With the continuous advancement of technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence and new materials, the distance for service robots to enter the home has been greatly shortened, and the era of service robots is coming. The new blue ocean in the era of networking.
According to the classification of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), robots are generally divided into industrial robots and service robots. Service robots are various advanced robots other than industrial robots that are used in non-manufacturing industries and serve humans, mainly including personal/home service robots and professional service robots.
The challenges faced by industrial robots and industrial robots are very different. Industrial robots work in a factory environment and the environment is controlled, so more emphasis is placed on motion accuracy, while service robots are unstructured as civilians. The working environment is in thousands of households and changes all the time, requiring robots to be intelligent enough to adapt to the environment. For movements, it is not to be precise, but to understand the meaning of the movements.
The global service robot market size was around $6 billion in 2014, while it reached $8.5 billion in 2015. Analysts predict that the global service robot market will grow at a growth rate of 13% from 2016 to 2020, and the global service robot market will reach nearly 16 billion US dollars by 2020.
