ROBOTICS
Whilst robots have been around for some time , the robotics industry has recently entered into the business spotlight .
In line with the current digital revolution , enterprises are looking for new ways to innovate with digital technologies , from improving workplace productivity to improving operational efficiencies . Consequently , AI and automation has emerged as a ground-breaking solution .
Last year ( 2023 ) was all about exploring these technologies . From Agility Robotics implementing its Digit robot into Amazon warehouses , to newer companies like 1X achieving global funding support , combined with generative AI ( Gen AI ) driving advances in Robotic Process Automation ( RPA ), the robotics landscape is starting to look more animated as we progress further into 2024 .

Navigating changing global demands Humanoid robots in particular have been posed as a valuable resource within key industries like manufacturing , as they can complete tasks that are either unsafe or inefficient for human employees to complete . From handling heavy loads or toxic substances , to managing repetitive tasks , robots can help companies prevent accidents and save time and money .
Recent advances in deep learning algorithms have also allowed robots to perform more complex tasks . These range from pattern recognition to more decisionmaking capabilities , in addition to interacting more with its surroundings .
In line with the fast-paced development of Gen AI technologies , this year sees robotic exploration turned into action . Increasing numbers of industry leaders now predict that the industry is set to hugely accelerate .
