By any measure, the robotics industry is ecpanding dramatically. This growth can be quantified in terms of increased sales and installations, along with the development of wholly new applicalions and businesses enabled by robotics technologies. But the term “robotics” can describe a wide swath of technologies, applications, markets, and even industries. This makes understanding robotics in toto problematic. Ongoing, rapid technological churn only makes the process more difficult ( hype also abounds).
The purpose of this session is to describe the worldwide robotics sector as it stands today, while highlighting future opportunities in a way that informs decision making and reduces risk. Attendees of this session will be provided with a taxonomic framework describing the various classes of robotics sectors. Market sizing data for many of the most exciting new markets will be provided for many sectors.
Business, technology and social issues driving these sectors will be discussed ( the Internet of Things, machine learning, clous computing, for example), along with descriptions of recent innovations that will further accelerate the proliferation of robotics technology into the home, the workplace and public placan.
Because of Covid 19 VP Dan Kara will participate virtually.
