Robotics: Technologies and Global MarketsLONDON, Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Use this report to: - Textile and clothing manufacturing. - Education and research. - Unmanned aerial, maritime, and surface vehicle production. SCOPE AND FORMAT Robotics: Technologies and Global Markets provides both a review of recent key developments in robotics and a forecast that examines the industry from the perspective of robot makers and their traditional and prospective end users. TOPICAL SCOPE Forecasts have been generated by region, by type of robot, by robot–user, by robot–assigned task, and by type of robotic product and market region. Five types of robots are discussed and forecast in this report: industrial robots, professional service robots, military robots, domestic service robots, and security robots. Sixteen types of robot users are covered: aerospace manufacturing, agricultural, automotive manufacturing, building maintenance, chemical and fuel processing, construction, consumer products manufacturing, education and research, electrical and electronics manufacturing, food processing, government – defense, government – non–defense, healthcare, households, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and textile and clothing manufacturing. Nineteen robot–performed tasks are examined: assembly; assisted transport; building security; construction and demolition; couriers and guides; dispensing; entertainment; floor maintenance; exterior maintenance; hazardous materials disposal; inspection and sample collection; laboratory bench assistance; material handling; painting, coating and gluing; palletizing and packaging; part cutting and forming; surgery; surveillance; and welding and soldering. Four robotic products groups are reviewed: whole robots, robot parts, robot software and robot safety materials. GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE The study examined the factor driving the potential robotics market in 74 countries with a sufficient economic and manufacturing structure to adopt robotic technology. For forecasting purposes those countries were divided among three geographic and one non–geographic groups. In the report we identify those market groups as: Asia–Pacific, Europe Plus, North America, and Other markets. Asia–Pacific contains 14 countries: Australia, Bangladesh, China–Mainland, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Europe Plus contains 31 countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. North America contains four regions: Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the United States. Other markets covers 25 countries: Argentina, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Georgia, Guatemala, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Nigeria, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Venezuela. FORMAT The study itself is divided into 11 chapters and contains 108 tables. The Summary and Introduction chapters are followed by chapters that reflect the five market perspectives on the robotics industry: by type of robot, by region, and so forth. Chapters eight and nine discuss basic and advanced robotic technology, including recent developments. Chapter Ten summarizes recent patent activity including abstracts of key robotic patents. Chapter Eleven describes major commercial and non–commercial participants the global robotics community and lists with postal addresses more than 112 academic organizations actively involved in research projects. Market estimates and forecasts are provided in constant U.S. dollars, unadjusted for inflation. ROBOTS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS STUDY This study excludes software applications known as internet robots, automated machine tools, customer service kiosks such as automatic teller machines, implanted medical devices, active prosthetics, robots used in space exploration, and power–assisted "exoskeletons." Robot kits for hobbyists have been omitted, as have robot–related engineering and system integration services. INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this report. BCC Research has reviewed more than 1,000 companies and university–based robotics programs to obtain data for this study. It also reviewed reports and studies prepared for peer–reviewed professional literature, as well as reports by the technical staffs of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of Transportation, the Energy Information Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Science Foundation. Also consulted were Chinese, European, and Japanese counterparts of these organizations, as well as the United Nations and the World Bank. Other data came from robotics companies and robotics association presentations at open sessions of scientific and technical conferences. Forecasts in this report examine demand for robots by region and by robot type.
