…of robotics in India becomes clearer when compared to China, said the IFR. India´s robot density in the automotive industry, which is the number of industrial robots per 10,000 employees, reached 148 robots in 2021. China's robot density hit 131 units in 2010 and skyrocketed to 772 units in 2021, according to the Frankfurt, Germany-based organization. The Indian government supports growth in the industrial sector as one of the vital figures that affect its gross domestic product (GDP). Today, the country's GDP of about $3 trillion ranks in fifth place, head to head with the U.K. and France and behind…

…UK-based jobs to elsewhere. In the Shadow of the U.S.-China Tension Whereas Mellanox gave NVIDIA the interconnects that are critical in HPC (high performance computing), Arm is expected to give NVIDIA the energy-efficient microprocessor technology and IP essential to the development of various SoCs (systems on chips). Both are crucial building blocks to AI computing architecture. Under normal circumstances, regulatory approval for the transaction may be merely procedural, but in the tense climate of the current U.S.-China relations, it's fate is less predictable. “Arm’s blueprints for powering chipsets are a critical component for many Chinese smartphone makers and AI firms…

…different place. Those that missed the boat will have the motivation to prepare themselves better for future crises. “Inside China’s COVID-19 clogged supply chain and beyond, it’s clear that preventing future plant shutdowns means making a greater investment in robotics and automation. In recent years, China has bought more robots than any other country, especially collaborative robots (co-bots). It will now have to start putting them to work.” This analysis is based on GlobalData’s report: COVID-19 Impact on Industrial Automation – Thematic Research
