February 6, 2001
ActivMedia Research, LLC (www.ActivMediaResearch.com) - Today Mobile Robotics are where personal computers were in the early 1980s, poised for proliferation, with more than 1600% growth in units and nearly 2500% growth in dollars expected over the next five years. Sales are expected to soar from $665 million in 2000 to more than $17 billion in the same time frame. Technologies are such that decades of labor in artificial intelligence, sensing, navigation, communications and response are beginning to bear fruit in the form of practical mobile robots.
