The service robots market is expected to increase up to USD 103.5 billion by 2026 and it’s easy to see why. Aside from Government funding and support, many private companies and industry leaders are prioritizing the manufacturing of service robots because of the high demand from the public market and various work sectors. In no particular order, let’s take a look at some of the leading companies in service robots in 2023.
Known for their best-selling product, the Roomba, iRobot is one of the leading companies for electronic products and household robots. With cumulative sales of over 15 million units and more than 60% global market share, iRobot has service robots worldwide and in plenty of households.
It comes as no one’s surprise that the 30 years of robotics expertise and innovation of iRobot land them a spot as a formidable leader in the service robots industry. With that said plenty of iRobot’s products make it to lists of best robot vacuums.
Since being founded in 2003, Hanson Robotics has come a long way. From developing perhaps one of the most famous humanoid robots in the world, Sophia, to winning Innovation Awards, Hanson Robotics is a leader when it comes to service robots under the simulation and humanoid robots category.
While their most popular service humanoid robot, Sophia, focuses more on building human-robot relations, Hanson Robotics is currently working on a new service robot named Grace to help medical professionals.
Although they are most known for being an automotive company, Toyota also specializes in service robots. The robotics department of Toyota focuses on humanoid and mobile robots under the social and chatbots category.
One of their most known service robots is the Toyota T-HR3, which has been assisting humans in a variety of settings such as the home, medical facilities, construction sites, disaster-ridden areas, and even outer space.
Boston Dynamics is one company that has been making a lot of headlines recently. From having robots grace the runway, deployed in the military, and even becoming artists, Boston Dynamics is truly becoming a fast-rising leader in the field of service robots and robotics. Some of their most known service robots are Spot, Atlas, and AlphaDog.
Softbank is a Japanese company that first started specializing in service robots back in 2012. Since then, it has acquired Aldebaran, a robotics company, which helped them build SBRH into what it is today.
After continuously acquiring and investing in companies that will help grow their robotics technology and service robots division, Softbank was able to create the world’s first emotional service robot, Pepper. Upon the launch of Pepper back in 2015, the service robot was sold out after selling 1,000 units within one minute.
As the demand for service robots continues to increase, we can expect more companies to branch out and step up their technology when it comes to these human-assisting and socializing robots. Certainly, the future of service robots is exciting.
