Primary Research - Robotics

Robots find its application in areas where accuracy and consistency are critical to the job process.

Industrial robots are used in industries where repetitive monotonous tasks need to be done on a daily basis and in sectors that need to deal with harsh working environments.

Industry Overview - Robotics

By 2015, the global robotics industry is estimated to be worth $17.6 billion with the Indian robotics industry worth approximately $750 million and is expected to double over the next three to four years.

It is said widely that everybody who is consuming computing technology will want to consume robotics technology in some way in the coming decades.

Indian industries have realized the importance of industrial robots, and are willing to make substantial investments, as the cost of skilled labour is rising, and production processes are getting speeded up without compromising quality standards.

It was noted in 2008 and 2009 that reduced manufacturing activities and declines in industrial production, temporarily derailed the immediate need and requirement for new industrial robotic products and equipment. This clearly indicates the sensitivity of the robotics industry to the health of the automotive, consumer goods, semi-conductor and electronics, and rubber and plastic industries.

Industry Overview – Solar Cooker

• RNCOS, market research and information analysis company, in its recent report titled, “Indian Solar Energy Market Outlook 2012”, studies the latest trends in the industry by utilizing inputs from the state and central regulatory background of the country. According to the report, the solar cookers in India will witness a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6% in 2010-2013. The report quotes that the Solar Cookers International has rated India as the foremost country with abundant solar cooking potential.

SWOT Analysis – LED Lighting Systems

Strengths: > Cost Effective

> Environment friendly Technology> Use less energy(lower Watt: Eg 1 LED uses 10W & 1 > LED tubelight(20W) compared to CFL(60 W) and tubelights(100W))—less than

half> Mostly use solar energy

> Higher life(eg: Life of 1 LED 10 yrs where as life of 1 CFL 1 yr)

Weakness:> More expensive(1 led = 3times price

of CFL)

Opportunity:> The LED torch can replace current torch and is more effective and also

multipurpose(can b used as table light also)

> LED lights/fans can be used where electricity is not there now as it will be supported by small solar panels which

can be fitted on their roofs

Threats:> Unless govt provides subsidy for Solar energy, its commercialization is a litle

difficult and costly> It takes time for people to adapt and start

using new technolgy (eg: some people still use incandescent

lamps even though CFLs are more efficient and commercial)

10Team Renegade

SWOT Analysis – Solar Cooker

Strengths:> Environment friendly Technology;

uses solar energy> Foldable

> Easy to carry while traveling> Made of cloth; so light weight &

easy to clean

Weakness:> Expensive

> Takes 3 hours to make simple food such as dal-

rice

Opportunity:> Great for travelers

> Foldable and made of cloth; so will attract people who are currently using bulky wooden

solar cookers

Threats:> Very few people prefer to

carry cooking equipment while travelling

11Team Renegade

SWOT Analysis - Robotics

Strengths:> Lower price by giving only certain

parts of the robot body(like only hands for bottling industry for

putting caps on the bottle) > Has sensors; so will be able to

sense the product around it

Weakness:> Sensors can send some particular objects and not

all things around them

Opportunity:> Can be used in industry where working condition are not good enough for

human health

Threat:> Robotics technology is more expensive than manual labour; labour-rich economies like India

might be hesitant in adopting this technology

12Team Renegade

The Way Forward for Robotics

There is a need to create awareness among the users and consumers of this technology

Policy support from the government is also needed to provide an impetus to the industry

Being an agricultural nation, India has vast opportunities in automating agricultural related activities

Industry is facing manpower shortage in the robotics and automation industry due to lack of specialized studies in the domain.

Absence of concrete robotics standards are often sensed as hindrance to the growth.

Since the Indian demand for robotics is contingent on the manufacturing sector, it is important to keep overseas customers.

13Team Renegade

The Way Forward for PV LEDs - Cooker Technology improvements are needed in a lot of areas. For eg. Solar

system mounting should be designed to tolerate the shock and vibration that is normally encountered in roadway and area lighting applications, especially on bridges.

The DOE Federal Energy Management Program Greening Guidebook recommends PV lighting be considered for remote sites not yet served by power lines, and for locations that require low levels of light and that are more than 50 feet from a power sources (e.g., signs and bus shelter lights). Similar policies are needed to be implemented globally

LED products can be widely used in landscape lighting, security lighting, special lighting and general lighting and other areas, the market potential for which is tremendous. The right customers need to be targeted.

Go Green Tip : Consider telecommuting if you live far from your work.

Or move closer. Even if this means paying more rent, it could save you money in the long term.
