TOP 50
ROBOTICS
COMPANIES
IN THE WORLD
We’ve welcomed robots in our lives. This
is very noticeable especially in futuristic
and first-world countries that are fast-
paced and give importance in giving people
convenience and comfort. While some give a
bad reputation for robots, it is quite obvious
that robotics have played a crucial role in
how we develop as a society. Nowadays,
engineers have developed robots that can
do all the chores for us, robots that work for
us and robots who could even think for us.
That’s why every robot has been very useful
in making our daily lives better.
There has been a debate going on lately about
robots though. For some, robots pose as a
threat to humanity. With the threat of actually
replacing humans one day, some people
believe that we should stop developing them
into a more complex human-like machines.
But other people thought differently and
have made it their mission to produce high-
quality robots that could be more useful to us
than ever before.
