We embarked back to ABB Robotics for the second part of our meetings with them, and once again we had a blast. Bertil Thorvaldsson gave another extremely professional and remarkable presentation to us, and started with an overview of product management and what product managers do. Every product has a product manager, who is responsible for every aspect that makes the product successful. This includes everything from research and development to post-project analysis, which he showed through ABB Robotics "Market Driven Model for Managing and Marketing Technology Products": (disregard red text)
I found the position of product manager interesting because it encompassed all aspects of a business, and merged the technical with the creative. Thorvaldsson taught us that as a product manager, there will always be something to do; there is never a moment when everything necessary has been achieved.
We also were able to witness ABB's robots in action; we went down to the workshop where and engineer demonstrated RobotStudio and a couple mid-sized robots. The software looks technical, yet easy to use and easy to adjust. We also witnessed how precise these robots can be.
