As the world gradually recovers from the shock to the economic and health sectors caused by the pandemic, other aspects of this extraordinary situation that could catalyze long-term change are becoming clearer. One of these is the potential of robotisation highlighted by the global health crisis. Research shows that companies with a large proportion of […]
Robotics companies in Lithuania notice the growing demand from companies to automate their processes. Developers working with robotics solutions say they currently have more projects in line than before the pandemic. Particularly active customers come from the industry, but not everyone is in a hurry – some are still afraid to innovate.
L4MS, a partner network of the Association, has already funded 6 automation experiments for the automation of intra-factory logistics. Below, find more information about the success stories, including “OHTider” system developed in Lithuania.
On 1 April 2021, DIH² will launch the second Open Call to find 15 new Technology Transfer Experiments in the field of agile robotics.
Board Member Justinas Katkus participated in the 4th session of a HubIT Webinar on the 2nd of February. Focusing on Robot-Human interactions, he shed a light on what the future holds for us in the world filled with machines. Find the recording here.
Lithuanian Robotics Association is part of a science and business consortium that was consortium nominated as the European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) for the Vilnius region. This EDIH brings together digital technology expertise and infrastructure, provides digitization and innovation support, and advisory services for SMEs and the public sector.
Although Lithuania is among the last in Europe, measuring the robotization levels of the industrial sector, it is an inevitable future. As the pandemic accelerates automation in all sectors around the world, Lithuanian industrialists are also talking about a turning point – the ratio of labor productivity, availability, quality and price in Lithuania is already […]
Sales value of professional service robots increased by 32% to USD11.2 billion worldwide (2018-2019). The COVID-19 pandemic will further boost the market. High demand for robotics disinfection solutions, robotic logistics solutions in factories and warehouses or robots for home delivery are examples of this trend.
The new World Robotics 2020 Industrial Robots report shows a record of 2.7 million industrial robots operating in factories around the world – an increase of 12%. Sales of new robots remain on a high level with 373,000 units shipped globally in 2019. This is 12% less compared to 2018, but still the 3rd highest […]
As the pandemic grows demand in the robotics industry, the sector is striving to be closer to business: companies implementing robotics solutions are educating industrialists, and the professionals who are developing them are making robots increasingly available not only for mass production but also for smaller manufacturers.
Statistics Lithuania has calculated that the number of Lithuanian companies using robots has increased from 3.2 to 4.6% in two years. Looking at the numbers, it is difficult to talk about the promising breakthrough, but experts say that, although not fast enough, Lithuanian business is digitizing, and 1.4% growth is not as modest as it […]
By 2022, an operational stock of almost 4 million industrial robots are expected to work in factories worldwide. These robots will play a vital role in automating production to speed up the post-Corona economy. At the same time, robots are driving demand for skilled workers. Educational systems must effectively adjust to this demand.
