The interplay of human and robotic workers promises flexibility, savings and new competitive capabilities when deployed as part of a holistic robotics strategy that incorporates design thinking, human behavior studies and partner ecosystems.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is actively shaping both the industrial and consumer worlds. Smart tech finds its way to every business and consumer domain there is — from retail to healthcare, from finances to logistics — and a missed opportunity strategically employed by a competitor can easily qualify as a long-term failure for companies who don’t innovate.

As organizations are trending towards automation, the Robotics industry
experiences strong, sustained growth
Robotics is rapidly transforming the way humans live and work, and will
continue to grow due to the ongoing trend toward automation and
continued innovative technical improvements in industrial robots. In light
of these developments, robotics manufacturers have already made
preparations for these growth prospects. Production capacities have
increased, with many European manufacturers operating in the large
sales markets of China and the USA.
In the future, companies will need to focus on the collaboration of human
and machine, simplified applications, light-weight & mobile robots, and
how to integrate robots into existing environments. Additionally, robotic
systems and modular robots will become increasingly popular as they can
be marketed at attractive prices.

Cloud Robotics / Big Data
Utilizing the cloud can provide robots with access to extensive resources of data which cannot be maintained in the
typical on-board memory. Enabled by the cloud, interaction with other robots and exchanging massive amounts of data
in real time will enhance the quality and speed of operations.
Trend Description
Currently, a high number of robots and automation
systems still operate independently and separately, using
on-board computation, memory, and programming. With
the spread of networking in the cloud, new approaches are
available where processing is performed remotely with
access to dynamic, global datasets to support a range of
functions.
Cloud robotics has the potential of freeing robots from
computing constraints and make robots “smart enough” to
handle challenging situations. Advances in Big Data help
to deal with the vast amount of data generated by sensor-
rich robots (Data Analytics/Mining). Analyzing it will reveal
key patterns and trends useful in mapping real-time
scenario.
The global cloud robotics market is
expected to grow with a CAGR of
29% over the period of 2017-2023,
poised to reach a market size of USD
$17 billion by the end of 2022.
A massive transformation is
underway with the convergence of
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud
infrastructure and processes,
advanced Robotics, and IoT enabled
Digital Twinning.
The growth in the cloud robotics
market is driven by the increasing
demand for automation across
various industries, progress in
wireless technology, and a rise in
developing cloud connected robots.

5. Trend Description
Closely linked with the trend of Cloud Robotics, Connected
Robots is the concept of "Industrial Internet of Things" or
the " Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT). It is based on a
cloud-connected system, where all machines are
constantly exchanging information, learning, and growing
as a single fluid system. Therefore, it can learn to simulate
scenarios and autonomously recover from malfunctions,
increasing the output tremendously. IoRT utilizes sensor
data from a variety of sources which are retrieved and
fused by sensors. The combination of sensing,
communication, processing, and actuation leverages IoT
to a whole new level. Robotic manipulation and grasping,
navigation and localization, and path planning will be
improved. All the information can be shared with the other
plants, suppliers and vendors throughout the value chain.

Mobile robots possess the capability to move around in
their environment and are not fixed to one physical
location. They are able to navigate indoors and outdoors
with high precision in different and even unstructured
environments. This is very useful for a lot of areas where it
was initially difficult to have stationary automation
processes. By integrating AI, cognitive behavior, and
sensor fusion, the mobile robots are able to sense and
adapt to various environments autonomously.

7. Trend Description
Advances in artificial intelligence, sensor, actuator and
navigation technology has made human-robot
collaboration a reality. Cobots independently learn new
steps and their respective interactions with humans in a
short time. Both Cobots and humans can cooperate
closely together, rather than working separately. Work
processes (eg. repetitive activities), can be performed
semi-autonomously or fully autonomously by robots with
the support of humans when required. Unlike the
conventional, immobile robots, Cobots are more mobile
and can navigate independently throughout the assembly

Leveraged by new technologies such as 3D printing, the
speed of producing robotic devices has improved rapidly. It
is possible for corporations to 3D print full robots in
condensed production timeframes, and therefore
experiment with new designs faster (Agile Prototyping and
Development). This allows companies to create more
versatile and organic shapes with key features such as the
correct strength-to-weight ratio. 3D printed internal parts
