Cognoids
// [ 'cog-noyd-s ] //
noun
Highly skilled and highly motivated members of the Cognex team. Dreamers and doers. Inventors with a passion for reimagining the world through the creative use of leading-edge technology.
“I started Cognex because I wanted to work each day in a particular kind of company...one that had smart, energetic, creative people who enjoy what they are doing, who like to have goals, and stretch to achieve them. People who take their work seriously, but not themselves.
Well, I couldn’t find such a company -
so I had to create it.”
- Robert J. Shillman, Ph.D. (“Doctor Bob”)
