Conclusion • Industrial robotics: 2011 most successful year ever, however only smallgrowth (~2.3%) in EU expected in standard applications. • New trends create additional opportunities of using industrial robots. • Service robots on the rise in 2011 (and beyond): 4.56bn (professional SR, +9.2%) + 0.64bn (domestic SR, +14.6%) US$5.2bn sales (IR: 8.5). • Professional service robotics: • Strong European position • Strong components base enabling professional service robots designs • However, extensive SW-costs constitute a major risk in SR development • Domestic service robots: still relatively weak EU position.
