Drivers - Harmonic Drives in Robotics Market
- Increasing Adoption of Medical Robots
The rising use of surgical robots which are associated with medical robotics in the healthcare industry is importantly increasing. As, surgical robots are widely employed as an assisting role, that performs activities which are beyond human limit. Nowadays, number of hospitals and clinics are increasingly adopting surgical robots, and is majorly dominated by surgical procedures such as laparoscopic surgery, heart-thorax surgery, orthopedics and trauma surgery. Thus, increasing use of surgical robots for providing significant benefits will raise the need for high precision harmonic drive for robotics.
- Rising Need for compact, light and precise robots
As, the need for flexibility in the production is rising which require robots which are collaborative and small in size. Moreover, industries are mostly adopting cobots or small robots for providing more flexibility to the production. Thus, this has also developed the need for actuators and gear which should have compactness, low-weight, precision and maximum performance that can be used in complex robotics. Thus, the growing demand for compact, light and precise robots will further drive the harmonic drive in robotics market.
Challenges - Harmonic Drive in Robotics Market
- Lack of Skill & High Cost of Implementation
Robots are commonly being used in several industries including medical, industrial, service and so on. But, the major challenges which is hindering the increasing implementation of robotics is the cost and lack of skilled employees operating the robots. The investment on industrial robots are quite large which leads to hinder the use of robots and moreover, the requirement of knowledgeable employees also causes a major impact on the use of robotics in certain fields. As, the implementation of robotics require a new level of expertise in order to operate in new environment which requires the need for certified employees in organizations. These challenges further impact the growth of the harmonic drive in the robotics market.
