Robots are gaining popularity fast. \u00a0IDC says that <\/a>global spending on robotics and services are expected to climb to $135.4 billion by 2019 from $71 billion in 2015. \u00a0In particular, strong growth is expected in Asia and Japan where 65 percent of the spending will occur.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Ray Kurzweil <\/a>wrote in 2001 that technology is rapidly transforming the world into one that will be very different even in just a few decades f<\/a>rom the one that we currently live in. \u00a0\u00a0He wrote that <\/a>“we won\u2019t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century \u2014 it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today\u2019s rate).” \u00a0Robots, Big Data, Machine Learning, Mobile, the Cloud… — these are just of the few components that are driving the rapid change.<\/p>\n

Dr Jing Bing Zhang<\/a>, Robotics \u00a0research director at IDC said that “robotics is one of the core technologies that is enabling significant change in manufacturing through factory of the future initiatives.\u00a0While traditionally used in the automotive industry, there is an increasing adoption of robotics in sectors like electronics, retail, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, services, education, and government.\u00a0Such broad-based growth in robotic adoption is being driven by increasing labour costs, shortage of skilled labuor, and an increasing emphasis on repeatable quality in conjunction with a reduction in prices of robotic systems and strategic national initiatives.”<\/p>\n
