INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A big part of prepping for that event and my recent trip involved surveying some of the biggest funding raises from the past year
A quick survey of these trends finds most investments concentrated in a handful of key categories
From there, we can get a pretty clear view of what the robotics industry will look like in the coming years and the roles we can expect
these machines to play in our daily lives
The definition of robotics is, of course, broad and only getting broader, as these technologies grow and mature
mobility, as opposed to robotics.Artificial intelligence startups, too, are included sparingly for similar reasons
With those caveats in mind, these verticals have been the key focuses of robotics investments: warehouse automation/fulfillment,
construction, retail/food, agriculture and surgical/medical.
