The market for service, collaborative, and mobile robots is expected to exceed US$90 billion by 2032. Robotics and automation have significantly revolutionized how people work and live across a number of industries.

They may not be ubiquitous yet, and the day-to-day advantages that they will start to provide may not be noticeable, but automated technologies across the automotive industry are starting to come of age. The 'robotaxi' industry is beginning to see more small commercial deployments. Autonomous trucks are on the cusp of real-world use, and next-generation sensor technologies are being deployed on vehicles that are for sale. This article covers some of the most exciting developments and milestones over the last year and makes predictions about what might come next year.

With an increasing demand for automation in the 21st century, robots have had rapid and unprecedented growth across many industries, including logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and food delivery.

Cobalt Robotics is a US-based company focused on automating mundane tasks, primarily in safety services.

Wednesday 8 February 2023 - Technological Developments and Applications. Contents that will be covered in this webinar include: An overview of PIC technology; Drivers of increased data demands from data centres; PIC trends in the communications industry; and PIC adoption in other markets

This IDTechEx premium article gives an overview of robots used in the construction industry.

Quantum Computers: What Are They and When Will They Create Commercial Value? In the last decade, the number of companies actively developing quantum computer hardware has quadrupled. In 2022 multiple funding rounds surpassing US$100 million have been closed, and the transition from lab-based toys to commercial products has begun.

The materials industry is sometimes described as conservative, but digital transformation is well underway in the sector. Materials informatics - the application of data-centric approaches, including machine learning, to materials R&D - has the potential to be the most impactful arm of this process.

Serve Robotics is a manufacturer of autonomous food delivery carriers/robots. It recently claimed its success in commercializing its level 4 self-driving robots.

As high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, and even consumers become increasingly data-hungry, hardware struggles to keep pace. In addition, the need for real-time assessments of moving data points - such as for the accurate velocity-mapping of other objects in autonomous systems and facial recognition for security systems - is crucial to an increasingly hands-free society.

The Road to More Intelligent Robots? Sensors are crucial for the value proposition behind many intelligent robotic systems. With the increasing demand for robots to handle complicated tasks, the growing adoption of robots, and the decreasing costs of sensors, the market for sensors in robotics is rapidly growing. It is expected to exceed US$80 billion by 2043. This fast growth and the substantial market size are partially driven by the growth of robots in the next two decades as a whole, but also expects sensors to capture an increasing proportion of the total value in robotic systems.

IDTechEx have released a brand new report, "Quantum Computers 2023-2043". This report covers the hardware that promises a revolutionary approach to solving the world's unmet challenges.

This premium article discusses thermal interface materials (TIMs) for data centers, including the types commonly used, data center switch players, how TIMs are used in data center switches, and more.

Robots, by definition, are machines with autonomy. Over the past several years, robots have gained significant momentum in a variety of industries, such as logistics and delivery, manufacturing, cleaning and disinfection, and daily services.

While 5G mmWave has yet to take off, 6G research has already begun. But what exactly is 6G, and what are the emerging areas to watch?
