Robot Operating System (ROS) Market Analysis
The Robot Operating System (ROS) market is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a catalyst for a robot-filled future. Manufacturers are looking to produce prototypes to respond quickly to new needs and requirements. ROS helps manufacturers in creating and deploy prototypes at a much faster rate.
- Furthermore, ROS can be used in building and simulating robotics applications and unmanned ground vehicle missions. There has been a strong adoption of robots during the pandemic. According to a World Economic Forum survey of 300 global companies, four of five business executives are accelerating plans to digitize work and deploy new technologies, such as AI and Robotics.
- Various robot manufacturers have also seen a spike in the sales of robots. For instance, according to EES corporation, in 2021, the sales of healthcare robots have risen purposed for helping medical professionals. Significant growth of 69% has been noticed worldwide.
- The robot operating system (ROS) developed by Open Source Robotics Foundation is a collection of software and tools that enable building robot applications. The robot operating system market (hereafter referred to as the 'market studied') is characterized by increased global robotics adoption, the requirement for cost-effective and configurable robots, and increased investment being realized from vendors to develop ROS services for their hardware clients.
- According to the International Federation of Robotics, the market for collaborative robots is expected to reach USD 12.3 billion by 2025. Intelligent robots work alongside workers and can be programmed by most factory workers to take on routine, tedious tasks and deliver with accuracy. Additionally, robot manufacturers focus on improving training and programming methods and simulations, replacing older systems with upgraded ones while retaining their proprietaries. Hence, the open source ROS finds its increased adoption.
- Some of the major vendors in the market are collaborating to launch ROS-based technology that enables a new level of performance and collaboration between multiple AMRs with real-time communication. For instance, in February 2022, Northrop Grumman's Remotec announced a strategic partnership today with Kinova, aiming to foster a robust Innovation and Technology (I&T) ecosystem to develop and deploy AI-based applications faster.
