Do you think robotics is out of your league? Think again


 Do you think robots are limited to car factories and therefore out of their reach? Think again. Your next caramel iced mocha latte could come from a robotic barista.

 Your coffee is ready

Of course, automakers are heavy users of robotics. But robots are also used in a wide range of activities and in many industries. These include healthcare, #$ food and beverage, logistics, military, and retail. Given the current labor shortage, others are likely to emerge.

And if you are new to robotics, there are many aids available to you.

Large and fast growing

The global robotics market is large and growing rapidly.

Looking ahead, Mordor imagines global robotics sales to reach $ 74.1 billion by 2026. That's a 5-year compound annual growing rate (CAGR) of 17.5%.

In fact, the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the demand for some robots. One supplier, UBTech, now offers a disinfectant robot that uses ultraviolet light to clean surfaces and air by neutralizing the genetic material of harmful pathogen. The robots is already being used by the Delaware State Department of Education, among others.

Different shots

Everyone has seen pictures of the arm-shaped robots used in factories. But that is only the tip of a large iceberg. Robots are also available for silicon wafer handling, autonomous navigation, customer service, material handling, and even individual use.

There are also independent mobile robots that move and collect information with sensors and cameras. "Cobots" that share spaces with human workers. And humanoid robots that take human forms and perform functions such as assistance behind the wheel.

Increasingly, robots interact directly with people. Intel Mexico and El Palacio de Hierro, a high-end retailer in Mexico City, Business process improvement recently introduced a robotic store assistant. Based on Intel technology, the robot roams the aisles of the store to answer questions from shoppers.

 Intel robotic shop assistant

Intel's retail robot also has an antibacterially coated touch screen in the middle of its body that a shoppers can use to select products. The robot can then direct the buyer to the appropriate section of the store or put them in touch with a human sales specialist.

Get expert help

If all of this sounds exciting to you, you can get help from an Intel expert. The company is investing heavily in robotics and related technologies, and looks forward to working with partners.

Here are some of Intel's offerings for robotics:

> Real-time systems: hardware-level software and reference system for the development of real-time applications for robotic solutions

> AI: Machine Learning, Inference and Computer Vision Technology for Robots

> Industrial-grade computing - rugged computers that can withstand hazardous conditions and extreme temperatures

> Hardware - including IoT processors, FPGAs, and network communication technology

> Software development tools: including Intel Edge Software Hub, Intel OpenVINO Toolkit distribution, and Intel DevCloud

> API - Traditional programmable logic controllers and software commonly used in robotics and industrial automation applications
