Last-Mile Delivery

Four key categories: drones, legged robots, wheeled robots, and autonomous vehicles.

Retail

Streamline manual, repetitive processes that are otherwise too time-consuming.

Manual Labor

Control costs by automating tedious and time-consuming tasks, reducing the amount of time expended in manual labor.

3D Printing

Enables faster and more accurate construction of complex or bespoke items as well as lowering labour costs and producing less waste.

New Materials

New materials such as self-healing concrete, 3D graphene, laminated tiber, and aerographite may change the way we build.

Pre-Fabrication

Better upfront planning, elimination of on-site weather factors, subcontractor scheduling delays and quicker fabrication.

New Techniques

Vertical Farming, Genetic Modification and Cultured Meat will be game changers.

Food Waste

Between 33% to 50% of all food produced is never eaten. This is more than $1 trillion / year.

Big Data

Advanced sensors & data will allow farms to be more profitable, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

Material Handling

Material-transfer applications require the robot to move materials or work parts from one location to another.

Processing

Robots that manipulate a tool to perform a process on a work part. Including Spot welding, continuous arc welding, and spray painting.

Assembly & Inspection

The use of robots in assembly is expected to increase because of the high cost of manual labour in these operations.

Autonomous

Autonomous driving will transform our cities, from smarter roads and updated traffic signals, to new practices like car sharing.

Electrification

Transitioning from gas to electricity will be a major theme in the next 10 years with regards to transportation technology.

Mobility as a Service

Enables users to plan, book, and pay for multiple types of mobility services.

Pick & Pack

Robotic systems can pick up one or several objects and pack them into a box, carton, tray, or other type of container.

Logistics

More than 80 percent of the warehouses today have no automation whatsoever.

Fulfilment

Employees now lift and walk less, have less errors, and can increase order throughput.

Machine Learning

Results teach medical researchers and clinicians new ways of studying diseases, making medicines and treating patients.

CRISPR

Allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences, modify gene function, correct genetic defects, and preventing the spread of diseases.

Precision Robotics

Medical robots assist with surgery, streamline hospital logistics, and enable providers to give more direct attention to patients.

Drones

Autonomous vehicles and drones play a decisive role on the battlefield. They do everything from scouting the landscape before an attack to evacuating wounded soldiers.

Robotics

Supply convoys near enemy territory, scouting missions where discovery is fatal, and flights through conditions with poor visibility.

Big Data

Visual data typically comes from satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), and other surveying robots.
