Service Robotics Market Growth Drivers –

Firefighting Robots Enhancing the Scope of R&D 

Fire and disaster management are used to prevent hazardous damage to people and place. These fire intervention techniques demand advanced technological systems, which involve firefighting robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can adapt to the accident occurred. Firefighting & disaster management robots are designed with these advancements that can conduct the search, analyze and locate fires, provide fire control and suppression, and rescue, monitor hazardous variables. On the other hand, mobile robotic firefighting systems similar to remote-controlled vehicles can travel areas, which are unsafe and inaccessible for humans, thereby reduces the number of injuries and fatalities caused by fire. 

Recently, Notre-Dame Cathedral, a historical monument of Paris, caught fire during renovation and restoration. A remote-controlled firefighting robot named Colossus helped the firefighters to save the Notre Dame Cathedral's spire. This Colossus developed by Shark Robotics was designed to operate a fire hose, endure harsh environments, and carry heavy tools in dangerous areas. These incidents are gaining massive traction from the investors, who thrive the growth of R&D in this area.

Demand from Medical Field Upsurge the Growth of the Service Robotics Market

According to the International Federation of Robotics, medical robots sales have risen by 73%, in 2017 compared to 2016, and accounted for a share of 2.7% of total unit sales of professional service robots. Subsequently, medical robots occupy a prominent place in the global service robots market. Their most essential applications in the medical field are patient monitoring, laboratory automation, and drug discovery. These applications enhance the safety and reliability of medical services, resulting in effective and accurate diagnosis of diseases that act as a challenging factor for the healthcare sector. Hence, wide and effective applications of service robots in the medical field are thriving the growth of the service robotics market in the healthcare industry.

RaaS (Robots-as-a-Service) - For Adaptable Business Solutions

With the exponential growth of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI), RaaS models are gaining popularity around the world. They are used in a rental or lease-purchase basis depending upon the requirement of the customers. With RaaS, cloud robots are leaping technological landscape and finding ample amount of opportunities for the growth, as they benefit the small scale and medium scale businesses. Therefore, these advancements in RaaS are amplifying the demand for the service robotics market.

Demand for Domestic Service Robots Fuel the Service Robotics Market Growth –
