Which Robotics Companies Are At the Forefront of Innovation?

Robotics is the intersection of science, engineering and technology that produces machines and robots that help, assist, substitute or replicate human actions.

There are standard Robotics (Operator interface, Mobility or locomotion, Manipulators & Effectors, Programming, Sensing & Perception), RPA (automation software) and AI robotics (hardware and software).

The list of the first one includes

• Nuro
• CANVAS Technology
• Piaggio Fast Forward
• Diligent Robotics
• Boston Dynamics
• Bluefin Robotics
• Applied Aeronautics
• Left Hand Robotics
• Righthand Robotics
• Dronesense
• Harvest Automation
• Rethink Robotics
• Vicarious 

AI robotics covers a wide specter from robotaxis, as Tesla robo-taxi, to drones to humanoids, with the human-like artificial brain.

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes).

The UAV is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems, onboard sensors and GPS. Military drones are used for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering and advanced weapons platforms.

Humanoid robots are used for research and space exploration, personal assistance and caregiving, education and entertainment, search and rescue, manufacturing and maintenance, public relations, and healthcare. The humanoid robots of CloudMinds Technology disinfect, measure temperatures, deliver food and medicine, and entertain medical staff and patients.

Some companies are using artificial intelligence robot technology:

• Canvas Technology
• DroneSense
• iRobot
• Miso Robotics
• Neurala
• Rethink Robotics
• Diligent Robotics
• Boston Dynamics
