　　The latest IDC Worldwide Semiannual Robotics and Drones Spending Guide forecasts Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) spending on robotics (including drones) and associated services to reach USD 129.4 billion by 2022, essentially three times the spending in 2018, with a five-year CAGR of 25.2% during 2017-2022. APEJ tops with the largest market share for robotics applications followed by the United States and Japan. Both are expected to record for more than 61.6% of the world’s entire robotics market in 2022.

　　"To survive the escalating competition, APEJ manufacturing organizations surveyed by IDC in 2018 are putting robotics as their top priority for technology investment," said Dr. Jing Bing Zhang, Research Director for Worldwide Robotics at IDC. “While the uncertainty of the trade war between the United States and China is likely to dampen the market growth in the near term, we expect the growth trend to pick up from 2020 onward.”

　　Discrete and process manufacturing are the dominant industries in robotics (including drones) spending, which turns over 58.1% of the overall spend in APEJ in 2019. Largely, welding and assembling use cases in discrete manufacturing, whilst pick and pack, and bottling use cases in process manufacturing are driving the robotics spend in 2019. However, customer deliveries, vegetable seeding and planting are the drone use cases which we expect to grow at fast pace with a five-year CAGR 126.4% and CAGR 112.1% respectively over the forecast period (2017-22).

　　“There has been an intensive wave of industrial automation for which robotics and drones provide a major base; hence attracting investments with each passing year. Under Robotics, despite Manufacturing being a dominant industry in this area, investments will continue to increase in resource industry, retail, construction, among others,“ said Swati Chaturvedi, Senior Market Analyst at IDC.

　　“On the other hand, drones, which are majorly a consumer-oriented technology, are gaining momentum in its industrial usage by enterprises and governments alike for tasks as mundane as filmmaking and inspection or as complex as agricultural uses, mining operations assistance, and insurance assessment.”

　　From a technology perspective, hardware purchases related spending on robotics systems (including drones) in APEJ, which includes industrial, service and consumer robots and after-market hardware, is forecast to grow to $81.0 billion in 2022.

　　China accounts largest market share in the Asia Pacific robotics (including drones) market. Its spending on robotics is expected to reach $80.5 billion, representing 62.2% of APEJ region's total spending in 2022.

New standards provide public assurance on safety, security and etiquette for use of drones

　　The first ever worldwide standards for the drone industry are being released by the International Standards Organisation (ISO).　　After several years of global collaboration between standards institutions from across the world, the long-awaited drone standards have been developed.　　These regulations are expected to trigger rapid acceleration of growth within the drone industry as organisations throughout the world are galvanised to adopt drone technology against a new background of reassurance on safety and security. The new standards will play an essential role in guiding how drones are used safely and effectively in a framework of regulatory compliance.　　The ISO Draft International Standards for Drone Operations have been formally released today (21 November 2018) for public consultation, with drone professionals, academics, businesses and the general public being invited to submit comments by 21 Jan 2019. Final adoption of these Standards can be expected in the US, UK and worldwide next year.　　The announcement is the first important step in the standardisation of the global drone industry, encompassing applications for all environments - surface, underwater, air and space. Today’s standards are particularly significant for the general public and Government, in that they address Operational Requirements of the more recognised and prevalent aerial drones, including protocols on safety, security and overall etiquette for the use of drones, which will shape regulation and legislation going forward. They are the first in a four part series for aerial drones, with the next three addressing General Specifications, Manufacturing Quality and Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM).　　Air safety　　A prime characteristic of the ISO Standards announced today, is their focus on air safety, which is at the forefront of public attention in connection with airports and other sensitive locations. The new standards act as a new etiquette for drones which promote and reinforce compliance regarding no-fly zones, local regulation, flight log protocols, maintenance, training and flight planning documentation. Social responsibility is also at the heart of the standards, strengthening the responsible use of a technology that aims to improve and not obstruct everyday life. The effectiveness of the standards in improving air safety will be further strengthened by the rapid development of geo-fencing and of counter-drone technology, providing frontline protection against ‘rogue’ drone use.　　Privacy and data protection　　The standards are also set to address public concerns surrounding privacy and data protection, demanding that operators must have appropriate systems to handle data alongside communications and control planning when flying. The hardware and software of all related operating equipment must also be kept up to date. Significantly, the fail-safe of human intervention is required for all drone flights, including autonomous operations, ensuring that drone operators are accountable.

IDC TechScape Assesses Technologies Related to Adoption of Service Robotics

　　Worldwide Service Robotics, 2018 (IDC #US42954518), which provides a systematic assessment of technologies related to the adoption of service robotics. Robotic technology has evolved from a technology used predominantly within industrial manufacturing to a technology that now has applicability across a much wider set of industries and use cases. When thinking about this evolution, IDC considers the role of other technology areas that have helped drive innovation in the field of robotics. This new report is intended to help senior executives assess their organization's technology landscape to determine whether their efforts are aligned with analyst's assessment of the industry's overall technology adoption progress.　　Across industries, companies are looking at the viability of robots as a mechanism to support process improvement, drive productivity and efficiency gains, support cost management, and offset labor related challenges that appear to be hindering business process effectiveness in some industries. While some robotic applications are designed to solve a very specific business problem, other robotic technology has been built with the flexibility to be applied across different business processes and industries.　　The IDC TechScape provides a visual representation of the process of technology adoption, dividing technologies into three major categories (Transformational, Incremental, and Opportunistic) based on their impact on the organization and assessing the technologies relative to adoption levels within their respective categories. Technologies evaluated in the new report include 3D printing, artificial intelligence, autonomous guided vehicles, exoskeletons, and virtual reality.　　IDC expects that executives responsible for information technology strategies will use the IDC TechScape model to:　　Assess the progress of their own technology adoption efforts in comparison with the industry overall.　　Identify new technologies that should be added for consideration in their technology road map.　　Add new insights to increase the robustness of their own technology decision frameworks.　　"The use of robotics in nontraditional applications is growing as technology innovators continue to push the envelope on what a robot is capable of doing," said John Santagate, research director, Service Robots at IDC. "Service robots have not evolved on their own; the current state of service robots has been enabled by the maturity of several other related technology areas that have helped to deliver robots with greater and more versatile skill sets than previous generations of robotics."

Robot Changes Skins to Change Its Moves

　　MIT has invented a robot that swaps out water-soluble, recyclable exoskeletons to perform different tasks by walking, rolling on wheels, gliding, or floating. Daniela Rus, director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), led the engineering team that developed the robot, dubbed Primer.　　Although robots that can change their form or function have been created at larger sizes, building smaller-scale self-reconfiguring robots is difficult, partly because of the size and weight of onboard electronics. The cube-shaped Primer robot is controlled remotely via magnets. Its exoskeletons, or skins, are heat-activated, rectangular plastic sheets that self-fold into different shapes to customize the robot for various tasks. Immersion in water dissolves the exoskeleton after Primer completes the job.　　Primer’s technology derives from previous projects by Rus’ team, including centimeter-long, “origami” microrobots that can be precisely customized from sheets of plastic, as well as magnetic blocks that assemble themselves into different shapes. Other CSAIL self-assembling robotics projects have included tiny robotic pebbles that self-assemble to duplicate an object when it’s placed inside a pile of them.　　The idea behind Primer and other self-reconfiguring robots is to give a single machine the ability to perform multiple functions, instead of requiring a separate robot for each task. The team plans to add more modes, such as burrowing in sand, driving through water, and camouflaging the robot’s color. “I can imagine one day being able to customize robots with different arms and appendages,” said Rus in a statement. “Why update a whole robot when you can just update one part of it?”　　Modular, self-reconfiguring robots, and even self-assembling/reassembling robots, have been developed at other university labs, including the University of Pennsylvania’s Modular Robotics Laboratory, the University of Southern California’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems Center, the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Georgia Robotics and Intelligent Systems (GRITS) Laboratory, and Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute.

Roomba’s Father Says Robots Will Evolve

Roomba’s Father Says Robots Will Evolve

　　Industrial robots are poised for change.　　They will become more integrated, easy to use and widely deployed, especially in China, which is emerging as a center of robotics innovation. Large fulfillment operations run by the likes of Alibaba and Amazon will be drivers in the next stage of their growth.　　Those were some of the views of Rodney Brooks, a robotics pioneer and current chairman and CTO of Rethink Robotics, speaking in a keynote at an event here.　　Today more than half the cost of a factory robot goes to systems integrators who configure it with sensors and train it, typically writing custom programs and generating proprietary data that stays on the factory floor.　　By contrast, tomorrow’s industrial robots will come with integrated sensors and computer vision. They will be trained without elaborate coding on open platforms that send their data to cloud services. And widely used programmable logic computers (PLCs) will become “art projects,” Brooks predicted.　　“Today’s business model is going away…We are in an industry where deployment speed is like molasses, but it’s not going to be like that forever,” he said.　　Brooks imagined a future where untethered robots, respond to voice commands, freeing their supervisors from today’s interactions via scripting languages. “In the last five years, we have seen a tremendous increase in functionality in speech systems…speech is going to be fine in factories,” he said.　　“The robot industry is squarely stuck in the 20th century…[but] there are so many little startups coming along that things are going to happen, so start worrying because hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs are coming,” he told an audience of several hundred industrial robot builders.　　China alone has several hundred robotics startups today. They are fueled by a government industrial policy that wants to maintain China’s standing as a global manufacturing center.  Robots are also seen as key to dealing with a labor shortage for factory jobs where turnover rates vary from 16-30 percent, Brooks said.　　“A lot of these China startups are low-end manufacturers of cheaper light industrial robots with six-degrees of freedom, dragging prices down so it’s hard for U.S. and European companies to compete there… we can scoff at their level of innovation, but it’s only a matter of time before it increases,” he said.　　So far, promises of millions of robots on Foxconn lines in China have not come true, in part due to the challenges with programming today’s robots, said Brooks, who had his original Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners made by toy manufacturers in Shenzhen. With 20 million units sold, the Roomba became the largest selling robot to date.　　Giant fulfillment operations run by the likes of Alibaba and Amazon will also be big drivers for next-gen robots, probably using machine learning.　　“Amazon Robotics employs 700 people just in Boston, but the robots can’t do pick or pack operations, so they are hiring every Christmas,” Brooks said, noting Amazon funds a university challenge for robots that pack.　　“These fulfillment centers have an incredible need for pick and pack operations where every package is unique. That will drive development in robotic arms in ways we haven’t seen and that will in turn impact factory automation in ways we can’t predict,” he said, calling it a “tremendous” demand that “will disintermediate many people in robotics.”　　One of the big challenges ahead is dealing with safety, an issue for which the Robotics Industry Association hosting the event has set up several working groups.　　Rethink’s own robots currently set payload and velocity constraints as a first step toward safety, but that won’t work for factories that need heavy loads handled quickly. Some companies are now using external cameras and controls to monitor and manage robots, but more solutions are needed, Brooks said.　　Long term, an aging population may demand “speech-controlled robots that help you in and out of bed — that’s an incredible driver of safety,” he said.　　Rethink’s current robotic arms already embed cameras, force sensors and smarts to learn and remember actions. “We can’t do all the things high-end PLCs do, but we can do a lot of it,” he said.　　Another big change will be a move to wireless networking on the factory floor, he predicted“Many of our customers don’t have any network on the factory floor and many keep their data walled off…Wireless is changing things rapidly, there will be a whole different set of infrastructure and policies for what comes on and off the factory floor,” he said.　　Unlike startup Embodied Intelligence, recently launched by Berkeley robotics researchers, Brooks does not believe VR headsets will find wide use as an interface to robots. Instead, he sees supervisors monitoring and managing automated factories with tablets.
