The First Phase Of Robotics In The Home

July 16, 2015

New research from Parks Associates reports that more than 6 percent of U.S. broadband homes currently own a robotic vacuum cleaner and adoption will exceed 11 percent by 2020. Home robots are emerging as a new category within the connected home and Internet of Things by focusing on single tasks that provide a compelling value proposition for consumers.

Robotic floor cleaners are the first phase of the consumer robotics market, which will gradually expand to include healthcare, home controls, toys, and education. The ultimate home robot will perform various tasks by mimicking human thought processes and movement. However, significant engineering challenges make it difficult for manufacturers to produce such a robot during the near-term.
