Marco Silvestri asked : >Are robotics industries also all scrambling? Jim Pinto responds : The objective of robotics is to develop machines that reduce human labor - first of all boring, time-consuming and dirty labor, but also achieving a level of quality not attainable manually. Robotics - as a clearly identifiable segment - has had good penetration in the automotive business (assembly, paint-shops, etc.) It is a segment of industrial automation that is continuing to grow, with some penetration occurring outside automotive. Look at "Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Market Growth" which refers to the North American Robotics Industries Association: http://www.crsrobotics.com/markets/index.html?mkt_trends_fs.html I recognize that a lot of my references are related primarily to the US, but that's still the largest market, and that's where most of my information comes from.
