Israel can position itself as a world leader in the field of robotics and smart systems.
Israel have already created a few leading robotics companies such as “MAZOR”, “FABRIC”, “MEMIC ” and “MAYTRONICS”. The field of robotics involves the seamless integration of hardware and software, and provides an answer to the problem of shortages in labor in multiple sectors.
Examples of such sectors are manufacturing production lines, nursing and health workers, logistics, agriculture and infrastructure. Today, it seems that the market is ripe for remote work and care.
This maturity is based on technological and engineering evolvement, while integrating robotics, autonomy and AI that enable the combined work of man and machine, a true collaboration between humans and robots in the same space.
Service robots and drones present another such combination.
