DECEMBER 2021CIOAPPLICATIONSEUROPE.COM6EditorialHuman-Like Assistance Delivered Through RobotsNew markets will almost certainly see an increase in robotics use over the next few years. Consumer/retail, healthcare, automotive, and electronics are the most likely industries to use robotics and automation systems. These industries will most likely combine robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). All of these new fields will necessitate the development of more people with robotics training and education. Large retail and consumer firms adopting robotics to add flexibility to meet market dynamics are already reaping the benefits from it. Additionally, robotics will also be used to address labour shortages more frequently, and it will continue to evolve with the addition of sensors, cameras, and flying capabilities (e.g., drones). Moreover, with the likes of AI entering into the picture, robots can perform tasks and processes intelligently as AI advances.Various functionalities can be added to robotics to improve their efficiency and effectiveness using AI or machine learning. As a result, artificial intelligence and robots will continue to advance in industries such as healthcare, agriculture, automotive, warehousing, and supply chain management. In 2022, the most important prediction for artificial intelligence is the contactless service; certain important lessons have been learnt from the pandemic scenario, including contact-less purchasing, working from remote locations, and social distancing, among others. Conclusively, the focus of AI-powered robots for the future will be on contactless experiences.Our editorial board at CIOApplications Europe has analyzed the most popular trends of the year to assist industry leaders in manoeuvring in the right direction when adopting Robotics solutions.
