Tablet apps are congruent technology for all robots, adding platform functionality and providing basic platform controls. There is the potential for standardization so the robotic platforms are congruent, but that has not happened yet. Companies with a presence in tablet markets are poised to benefit enormously from the growth of robot markets. The app software provides a universal mechanism that will permit flexible response to changing market conditions. The opportunity to participate in robotic markets is compelling. This new market is evolving as new automated process based on breakthroughs and innovation in technology is expressed in robotic platforms. Microprocessor technology, optics, cameras, nanotechnology, new materials, thin film batteries, and sensors are among the technologies being put to use in innovative ways in robots. The ability to apply any technology from any company is phenomenal. This study provides a robotics market overview describing the breadth and depth of opportunity. Most companies have not been thinking of universal platform technology, but just as GE and the utility industry tackled the properties and opportunities brought by standard delivery of electricity, so also standard robotic platforms are set to evolve. This is a must read study that lays out current robotic markets.
