There's also a recent trend - robots and automation as a service, i.e. rental.
This together with simple installation(since newer robots aren't risky to humans and don't require a cage), and fast programming leaves relatively little barriers for adoption of robots.
So it would be interesting to see what will happen.
- ropman76 7y agoI used to work at a manufacturing company. I know the company tried renting some robots for putting items on a rack and getting them off said rack. On the surface it seemed like a good idea since this job is repetitive and boring for a human. Sadly it didn’t work out. The amount of change in the parts being put on the rack proved to be a challenge for the robot and the company ended up ending the rental agreement.
