The different types of robots available in the market include articulated, cylindrical robots, SCARA, and Cartesian robots. Among industrial robots, the highest share is occupied by articulated robots. They have high payload capacity and working efficiency. They are currently used in many operations such as welding, assembly, material handling, packaging, and casing. Robotics finds greater applications in automotive, electronics defense, aerospace, metals, chemicals, and food industries. In these industries, customized robots have already been deployed as per their requirement. The Automotive industry accounts for 41 percent of industrial demand, followed by electrical and electronics at 20 percent, the metal industry at 13 percent, and chemical, rubber, and plastics industries at 9 percent. Robots are now widely used in the manufacturing sector where they play an important role in assembling, welding, and material handling of automotive parts with the objective of reducing labor power.

“The Robotics market is witnessing phenomenal growth. More companies are developing partnerships with other players that offer the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, the competition among manufacturers will further bolster the adoption of robotics,” said Vignesh Premkumar, Research Analyst at Beroe. “In all this, artificial intelligence is expected to play a critical role. As with anything, the robotics market isn’t perfect. There are gaps that restrict its growth and adoption rate. AI can play a game-changer in addressing the key constraints and filling the gaps.”
