Connected Campus

Increased robotics and interactivity in the higher education space post-pandemic

Trend - The Pandemic enforced many drastic changes in the education space, with virtual learning as the safest option. Now that most places in the world are no longer enforcing strict distancing rules, campuses can reopen -- however, they must do so with safety in mind. Connectivity and robotics are integral to this "new normal" of higher education.

Insight - This more technology-driven approach to campuses follows a pattern seen in many industries post-pandemic. Despite mandates lifting in many places, the threat of COVID-19 is still present, both physically, and psychologically. Technology is the key to providing safe, but familiar experiences as society moves into the next phase of the pandemic. Additionally, the use of exciting new technologies heightens experiences, making them feel more worth the risk, and ultimately speaking to a new set of needs.
Workshop Question - How can technology help you better accommodate your customers in the post-pandemic world?
Trend Themes
1. Connectivity and Robotics - The use of connectivity and robotics is integral to post-pandemic higher education for both safety and enhanced experiences.
2. Autonomous Delivery - Autonomous delivery technology is becoming increasingly popular in the food and beverage industry, especially on college campuses.
3. Autonomous Transportation - Autonomous transportation, like shuttle buses, is being designed with modern technologies that cater to the needs of commuters of the future.
Industry Implications
1. Higher Education - In the higher education sector, there is a need to promote technology-driven environments that enable students to feel safe, stimulated and engaged.
2. Food and Beverage - Autonomous delivery technology is becoming increasingly popular in the food and beverage industry as a solution to contactless delivery and increased efficiency.
3. Transportation - Urban and campus transportation will be increasingly characterized by connectivity and autonomous driving and will offer an efficient, safe and customized travel experience.
