New market study, "Global Service Robotics Market", has been published

May 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Service robots can be used to provide domestic aid for the elderly and disabled; serving various functions ranging from cleaning to entertainment. The high cost of labor in developed countries and the increasing need for assisted living has led to the development of the service robotics market. The saturation of industrial robotics industry also lends significant growth potential to this nascent market.

As service robots are in greater proximity to humans, the technology involves more safety concerns over human-machine interaction. However, developments in the manufacture of intelligent and safer robots are expected to soon address the issues of safety, manipulation, and sensing. Thus, leading robotics companies have begun preparing for the day when every home will have a robot.

The stakeholders of the market will be benefited by key opportunities identified and analyzed in the report. Also, the key players, their developments and strategies have been analyzed and explained in the report.
