Robots will no longer remain confined to industrial applications. It already started becoming a part and parcel of our life. Requirements from services, military and space applications will grow in importance. More robotics will be used in medical applications. More floors will be swept; more lawns mowed by robots, more planets will be explored. The growth in service robotics is estimated as above 60% by 2025. In India this market is early stage or still need to be established. However because of the new normal due to the pandemic Covid19, automation will be getting highly significant in the coming years even in India.
Q. What will be your marketing strategy for making your offerings more successful?
Can’t be disclosed at this point of time.
Q. Lastly, trends you expect shaping the Automation and robotics sector?
This is the time of fourth industrial revolution. New age industrial robots, play a pivotal role in Industry 4.0 revolution. During the last decade, the evolution of robotic capabilities was exponential. Robots have become more efficient, customizable, assistive, collaborative and multi-purpose, safer and have contributed immense value to manufacturing and service sectors. Advancement in IoT and AI work as cartelists to this. The impact of digital labour is not only helps the manufacturing process automation but also supports research and development in transforming ideas and concepts in to reality. 3D printers are a good example to this.
