A Look at the Sprouting and Shrinking Technologies in Robotics

Environmental and alternatively powered robotics is currently the most inventive branch, gaining interest from various institutes and industries.

FREMONT, CA: Over the last handful of years, the robotics industry has added millions of jobs, spearheaded by consumer electronics and the electric vehicle sector, and by the end of 2021, robotics will be more than a 100 billion dollars industry.

The rehabilitation robot market, for example, increased tenfold between 2010 and 2016, owing to advancements in rehab/therapy robots, exoskeletons, active prostheses, and wearable robotics. According to a report, robots will become critical components in many applications in the coming decade, and robots combined with artificial intelligence will be able to undertake complex actions capable of learning from humans, propelling the intelligent automation phenomenon.

Robotics, on the other hand, has already produced leftovers in its brief history. A few fields of once-popular robotics are losing prominence. Humanoids, cyborgs, geminoids, and others are among them. Their appeal and influence among the general public (as well as a significant number of scholars) appear to be fading as if both the experimentation and the public imagination have been saturated.

Environmental and alternatively powered robotics is currently the most inventive branch, gaining interest from various institutes and industries. In any case, there are few actual applications (for example, toys, navigation, and so on) and thus do not provide a useful set against which we may assess their effectiveness. Nonetheless, they potentially constitute a significant aim, as energy prices are a chief barrier in our machine-driven civilization. In all other applications, renewable energies in robotics appear to be the only solution.

The discipline of neurorobotics that uses neuromorphic computing may also provide an essential answer to the energy consumption question. Many types of research are looking into the usage of processes analogous to (human) brain processes, which can provide large-scale computation with far less energy consumption than any computational/robotic device currently available.

In terms of research and applications, the field of robot implementation and adoption has essentially blossomed in the previous two decades. It has infiltrated people's imaginations and nearly all current markets, to the point that, on the one hand, one can find robotics news every day and, on the other hand, robotics is about to reach a market share of over 100 billion dollars.
