Special Issue: 2020 Robotics Handbook

By Steve Crowe | November 6, 2020

Robots are performing critical duties across the world, including dangerous and repetitive manufacturing tasks, toting heavy materials in logistics centers, and performing complex surgeries. Ongoing advances in these robotics systems, and enabling technologies, are making it possible to apply robotics solutions across an ever-increasing range of consumer, commercial and industrial applications.

We hope you enjoy the 2020 Design World Robotics Handbook, which was produced by The Robot Report. The Robotics Handbook covers the advancement of robotics systems and enabling technologies. To read all of The Robot Report‘s digital issues, check out our digital issues section here.

Here is a breakdown of the topics covered inside the Robotics Handbook:
