The report focuses on sensor technologies and components in robotics applications that are currently under development and are enjoying increased visibility, investment and growth. This is mainly due to the capabilities sensors are expected to enable in robotics. Simply put, smarter, sensor-enabled robots that can make decisions based on sensory feedback are expected to have massive societal impact, as such robotic systems will proliferate in many more market segments than current robotic systems address. Vision systems alone will be a market of $5.7 Billion by 2027, force sensing will reach over $6.9 Billion while the multiple sensors in domestic robots will account for $3.6 Billion, representing almost 30% of their value.

 

The report focuses on:

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of the introduction of these new features in robots, increased uptake of robotic systems in new and existing sectors and applications is expected; it is due to improved performance and the introduction of robots with new and expanded capabilities. These include but are not limited to communication capabilities, environmental perception, and sensor-enabled mobility which in turn enable concepts such as collaborative robots, advanced mobile robots and autonomous vehicles. The features of these robots as well as their sensor requirements are described in detail in the report.

 

The effects of the development of the above key sensor technologies are studied and ten year forecasts are given for sensing systems on robotic applications such as:

 

Overall, the timing factor in the above considerations has been critical; a few key technology developments in recent years aligned in order to lead to the growth of robotic sensing we are experiencing. For instance, massive strides in software development and the creation of learning algorithms for data fusion went hand in hand with significant costs reductions in sensor componentry while achieving high performance. These trends, that are expected to continue, have influenced the underlying assumptions in this report, and have shaped the forecasts within it.
