For example, manufacturing robots produced by companies like FANUC and ABB have traditionally been very expensive.  But that is changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production costs for robots have dropped considerably and a greater variety of robotic software is now available from the cloud.  This combination of factors has made the Robotics as a Service (RaaS) model increasingly attractive. A survey by Allied Market Research estimates that <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2019\/06\/30\/the-rise-of-robots-as-a-service\/\">the RaaS market will reach $34.7 billion by 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" src=\"http:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2-1024x517.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2-1024x517.png 1024w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2-768x388.png 768w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-2.png 1086w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/insights.rlist.io\/p\/report-robot-as-service-monetization.html\">From: Business Models that Work for Robot-as-a-Service Companies in 2019 by Gary Yates<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RaaS is particularly well suited to take on highly repetitive jobs or jobs that are physically demanding or dangerous.
