Industrial arms, warehouse robots and machines that walk. Build the machines that do the work nobody wants.
A robotics maker designs and builds robots and the cells they work in. In the 1970s that meant arms that weld and paint on a car line; from the 2010s, robots that pick groceries in a warehouse or hold the instruments in an operating theatre; now, machines built to walk. Each sale is a project with a long lead time, a customer who wants it proven first, and a tax allowance that decides when factories buy.
