…think it's important to highlight the opportunity that Rapid Robotics is representing. They're a great innovator with their robots-as-a-service [RaaS] model. The partnership is a great example to highlight Markforged's fit in the robotics and automation space. The types of parts that companies in that industry are looking for are often complex and high value. With additive manufacturing, you have the ability to make parts that meet the performance requirements. But also from a cost and lead time point of view, 3D printing and Markforged are perfect for that lower-volume, higher-value ecosystem.

…robot provider Locus Robotics. He observed that the robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model is not just for shifting capital expenditures to operational expenses, but it’s also helpful for maintaining customer engagement. RaaS is good for getting recurring revenue, but the return on investment (ROI) still needs to be less than 12 months, said Torres. The panelists also agreed that robotics startups should focus on their core competencies when determining what to outsource to contract manufacturers. The inaugural Robotics Invest event was held in the Artists for Humanity space in Boston. Source: Cybernetix Ventures Once robotics startups have identified the problems they’re aiming…

…to manage them, whether through software or robotics-as-a-service, or RaaS, models. Organizations are searching for best practices and tools to operate, manage, and maintain their robot fleets. These considerations apply to almost any system promising greater efficiency, from automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to semi-autonomous and self-driving lift trucks. The industrial robotics market was worth abut $41.7 billion just two years ago, according to Zion Market Research. It could grow to about $81.4 billion—about $250 per person in the U.S.—by 2028 and grow almost 12% year over the next few years, predicted the research firm. Similarly,…
