Robot Price... Einstein below is not yet for sale - but Robot Pricing continues to fall.
Welcome to Robot Price dot com. In this website - you will find general articles about robots, and specific news items about robot pricing. As robots become more "mainstream" in our everyday lives, we'll be adding all sorts of functionality to this important website - comparing prices for various robot functionality.
Robots are today catagorized in 3 areas - industrial, personal, and service. Industrial robots came first, and are most notably known for automating automobile manufacturing and painting appliances. Personal robots and service robots are an outgrowth of technology learned from industrial applications - giving us products like robot lawnmowers and cow milking machines - examples of personal and service robots.
Industrial Falling robot prices increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes. Japan still remains the most robotized economy, home to around half the current 800,000 industrial robots. By the end of 2007, world industrial robot numbers will likely reach at least 1 million. Europe and North America are increasing their use of industrial robots in record numbers.
Personal The use of robots around the home to mow lawns, vacuum floors and manage other chores is set to surge sevenfold by 2007 (versus 2004) as more consumers snap up smart machines. By the end of 2007, some 4.1 million domestic robots will likely be in use. The major types will be floor cleaners, lawnmowers, pool cleaners, and window cleaners - all single purpose machines. By the end of the decade - multi-purpose robots will be making their way into homes around the globe.
Service There are currently more than 50,000 service robots in use, carrying out tasks such as milking cows, handling toxic waste and even assisting in operating theaters. The number is set to reach a total of 75,000 by 2007.
By the end of the decade, the study said, robots will not only clean our floors, mow our lawns and guard our homes but also routinely assist old and handicapped people with sophisticated interactive equipment, carry out surgery, inspect pipes and sites that are hazardous to people, fight fire and disable or dispose of bombs.
Bookmark www.RobotPrice.com as a great source of information on the emerging world of home robots - where intelligent machines will become more and more a part of our daily lives.
As news items and other relevant articles become available, we will add them to this growing website. Thanks for stopping by.
