Hudson, who has qualifications in electrical and software engineering, has worked as a controls engineer for Kuka and its sister company, Thompson, since 1994.
His new role will involve overseeing the company's team of controls engineers, working on numerous and varied projects from concept to completion.
Cooper, who has degrees in mechanical engineering and manufacturing systems, joined Kuka as an engineer five years ago.
His new role will involve the preparation of projects and the supervision of Kuka's team of project engineers. Request free introductory details about products from KUKA Automation + Robotics ...
