Nowadays, the demand for humanoid robot is ever increasing with the aging of population and declining birth rates. The humanoid robots have become the best substitute as technologies related to humanoid robots are increasing and developing along with each passing year and also expected to improve in the forthcoming years.
Analysis of Humanoid Robot Market Segments
The global humanoid robot market is mainly segmented into by motion type (biped, wheel drive), component (hardware, software), application (education and entertainment, research & space exploration, personal assistance, and caregiving, search and rescue, public relations), and geography.
Based on motion type, the humanoid robot market is segmented into biped and wheel drive. Biped motion type commanded the largest share of the humanoid robot market in 2018. The share of this segment is mainly attributed to rising demand for biped robots as they are capable of walking on the feet like humans. In addition, the advancement in technology has made humanoid robots more stable with the precise movements which have a high demand from almost every application.
Based on component, the humanoid robot market is segmented into software and hardware. Software commanded the largest share of the humanoid robot market in 2018, owing to increasing adoption of artificial intelligence algorithms in humanoid robots to boost robot’s performance.
