Description
The cloud robotics market is distinguished from the general field of electromechanical automation through its use of Teleoperation as well as reliance upon various cloud computing technologies such as computing and storage as well as the emerging cloud-based business models enabling Robotics-as-a-Service. In addition, cloud robotics will benefit greatly from edge computing technologies, such as Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), as well as commercial introduction of 5G New Radio (5GNR) technologies based on millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies.
Cloud Robotics Market Dynamics
The combination of robotics, teleoperation, MEC and core cloud technologies is poised to transform enterprise operations, industrial processes, and consumer services across many industry verticals. Both purpose-built and general purpose robotics segments will benefit greatly from cloud operations as well as both terrestrial and aerial robots. In the case of the latter, mass consumerization will occur as end-users become accustomed to autonomous and remote control robots for many different personal services tasks.
The cloud robotics market will usher into existence a much broader array of robotics services. This is due to several factors including much more flexible services execution, reduced operational friction (such as fewer proprietary interfaces), and improved economics through robotics-as-a-service in a cloud-based application model. Initially, industrial and government clients will see the greatest benefit, followed by enterprise in certain leading industry verticals. The cloud robotics market will eventually open up to consumers in a limited manner.
Thanks to 5GNR wireless support, many cloud robotics applications will be untethered and portable, but not highly mobile due to line of sight (LOS) limitations of mmWave propagation. However, LOS will be adequate for many cloud robotics market applications such as those found in military and industrial solutions. Enterprise and government (federal, state, and local) security will be one of the leading cloud robotics market solutions, which will typically be provided on a security-as-a-service basis through managed service robotics companies such as Knightscope, Inc.
One of the important advantages of the cloud robotics market is the ability to make robotics and industrial automation equipment available to a much wider spectrum of users. One of the ways in which this is accomplished is via open APIs, which enable abstraction of the robotics control plane from the application user interface. This means that customers do not need to use proprietary user interfaces for robotic controllers.
One of the other clear advantages of cloud robotics is the ability to democratize access to robots. Accordingly, would-be robot users will benefit from fractional ownership and sharing economy business models. This will have the biggest impact within the industrial segment, and to a lesser degree, enterprise automation.
Cloud Robotics will enable the ability to Operate Robots Remotely by way of Common Infrastructure, Open APIs, and a Wide Range of User Interfaces
While the cloud robotics market for consumers is a more distant proposition, involving much different equipment and use cases, the government sector is anticipated to be an early adopter. This is because many sub-sectors will be able to share the same robotic resources, saving money for federal, state, and local governments.
