ADVANCED ROBOTICS AN INDUSTRY WITH A $ TRILLION POTENTIAL IMPACT

  In a study defining the top 12 disruptive technologies of the future, McKinsey Global Institute estimates that the advanced robotics could generate a potential economic impact of $1.7T - $4.5T per year by 2025.

  Other disruptive technologies strongly related to robotics are also discussed including, autonomous vehicles, the Internet of Things, Cloud technology and 3D printing.


Defined by James Moore in 1996, the concept of a business ecosystem is now widely adopted in the high-‐tech community. It consists in an economic community of actors, who coevolve their capabiliAes and roles, and align themselves toward a shared vision. More and more countries are defining robo6cs as strategic for their economy and define their roboAcs roadmaps.

WORLD ROBOTICS: A BROAD DYNAMIC ECOSYSTEM TAKING LIFE


Europe is now shaping its robotics business ecosystem with the Public Private Partnership (SPARC) with the European Commission, entrepreneurial innovations and a top-flight research & education and industry network. Investors are progressively integrating the emerging ecosystem.

WORLD ROBOTICS: A BROAD DYNAMIC ECOSYSTEM TAKING LIFE

In Asia, the dynamic started about 10 years ahead of us with strategic governmental planning in Japan and Korea. Taiwan and Singapore, each with their specificities, are part of the ecosystem. The pace is accelerating with the entry of China in the competitive race. Malaysia and India are looking into developing their robotics roadmaps.

In the USA, although the Silicon valley is claiming its cluster’s strength, the East coast is still leading the robotics innovations. Venture capitalists are now keen in investing in hardware. Robotics dedicated incubators are flourishing : Massachussetts created Massrobotics, Startbot is an independent accelerator, Qualcom started its robotics incubator, etc.

  +12% in 2013 with 178K units sold worldwide.

  Automotive is still the main driver (40% of robot sales), but new industries are equipping with robots: electric/electronic production; plastic & rubber industry; food industry

  China became the biggest robot market with a share of 20% of the total supply in 2013


KEY FIGURES FOR SERVICE ROBOTICS 2013

-‐  A $5,2 billion market in 2013 -‐ High growth rate expected : $7,4 billion in 2017


ASIA : N°1 REGION FOR 2013 INDUSTRIAL ROBOT PURCHASE

  The People’s Republic of China became the biggest robot market in 2013 with 21% of total worldwide industrial robot purchase.

Korea is the world N°1 country for robot density

  Japan is still the most important robot supplier to the rest of the world.

  Singapore is shaping its vision of smart cities and the convergence of technologies IOT and robotics for professional service robotics

  Malaysia should announce robotics initiatives in 2015 within the overall national plan.

India isn’t structured yet apart from a robotic scientific group. Education in robotics seems to be the way forward for the government.


USA : EAST AND WEST COAST

ARE RACING FOR ROBOTICS LEADERSHIP

  Top notch researchers are setting up spin-offs with a real business approach. They reach rapidly ready-to-market product stage

  Enthusiasm of investors for robotics □  Genesis Angels: a new $100M Fund For AI And Robotics; Massachusetts

  Europe is a major market in industrial robotics worldwide   n°1 in robot density for the general industries   n°2 industrial robots buyer worldwide in 2013   30% of robots in operations worldwide are in Europe

FOCUS ON EUROPE


EUROPE IS N°1 IN ROBOT DENSITY FOR THE GENERAL INDUSTRIES

  Robot density varies greatly per country and whether you consider all industries or automotive only

  China robot density is 30 in 2013, but raises to 281 in the automotive industry only.


EUROPE: THE N°2 INDUSTRIAL ROBOT BUYER WORLDWIDE

IN 2013   Total sales of industrial robots in 2013 = 178 K units (+12%)

  Asia dominates notably thanks to China, Japan and Republic of Korea

  Europe is N°2 industrial robot buyer with 1/4 of worldwide purchases

Average growth rate in the past 5 years is 12% in the Americas, 8% in Asia and 4,5% in Europe.

THE FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS AS SEEN BY EUROPE

  Many industries not yet “automated”, beside automotive, will benefit from advanced robotics.

  € 1,2 Billion is invested in a Public Private Partnership between the EC and EFFRA association, in the Horizon 2020 framework, for Factories of the Future, which includes robotics among other topics.

  Robotics is adapted to SMEs


A SPECIFIC ROADMAP FOR ROBOTICS IN SMES

The example of French “Robot Start PME” program

  Aimed at 250 SMEs for the integration of their first robot   Started in October 2013   2 programs : 10 days / 3 days   Collaboration with SYMOP (industrial robotics federation),

CEA (research) and CETIM (engineering)   33 experts, 180 integrators took part at a national level   € 14 million invested by 125 SMEs   400 SMEs applying to the program


SERVICE ROBOTICS IN EUROPE   Today’s service robot market is

composed of many niche products for professional services and a few high-volume applications in the domestic environment.

  Europe is an undisputed leader in professional service robotics

  Europe benefits from a strong entrepreneurial spirit for personal robotics and robot companions in particular.
