“Robotics-as-a-Service Trend”
The modular robotics market is experiencing significant growth, driven by several key trends. The shift towards a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model is making robotic systems more accessible, with plug-and-play modular units being easily integrated into existing production lines. For instance, companies like KUKA are offering RaaS solutions, allowing manufacturers to rent robotic systems without heavy upfront costs. Additionally, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms is improving robot autonomy, adaptability, and decision-making capabilities. Fetch Robotics, for example, uses AI-powered mobile robots for warehouse automation, increasing operational efficiency. Companies are increasingly opting for customizable modular robots that can be tailored to meet specific production needs.
