The rapid advances in robotics engineering are making it increasingly difficult to keep up with the pace of innovations. The enormous flood of information often exceeds the human ability to preserve knowledge, which leads to a quiet crisis. So far, the ‘human bottleneck’ in knowledge retention has rarely been discussed. Since various sub-disciplines evolve at the same time in robotics, it is difficult to create a permanently stable knowledge basis. The constant change between complex departments often leads to loss of information. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to implement active learning systems in order to secure knowledge in the long term. Robotics companies must see continuous learning as an integral part of the engineering process and provide their teams with the necessary time and tools to efficiently manage internal knowledge bases.
