…For me, emerging markets include countries like Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, which all have big retail chains. In Italy, the government offers stimulus for robotics, so that can also be a driver. At the end of the day, we don't tell our OEMs where to sell, and there are markets that are more interesting for BrainOS-powered robots. Putting a robot in a facility is only Step 0.1 of the process—you don't buy a robot; you buy a process. We also want to make sure that when robots enter a region, that customer expectations are part of…

…and artificial intelligence to automate high-accuracy, high-agility tasks. The Singapore-based company is currently completing fundraising rounds in Japan through connections provided by program mentors. MassRobotics introduced Eureka to partner Mitsubishi Electric, and the startup signed an agreement with Mitsubishi as a gobal platinum partner. The program helped Eureka’s leadership to explore applications in surgical lens manufacturing, which is an extension of its focus on traditional manufacturing. Bionomous provides laboratory equipment to automate the screening, sorting, and pipetting of miniature biological entities for more ethical and faster research in life science.

…constellation, including AI research in France, customer-service robots in Singapore, drones and assistive systems in Israel, marine systems in the Netherlands, and collaborative robot arms and mobile robots from Denmark. And that's not even counting the billions of dollars currently flowing into autonomous vehicle development, with China and the U.S. as early leaders. As each country and region seeks robotics leadership, common themes include technological innovation, manufacturing competitiveness, and the ability to coordinate R&D across academia and industry. While some governments are focused more on healthcare or military applications, the robotics advancements they fund could benefit the entire world.

…in Australia, Brazil, EU, Korea, Japan, North America and Singapore (previously US only). This is the preferred deployment option for enterprises looking to scale quickly and integrate with existing SaaS products. Cloud-based Orbit streamlines deployment because it does not require installation of a physical server and it auto-connects to Spot via Wi-Fi or LTE. It also helps users stay current with optional in-app updates and enables flexible extension hosting options outside the confines of a physical server. If the cloud isn’t for you, Orbit can still be deployed on-premise via the Site Hub. Both versions offer the same visibility and…

…to 187 in 2019, as published by the IFR. Singapore is a second example, growing its robot density from 299 to 918 within five years. So far, the frontrunner countries with respect to robot densities are strongly active in the automotive and/or the electronics industry. Once we manage a broader diffusion into general industries, the picture can quickly change—to the benefits of those economies being most successful in this process. We already see that economies that invest in their automation infrastructure are more successful. Does the IFR have any projections on how much robotics will grow this year in verticals…

Such conditional autonomy with the condition being the restricted zone will fall under Level 4 as defined by the SAE. The Pesky Level For Level 0 to Level 2, the human driver is fully or largely responsible for road monitoring and making appropriate decisions. For Level 3 to Level 5, the system plays an increasingly larger role, executing dynamic navigating tasks and reacting to events. Therefore, the leap from Level 2 to 3 marks a significant breakthrough. “Some…
