Executive Summary World Robotics 2019 Service Robots 11 Executive Summary World Robotics 2019 Service Robots Service robotics encompasses a broad field of applications, most of which having unique designs and different degrees of automation – from full tele-operation to fully autonomous operation. Hence, the industry is more diverse than the industrial robot industry (which is extensively treated in the companion publication World Robotics – Industrial Robots 2019). IFR Statistical Department is currently aware of more than 750 companies producing service robots or doing commercial research for marketable products. A full list is included in chapter 4 of World Robotics Service Robots 2019. IFR Statistical Department is continuously seeking for new service robot producers, so please contact [email protected] if you represent such a company and would like to participate in the annual survey conducted in the first quarter of each year. Participants receive the survey results free of charge. Sales of professional service robots on the rise The total number of professional service robots sold in 2018 rose by 61% to more than 271,000 units, up from roughly 168,000 in 2017. The sales value increased by 32% to USD 9.2 billion. Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) represent the largest fraction in the professional service robot market (41% of all units sold). They are established in non-manufacturing environments, mainly logistics, and have lots of potential in manufacturing. The second largest category (39% of all units sold), inspection and maintenance robots, covers a wide range of robots from rather low-priced standard units to expensive custom solutions. Service robots for defense applications accounted for 5% of the total number of service robots for professional use sold in 2018. -

Hospitality Robots at Your Service WHITEPAPER
WHITEPAPER Hospitality Robots At Your Service TABLE OF CONTENTS THE SERVICE ROBOT MARKET EXAMPLES OF SERVICE ROBOTS IN THE HOSPITALITY SPACE IN DEPTH WITH SAVIOKE’S HOSPITALITY ROBOTS PEPPER PROVIDES FRIENDLY, FUN CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE SANBOT’S HOSPITALITY ROBOTS AIM FOR HOTELS, BANKING EXPECT MORE ROBOTS DOING SERVICE WORK roboticsbusinessreview.com 2 MOBILE AND HUMANOID ROBOTS INTERACT WITH CUSTOMERS ACROSS THE HOSPITALITY SPACE Improvements in mobility, autonomy and software drive growth in robots that can provide better service for customers and guests in the hospitality space By Ed O’Brien Across the business landscape, robots have entered many different industries, and the service market is no difference. With several applications in the hospitality, restaurant, and healthcare markets, new types of service robots are making life easier for customers and employees. For example, mobile robots can now make deliveries in a hotel, move materials in a hospital, provide security patrols on large campuses, take inventories or interact with retail customers. They offer expanded capabilities that can largely remove humans from having to perform repetitive, tedious, and often unwanted tasks. Companies designing and manufacturing such robots are offering unique approaches to customer service, providing systems to help fill in areas where labor shortages are prevalent, and creating increased revenues by offering new delivery channels, literally and figuratively. However, businesses looking to use these new robots need to be mindful of reviewing the underlying demand to ensure that such investments make sense in the long run. In this report, we will review the different types of robots aimed at providing hospitality services, their various missions, and expectations for growth in the near-to-immediate future. -
How Humanoid Robots Influence Service Experiences and Food Consumption
Marketing Science Institute Working Paper Series 2017 Report No. 17-125 Service Robots Rising: How Humanoid Robots Influence Service Experiences and Food Consumption Martin Mende, Maura L. Scott, Jenny van Doorn, Ilana Shanks, and Dhruv Grewal “Service Robots Rising: How Humanoid Robots Influence Service Experiences and Food Consumption” © 2017 Martin Mende, Maura L. Scott, Jenny van Doorn, Ilana Shanks, and Dhruv Grewal; Report Summary © 2017 Marketing Science Institute MSI working papers are distributed for the benefit of MSI corporate and academic members means, electronic or mechanical, without written permission. Report Summary Interactions between consumers and humanoid service robots (i.e., robots with a human-like morphology such as a face, arms, and legs) soon will be part of routine marketplace experiences, and represent a primary arena for innovation in services and shopper marketing. At the same time, it is not clear whether humanoid robots, relative to human employees, trigger positive or negative consequences for consumers and companies. Although creating robots that appear as much like humans as possible is the “holy grail” in robotics, there is a risk that consumers will respond negatively to highly human-like robots, due to the feelings of discomfort that such robots can evoke. Here, Martin Mende, Maura Scott, Jenny van Doorn, Ilana Shanks, and Dhruv Grewal investigate whether humanoid service robots (HSRs) trigger discomfort and what the consequences might be for customers’ service experiences. They focus on the effects of HSRs in a food consumption context. Six experimental studies, conducted in the context of restaurant services, reveal that consumers report lower assessments of the server when their food is served by a humanoid service robot than by a human server, but their desire for food and their actual food consumption increases. -

They consume a lot of power and struggle when they go on rocky surface. To tackle the disadvantages of wheeled robot we replaced the wheels like shaped legs with the spider legs or spider arms. Quadruped robot has complicated moving patterns and it can also move on surfaces where wheeled shaped robots would fail. They can easily walk on rocky or uneven surface. The main purpose of the project is to develop a consistent platform that enables the implementation of steady and fast static/dynamic walking on ground/Platform to deliver medicines to covid-19 patients. The main advantage of spider robot also called as quadruped robot is that it is Bluetooth controlled robot, through the android application, we can control robot from anywhere; it avoids the obstacle using ultrasonic sensor. Key words: Bluetooth module, Quadruped, Rough-terrain robots.

Service Robots Are Increasingly Broadening Our Horizons Beyond the Factory Floor
Toward a Science of Autonomy for Physical Systems: Service Peter Allen Henrik I. Christensen [email protected] [email protected] Columbia University Georgia Institute of Technology Computing Community Consortium Version 1: June 23, 20151 1 Overview A recent study by the Robotic Industries Association [2] has highlighted how service robots are increasingly broadening our horizons beyond the factory floor. From robotic vacuums, bomb retrievers, exoskeletons and drones, to robots used in surgery, space exploration, agriculture, home assistance and construction, service robots are building a formidable resume. In just the last few years we have seen service robots deliver room service meals, assist shoppers in finding items in a large home improvement store, checking in customers and storing their luggage at hotels, and pour drinks on cruise ships. Personal robots are here to educate, assist and entertain at home. These domestic robots can perform daily chores, assist people with disabilities and serve as companions or pets for entertainment [1]. By all accounts, the growth potential for service robotics is quite large [2, 3]. Due to their multitude of forms and structures as well as application areas, service robots are not easy to define. The International Federation of Robots (IFR) has created some preliminary definitions of service robots [5]. A service robot is a robot that performs useful tasks for humans or equipment excluding industrial automation applications. Some examples are domestic servant robots, automated wheelchairs, and personal mobility assist robots. A service robot for professional use is a service robot used for a commercial task, usually operated by a properly trained operator. -
