISG Research, was interviewed by host Stuart Varney on the program Varney & Co. Jones appeared on the program in advance of this week's ISG Automation Summit in New York, where he will reveal the major findings of ISG's latest Bot 3.0 study during his opening session tomorrow morning at the Westin Times Square. Jones was joined on the program by retired Master Sergeant Leroy Petry, a Medal of Honor recipient and a veteran of eight tours of duty in the Global War on Terror. Petry will be a keynote speaker at the ISG event and will share his story about how he lost his right hand in a grenade blast, and now lives with a prosthetic hand powered by sensors that detect his muscle movements and respond to his thought commands. When asked by Varney about what's next for the technology behind the prosthesis, Jones said, "We're going to see really rapid advances in the software … that are going to continually improve functionality. Every time Sergeant Petry uses his arm, that's producing more data that then gets fed back into these systems, which is going to improve [them] over time." Jones mentioned that Ptry has replacement fingers for his prosthesis and said people will be able to use 3-D printing to make replacement parts for prosthetic devices. "You are going to have people being able to print their own prosthetic limbs because of this combination of fast hardware and software that's improving really quickly over time." "ISG is delighted to have had this opportunity to appear today on Fox Business Network to discuss the important role robotics is playing in both business and life," said Michael P. Connors, chairman and CEO of ISG. "It was a perfect segue to the start of our ISG Automation Summit in New York today, the industry's premier event for automation thought leaders and business executives."
