Robotics usage in industrial settings has risen over the last decade due to their benefits, such as increased efficiency and productivity. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift from manual to automated operations as frequent lockdowns led to labor shortages in most sectors. However, the high implementation costs mean large organizations tend to invest more than small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in using and integrating robots into their operations. While evolving technologies enable practical cooperation between robots and operators, interoperability challenges and vulnerabilities from cybersecurity pose implementation hurdles for operators. Incorporating technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in robots will likely help decision-making and gain traction as robot use increases.
