Interview with Clearpath Robotics co-founder Ryan Gariepy: ‘Most industries in Canada are under-automated’
Canada has long been recognized for its contributions to robotics research, producing world-class universities, pioneering robotics startups, and innovative technologies that have found applications across manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, mining, and defense. Yet despite this strong technical foundation, many observers argue that Canada has not always translated its research strengths into widespread industrial deployment at the […]
The interview highlights that despite Canada's strong robotics research, industrial adoption remains low, pointing to a current inflection point for automation investments.
This indicates a significant untapped potential for growth and productivity improvements in Canadian industries, impacting national competitiveness and economic output.
Increased awareness and potential policy focus on bridging the gap between robotics research and widespread industrial deployment within Canada are likely, driving future automation investments.

Canada's 'under-automated' industries begin to invest more heavily in robotics and AI to improve efficiency and competitiveness.
Increased domestic automation could lead to a rise in skilled jobs in robotics and AI, while potentially displacing some lower-skilled positions.
Canada could become a leader in specific niche automation applications if it successfully translates research into widespread industrial use, enhancing its global economic standing.
