The technology industry is a hotbed of innovation driven by progress in robotics technology, characterised by enhancements in sensors, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. GlobalData’s report on Innovation in Robotics: Robotic Vision shows that there have been over 3.6 million patents filed and granted in the technology industry in the last three years alone. GlobalData’s Technology Foresights plots the S-curve for the technology industry using innovation intensity models built on over 2.5 million patents, and identifies 300+ innovation areas that will shape the future of the industry. AI-assisted inspection, anti-collision LiDAR, 3D object sensing, autonomous harvesters, cleaning robots, and line follower robots are some of the emerging and accelerating innovation areas that should be tracked closely.
