…the cloud is a commodity. Companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and others make billions of dollars because they know how to package, deliver, and support that commodity at scale. So it will be with autonomous robots. Execution will drive AMR adoption If all the above factors have only heightened demand for AMRs in sectors like logistics, manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, and pharma, then we should expect a large number of robots to enter service in those sectors. However, I do not expect that robot uptake will be concomitant with demand until we have resolved the product/market fit issue.…
