The International Federation of Robotics today announced the 2021 update for its “World Robotics R&D Programs,” in which it examines government funding of robotics research and development across the world. Each of the top five nations has adjusted its strategy as their economies begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their strategies also reflect different priorities, as countries seek to lead different aspects of innovation or commercialization. The Frankfurt, Germany-based organization revised the “World Robotics R&D Programs” report from last year's edition. “The first version of 'World Robotics R&D Programs' was introduced in June last year,” stated Prof. Dr.…

…The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation has said that robots will dramatically reshape global supply chains and determine the productivity growth of multiple industries, including plastics. Robot density, or the number of robots per 10,000 workers, is approaching 200 in the U.S., according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). Robot density is increasing worldwide, as increasingly sophisticated software, robots, and additive manufacturing make production quicker and more efficient. The software development journey typically starts with the creation of the user interface portion, as outlined by Maryville University. Programmers eventually move on to craft the code that processes, analyzes, and…
