Robotics

Key challenges for Robotics:

Major Challenges for developers of Robots: 

• Price-competitiveness reducing the barrier of commercializing Robots. 
• Achieve very tight design constraints related to power consumption reduction, accurate motor driving, precise space positioning, reliable actions coordination, real time actions execution and responsiveness.
• Safety and Cybersecurity compliance: Meeting stringent safety standards and regulatory requirements for human-robot interaction.
