Growth Factors in the Robotics Technology Industry:

  • Increasing Industrial Automation Adoption

The trend to automated manufacture continues to drive demand for robotics, as firms in automotive, electronics and pharmaceutical industries automate their production processes for increased throughput and accuracy. Contemporary automated factories are replacing fixed assembly lines with smart automation that uses robotics-based quality inspection, predictive maintenance and real-time scheduling to produce flexible, rather than rigid, automation solutions. Countries like Japan, South Korea and Germany are encouraging automation. Advanced robotics are assisting manufacturers to respond to market changes such as more customization, a move to smaller production runs. Industrial automation uses cyber-physical systems to monitor all areas of competitive manufacturing.

  • Growing Labor Shortages Across Industries

World-wide robotics investment is being driven, in part, by labor shortages, rising labor costs, and the potential of robots to perform tasks previously considered too heavy, dangerous or monotonous for robots, and to automate processes in the absence of workers. Examples include warehouses that use robots to meet the demand for and quickly deliver e-commerce products, and agriculture that uses robots to alleviate the seasonal shortage of farm workers. Current companies are installing robotics to not only alleviate shortage concerns, but to improve employees' quality of life and prepare for future skills that are predicted to be required in the market.

  • Rapid Advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Robots are being continuously augmented with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and computer vision so they can become self-learning systems that perceive and work in different environments with little or no human involvement. Vision-based robots can inspect target features down to 1 micrometer. Reinforcement learning is a way of trial-and-error learning. AI is used in pattern recognition for safe path planning in crowded environments. It is also used in cloud robotics to process data collected and to perform tasks in decentralized fashion. AI is also penetrating non-industrial environments, including hospitality robots that provide service in hotel rooms, and in medical settings. As technology advances and becomes cheaper, robotics intelligence will become embedded in many markets.

Key Trends in the Robotics Technology Market

  • Integration of Collaborative Robotics (Cobots)

As they can operate safely alongside humans, no safety barriers are required when using cobots. Because they can often be programmed using drag-and-drop software applications and other simple visual programming environments, automation with collaborative robots does not require highly skilled programmers. They can be used for machine operation, packing and sorting items, and quality control. They are particularly suited for SMEs that want a fast return on investment, frequent change-over, and to use human time more effectively on value-adding processes. They also provide advantages of improved ergonomics, as they can take on the dangerous and/ or heavy lifting aspects of work otherwise undertaken by a person. With the development of AI and situation awareness, cobots may find increasing use in collaborative decision-making and collaborative work.

  • Expansion of Service and Professional Robotics

Service robots work as tools for efficiency and give service to customers. Hotels have used robots for concierge services and delivery and logistics. Disinfecting robots and medication dispensing robots are used in hospitals to reduce hospital-acquired infections, and autonomous shelf-scanning robots are used by retailers to count shelves in real-time. Robots have been widely deployed for professional use in established markets such as military and public safety (surveillance, reconnaissance, disaster response, etc.). Robot home appliances, such as vacuum cleaner and elderly care robots, have become common, as part of a long-term trend toward home automation as a smart assistive ecosystem.

  • Development of Autonomous Mobile Robotics

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can be used in many environments that customary conveyor-based automation systems would be used, but the robots implement obstacle detection and avoidance, pathfinding, and obstacle navigation capabilities with no human input. Techniques such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and 3D vision-based navigation enable operation in various settings. AMRs increase order picking throughput in e-commerce and other fulfillment operations, without needing to completely re-design a facility. Fleet management software can be used to control a fleet of AMRs in fulfillment operations. The modularity of AMRs allows companies to scale their automation systems in response to their individual requirements, and improvements in battery life and internet-of-things connectivity mean they are now central to smart and agile logistics.
