…they included emerging markets such as agriculture and last-mile delivery. We tracked about $28 billion in transactions among robotics companies this past year, as the International Federation of Robotics and the Association for Advancing Automation noted record deployments and sales, respectively. Mobile robots, welding systems, and software to simulate environments and manage fleets all made it into our top 10 (see right, or below on mobile). It was also a challenging year for robotics vendors and customers, with ongoing supply chain problems and shifting consumer behavior leading to layoffs. Our hearts go out to all those affected so soon before…

…is uncrewed aerial system (UAS) use most mature—agriculture, construction, delivery, or infrastructure and utilities? Where does it need work, and why? Mozer: In commercial UAS markets, adoption of drones is increasingly driven by demonstrable ROI [return on investment] for customers. To that end, American Robotics is seeing UAS maturity in critical industries with high-value use cases, including oil and gas, bulk materials, and mining. Our customer base in these critical industries continues to grow as some of the largest companies in these markets adopt autonomous drone technology. Autonomous drones enable these companies to automate inspections, keep employees safe, and monitor…
