Robotics and Autonomous Systems Became a Stronger Adoption Path for Vision

Relationship to Annual Outlook: Strengthens the Outlook

8/9/2021

Summary

Recent evidence shows vision increasingly embedded inside robots, drones, autonomous vehicles and agricultural systems. The Signal is not that robotics vision has become mature everywhere, but that automation platforms are becoming one of the clearest routes for vision adoption.

Supporting Evidence

Automate Vision, Edge AI Vision and Vision Systems Design all show vision appearing inside autonomous systems rather than as standalone inspection stations.
