Robotics in Consumer - Value Chain Analysis
There are three core segments in the robotics value chain which are robot manufacturers, robot brains, and robotic components.
Robot Manufacturers: The different types of robot manufacturers are industrial (caged) robots, co-bots, logistics robots, medical robots, consumer robots, autonomous vehicles, military drones, and commercial drones. Industrial robots are typically housed in safety cages as they lack sensory intelligence, making them too dangerous to be placed near workers for fear of injury. China is the key growth driver for the industrial robot sector and the automotive industry remains the biggest user of industrial robots.
