Robotics relies on critical technologies to enable greater precision, automation and intelligent decision-making in complex environments. These technologies support systems that can adapt, respond and perform with increasing accuracy, efficiency and reliability.
Perception
Imaging and sensing systems allow robots to interpret the world around them, providing the ‘eyes’ of our future automated systems.
Robotic networks
Advances in high-speed communication technologies are allowing robots to communicate more effectively, creating ‘automated teams’ that can work on shared tasks.
Movement/speed
Semiconductors underpin rapid data processing and real-time feedback that allows precise movement control for advanced manufacturing applications.
Safety
Critical technologies are vital to the safe implementation of robotic systems, underpinning sensing systems that allow robots to work safely alongside human partners.
Security
Quantum encryption will secure robotic networks, ensuring that potentially dangerous systems are protected from malicious interference.
