Market Overview

Market Overview - Global Intelligent Soft Robotics Market

Automation processes use control systems such as robots and computers to observe and handle processes and machines. Automation in industrial eco-system gives an advantage of enhancing the quality and productivity while limiting the errors, adding flexibility, and increasing safety to the manufacturing process.

Automation gives benefits such as increased consistency of output, improved robustness, and increased predictability of quality, to industries such as healthcare, automobiles, e-commerce, and aviation.

Soft robotics includes all types of compliant systems of a robot, ranging from soft stretchable sensors to soft actuators, soft energy harvesting, and soft electronics, among others. Soft robotics is inspired from the way that living organisms adapt to their surroundings. Contrary to rigid robots, soft robots use flexible materials that allow enhanced adaptability and flexibility for accomplishing delicate tasks, along with increasing safety in work environments.

Soft robots are used in various industries such as automotive, food & beverage, prosthetic, and manufacturing. These robots use soft grippers for handling with delicate objects primarily in food & beverage and e-commerce industries. Moreover, these robots are also used for defense applications such as search and rescue as well as inspection. In the healthcare industry, the use of soft materials in prosthetics fabrication enhances the comfort of the patient.

Growth Factors

Increasing Adoption of Soft Robotics in Search and Rescue Operations to Minimize the Response Time: Soft robotics is a field of robotics that replaces traditional motors and materials with softer materials and pumping oil or air to move robot’s parts. Due to their flexibility in movement through small gaps and holes, soft robots find a significant use in search and rescue operations. Conventionally, rescuers have to dig through the debris and search for people in a collapsed building. On the other hand, soft robots can be used to scan the building and point out the survivors. Soft robots used in this kind of operations consist of a tube, which is made of soft materials and is folded inside itself. The tube is operated by pressurized air pumping into the stationary end. This enables the robot to perform unique kind of movements, along with providing higher degrees of freedom and dexterity.
Growing Automation Resulting in the Adoption of Intelligent Soft Robotics in Food & Beverage (F&B): Intelligent soft robots differ from traditional industrial robots, as their structure is made of malleable materials. These robots are built from a versatile and a proprietary material that enables them to manipulate and grasp items of varying shape, size, and weight. Soft robots used in food & beverage industries are equipped with grippers that are made with soft materials. The soft grippers installed in the robots are used to pick the delicate objects in the same way humans do, thus minimizing the damage. The adoption of robots in the food industry has been significantly growing over the years, as it enhances the operation efficiency and speed. The usage of robots increased in every step of food processing for enhanced operational efficiency. Following is the current percentage usage of robots in the food processing industry.
Soft Robotics in Inspection of Hazardous Environment: Robots are finding a significant value in inspection, sample collection, and cleaning hazardous radiation environment that are inaccessible to humans. As soft robotics are capable of high compliance, body morphing, and absorption of energy during impact, making them competent for operating in extreme conditions. Manufacturers use polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or similar compound in the manufacturing a robot for increased strength and endurance. Soft robots are useful in inspecting hazardous buildings during a disaster, thereby aiding rescue teams. According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), seven people, on an average, die per day, and 38,363 people have lost their lives due to collapse of various structures from 2001-2015.
