Future Aspect

The total smart robot market is expected to reach USD 7.85 billion by 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 19.22 % between 2015 and 2020. Researches already predicted that by 2019, 30 % of commercial service robotic applications will be in form of Robot as a Service business model. By 2020, 60 % of robots will depend on cloud based software to define new skills, cognitive capabilities and application program, leading to formation of

5 robot. R & D Team of Cloud Minds at China is upgrading smart robots from Artificial Intelligence to Cloud Intelligence( CI). CIbased robots have a rebuilt " cloud brain " which has the same neural network as human beings. Additionally, a CI-based robot will to able to perform more complicated and precise tasks based on instructions as a result of the separation between the " cloud brain " and the machine itself.
