The India Story

Auto companies, food, logistics, healthcare and entertainment are using robots extensivelyAbout 400-500 industrial robots are sold in India annuallyMaruti Suzuki, with about 650 robots on its lines, has India’s largest robotic installation. Gurgaon-based KUKA Robotics has sold about 450 robots to Tata Motors and Volkswagen. Robots worth about Rs 3,500 crore are estimated to have been sold so far.

Apollo Hospital in Chennai and HealthCare Global Enterprises in Bangalore have installed robotic cyber-knives to operate on cancerous tumours.

Domestic Robots

“Task robots and entertainment robots will be the major growth categories in personal robotics. Task robots are useful for repetitive tasks like vacuuming, cleaning your swimming pool, etc,” says Larry Fisher, Research Director, NextGen Research.

Industrial Robots

Today, industrial applications comprise a majority of the robotics business. Last year, industrial robots commanded a market share of $11.5 billion. According to a report by BCC Research, this is expected to creep up to $12.1 billion by 2014.

Doctor Bots

The price of the da Vinci system ranges from $0.7 million to $2.3 million, depending on the model and configuration. Yet, Intuitive Surgical—the $260 million-plus company that makes da Vinci—claims to have sold 1,171 units worldwide.

The Soldiers

Military robotics is the third-largest market segment in robotics. Last year, it generated $917 million in revenues, a figure that is expected to rise to $1.6 billion in 2014

The Future …

Developments related to robotics from the 2030 report :2013-2014 — agricultural robots (AgRobots). 2013-2017 — robots that care for the elderly 2017 — medical robots performing low-invasive surgery 2017-2019 — household robots with full use. 2019-2021 — Nanorobots 2021-2022 — Transhumanism

According to research commissioned by the UK Office of Science and Innovation's Horizon Scanning Centre , robots could one day demand the same citizen's rights as humans. The study also warns that the rise of robots could put a strain on resources and the environment.
