1 million visitors and counting
RoboticsAndAutomationNews.com has received 1 million unique visitors since we started counting just over two years ago. That’s about half a million visitors a year.
Those are modest figures compared with big websites, but we’re very pleased because we started with no visitors at all a couple of years ago, and would like to thank our readers for helping us reach this milestone.
Our readership continues to grow at a very fast rate, and we hope more of you will decide to support us financially through paid subscriptions and advertising.
We’ve made it through another difficult financial year, and with your continuing support, look forward to struggling through 2019.
A lot of our readers appreciate our ongoing coverage of the global robotics and automation industry, as well as related sectors.
But we still need more of you to become paying subscribers and advertisers so we can continue to pay our journalists and staff, as well as perhaps growing next year.
We understand that if you stopped supporting us, we’d basically disappear.
Smart cities: Enticing visions of super-clean, safe and high-tech cities of the future
Smart cities promise enormous improvements in the quality of life and huge efficiencies in the way large, metropolitan areas are run.
Technologies are being developed and implemented now that can help monitor and manage almost everything in a smart city, from waste and energy, to traffic and crime.
But, according to a McKinsey report, we are still currently “seeing only a preview” of what technology could eventually do in the urban environment. [Read more…] about Smart cities: Enticing visions of super-clean, safe and high-tech cities of the future
Electric market: Designing and manufacturing batteries for bikes and golf carts
Promoted
If just a small percentage of cyclists in the west install batteries on their bikes, it would make for a massive new market. Golf carts and milk floats already show how useful batteries can be. In this article, we take a look at the potential market, and visit a company that designs and manufactures batteries to order.
One of the interesting facts about globalization is that although you would imagine that there would be a free flow of ideas from west to east and vice versa, very often it’s only one way.
That’s understandable if it’s products like Apple’s iPhone, which is hugely popular in China as it is all over the world; and, of course, the device is actually made in China, so there is an exchange of sorts.
But what I’m referring to is how ideas that are widespread in China, and Asia in general, never seem to become popular in the west. [Read more…] about Electric market: Designing and manufacturing batteries for bikes and golf carts
All stocks on the Robotics and Automation News list show growth
This website does not give financial or investment advice – we would need a specific license for that.
But we made a list a couple of years ago of industrial companies related to our news coverage, and all of them – without exception – have seen increases in their share prices over a 52-week period, with several growing by more than 50 percent.
That is true for each of the past two years we have analyzed. In fact, last year when we checked, many more companies – at least 10 – had grown by more than 50 percent. Probably because last year saw an intensification in the wider public’s interest in robotics, automation and artificial intelligence.
Much as we’d like to, we don’t claim to be responsible for some of this, but it may interest readers to know that our website audience has grown by several hundred percent in the past two years, to almost a quarter of a million unique visitors a month. Ironically, some of it may be bots, but that is true of most websites these days.
We made the list more as a way of learning about the sector and to see which companies to watch and write about. [Read more…] about All stocks on the Robotics and Automation News list show growth
Apple becomes first US company to have a market capitalization of $1 trillion
Apple has become the first US company to have a market capitalization of $1 trillion, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The gigantic sum was reached earlier today and was reported worldwide.
The company, which makes iPhones, iPads, iMacs and other technology products, has seen its stock rise more than 21 percent so far this year, reports WSJ.
Farming lands in the robotic age while humanoid robot makers adopt 3D technology
In the latest issue of Sensor Readings magazine, we feature the latest and most advanced technologies for what’s being called “precision agriculture”.
Farming is said to have started around 15,000 years ago and provided the foundation on which human civilizations were built.
As recently as 50 to 100 years ago, most modern nation-states were agrarian, generating the majority of their gross domestic product from the agricultural sector. [Read more…] about Farming lands in the robotic age while humanoid robot makers adopt 3D technology
Artificial intelligence: The power and poise of deep learning
There is so much talk about artificial intelligence that many people who aren’t even programmers understand some of the principles of the technology.
At the very least, most people who have an interest in these subjects have very likely heard of two of the branches of AI, namely machine learning and deep learning.
But some people, like us, might not fully understand the difference between machine learning and deep learning. [Read more…] about Artificial intelligence: The power and poise of deep learning
Opinion: The automated road to supercomputing and the quantum world
This month’s issue of Sensor Readings magazine – which you can find soon on this website and on Issuu.com – features an article about the recent Automatica event, held every two years in Munich, Germany.
It’s probably the largest exhibition in the world built around the industrial automation industry.
The main themes or trends Automatica is highlighting this year appear to be collaborative robots, industrial internet, digitalisation, and new telecommunications networks, such as 5G. [Read more…] about Opinion: The automated road to supercomputing and the quantum world
