…distributors, these startups have also ventured into Europe, South Korea, and Japan. “The high labor cost and the quick time-to-market have driven U.S. manufacturers to be more aggressive with the adoption of industrial AI solutions. This has given birth to pure-play AI players in the US, and as such, keeps the US to be the global leader in industrial AI solutions. Over time, however, we believe that China will catch up. The investments poured into AI and all its adjacencies, such as 5G and robotics, will create new opportunities for domestic companies that focus on AI in industrial manufacturing and…

…chosen economies (the US, Germany, UK, France, Japan, South Korea, and Australia) will be hardest hit by the ongoing automation of the manufacturing sector. Since 2010, the global stock of robots in the industry has more than doubled: as many robots were installed in the past four years as over the eight previous. Robotics in China China presents a big opportunity for growth in automation. China already accounts for a fifth of the world’s industrial robots, with every third new one being installed there. Beijing “is investing in robots to position itself as the global manufacturing leader,” Oxford Economics said.…

…from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, ASML Korea Co., Dongguk University-Seoul, Sungkyunkwan University and the University of Oxford have developed a tactile sensor that aims to measure surface textures with high accuracy. The device consists of an array of piezoelectric receptors, which generate electrical responses proportional to applied stress, enabling it to identify surface characteristics of objects, such as width and pitch. The sensor offers a number of features that differentiate it from similar existing sensors. For one, it mimics the way that humans sense surface characteristics, detecting tactile information by touch and sliding. Most competing technologies use…

…to 75% (2011-2016). North America, China, the Republic of Korea and Europe were target export destinations. The Japanese imports of robots were extremely low, only about 1% of installations. Thus, foreign robot suppliers did not achieve a high sales volume in Japan. The home market has strongly recovered since the financial crisis in 2009 and reached 39,000 units, the highest level since 2006 (37,000 units). The automotive industry is the largest destination market for industrial robots in Japan with a share of 36% of the total supply. Car manufacturers bought 48% more industrial robots than in 2015 (2016: 5,711 units).…
