An excerpt from the recent Strategy Analytics research, "Mobile Service Robots: Entering the Commercial World," will be distributed as part of the exclusive conference collateral package. The full report, available from Strategy Analytics, provides a cogent perspective on the emerging market opportunities for mobile robotics that operate in uncertain and dynamically changing environments. This analysis details various categories of mobile robots coming out of research labs; examines the embryonic state of the market today; and identifies some of the major barriers that must be overcome in order to achieve mass commercialization. A road map for the development of mobile robotic capabilities and future application opportunities is provided in the full report.
RoboNexus, co-hosted by Robotics Trends and IDG World Expo, is one of two prominent events occurring just this week and focused around this emerging field of mobile robots. Held just one day after the Geneva-based United Nations' European Economic Commission's annual conference on robotics, "A Robot in Every Home," this week of intense focus on robots is being called "Robotics Week." According to Ms. Buck, "Two major robotics events on two continents demonstrate the dynamic opportunities in this emerging field and the growing interest in it from enterprises and consumers around the world."
As vice president of the Emerging Frontiers program at Strategy Analytics, Ms. Buck examines the confluence of future-generation intelligent computing and communications systems with the needs of leading-edge businesses and consumers. Prior to joining Strategy Analytics, Ms. Buck served as Vice president and Research Director of emerging technologies at New Science Associates, now a part of Gartner Group.
