Robots and Robot software have become more commonplace in many work places over the last couple of years and with worker shortages considered a real problem in the future, it is estimated that we will see more Robots across all industries soon.

Software bots are becoming smarter and much more capable enabling them to carry out much of the work currently done in offices.  Bots can and do make  digital work faster and much more efficient, streamlining many monotonous tasks and simplifying others.

There are many examples of how Robots are being used across industries, most notably is the hospitality industry where service robots are being used to serve food, take orders and clean.  La Duni restaurant in Texas Dallas found itself extremely short staffed, a problem which is frequently occurring in the UK and across the world. The restaurant owner turned to the future for the solution and employed the use of service Robots to serve food.  Whilst the restaurant owner initially employed the use of robots out of necessity due to staff not returning after the pandemic, he actually found they made a huge difference for the better, not only cutting costs but making processes faster and simpler.

From performing surgery to carrying out administration roles, Robots have become an integral part of Singapore’s Changhi general hospital where more than 50 members of staff are actually robots.  The robots work independently and effectively and in simulations the robots were even effective when asked to move an object in new and unfamiliar surroundings.

It is often asked, how fast Robots trends are moving and whether Robots and bots will completely transform the workplace by 2030, of course only time will tell but what we do know is that robot trends are clearly accelerating and we are still in the early days of A1 and robot development.
