robots seem to be everywhere & spreading, must be an investment out there somewhere...


The gentle rise of the machines

Mar 11th 2004 From The Economist print edition

There are now about 800,000 industrial robots around the world, and orders for new robots in the first half of 2003 were up a record 26% from the same period in 2002, according to the UNECE. Demand is increasing as prices fall: a robot sold in 2002 cost less than a fifth of an equivalent robot sold in 1990, for example. Today, in car factories in Japan, Germany and Italy, there is more than one robot for every ten production workers.

Similarly, agricultural robots harvest billions of tonnes of crops every year. There are six-legged timber cutters, tree-climbing fruit-pickers, robots that milk cows, and others that wash windows, trucks and aircraft. Industrial robotics is a $5.6 billion industry, growing by around 7% a year. But the UNECE report predicts that the biggest growth over the next three years will be in domestic rather than industrial robots. Sales of such devices, it predicts-from toys to lawnmowers to, yes, vacuum cleaners-will grow ten-fold between 2002 and 2006, overtaking the market for industrial robots.

The broader application of robotics is becoming possible thanks to the tumbling cost of computing power, says Takeo Kanade of Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, who has built robots on both sides of the Pacific. This lets programmers write more sophisticated software that delivers more intelligent robotic behaviour. At the same time, he notes, the cost of camera and sensor chips has tumbled too. "The processing power is so much better than before that some of the seemingly simple things we humans do, like recognizing faces, can begin to be done," says Dr Kanade.

Interesting E as always.

But you would need a breakthrough in AI to make the project/investment viable in my opinion. In other words a self aware AI capable of exercising judgement, knowledge, and the ability to learn from its experiences

In fact AI is something I sort of look out for because it would be the first genuine "new thing" to emerge since Windows, the Internet, and broadband.

NAMES of companies in this sector??

Chicago, Year 2035. The people who own stock in U.S. Robotics Corp., whose headquarters forms a distinctive pinnacle in the Chicago skyline, are among the wealthiest people in America. The company is now introducing its latest line of NS-5 humanoid robots, one robot for every four American households. America is obviously in the process of becoming completely transformed by robotics. However, there is a dark side. U.S Robotics calls in a detective to investigate the murder of a robot scientist. Very shortly the detective begins to suspect the culprit to be a robot.

...And so the story goes in the sci-fi detective action adventure flick I, Robot released in July 2004. Actually the more sobering robot story has already taken place. Sony released its QRIO humanoid robot in Sept 2003. This is a lot more than just another cute and friendly "entertainment" robot. Not surprisingly, most Americans failed to notice, just like most Americans seem perpetually oblivious to their country's out-of-control debt growth and balance of trade deficits.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overall perspective regarding an incredibly vital and strategic emerging industry. Most mobile robot companies today are privately held, therefore hot stock tips will have to wait. But it is by no means too early to address more general questions. Does I, Robot create a misleading impression of the future "promise" of robotics?

Where is robotics today? Where might it be in five to ten years? Where are businessmen likely to make money in this business in the near future?
