Trends in robotics

There are more than enough highly active areas in robotics today to keep all of us busy for a while. Let us take a quick look at some of the current trends and areas that might become even more important soon (in no particular order).

ML/AI

Data-driven methods (ML or AI) have transformed robot perception and made their way into robot control, and impressive progress is still being made by researchers all over the world. With ever more powerful Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s GPT-3, and their astonishingly broad-ranging capabilities, it seems likely that ML will continue to have a significant impact on the field of robotics. We may soon see robots that are more autonomous and can react smarter and more independently to unforeseen and challenging situations than is currently possible, thanks to advances in this area.

Cloud robotics

Most robots to date are independent actors. The idea behind cloud robotics is to connect robots over...
