AUGUST 20194Revolutionizing the industrial sector, the use of robotics has reached sky-high within the years. According to the International Federation of Robotics, around 1.63 million of industrial robots were in operation worldwide in 2015, which is expected to rise to 2.6 million by 2019. Over the past several years, the Indian robotics industry has pushed far beyond traditional business areas, such as manufacturing and production, to enter emerging domains including education, rehabilitation, and entertainment. With suitable stimulation and investment in the key underlying technologies, a broad range of robotics activities can are now enabled. Over the same time span, the number of Indian robotics researchers and educators has grown from just a handful to several hundred skilled professionals working in industry, higher education, and energy organizations.Robotic start-ups are capitalizing on this growth. They are a trend that's been growing exponentially for the last few years and are increasing innovation in the tech industry and making materials and products more readily available to the general public. Hoping to ride the global robotics tidal wave to success, these growing numbers of start-ups are targeting a wide range of markets. These start-ups are responsible for miniaturization of robotic technologies and newly developed sensing capabilities whose benefits are becoming applicable to an even wider range of manufacturing industries, including those with small and varying lot sizes, materials and product geometries.Our current is about such new-age start-ups in Robotics that are broadening the horizon of what robots are all about. The effectiveness of these start-ups will play a major role in determining the long-term success of the Indian robotics industry. We also recommend you to read our cover story on Faith Automation & Tooling, company that specializes in Automation of Car Body Welding Lines to achieve high volume, consistent production.
