What's the trending news in the robotics field for February 2022? Welcome to the 29th installment in our monthly series, What's Trending in Robotics News! We cover all the breaking news, hot issues, trending stories, and cool stuff that's happening — or has happened — in the robotics industry.
There were plenty of amazing things happening in the robotics industry throughout February. Let's see what caught our attention this month with the trending news in the robotics field for February 2022!
Some more incredible products in the robotics delivery world this month. TrendHunter profiles three of them: the Ottobot for indoor and outdoor delivery, the versatile HulaBot, and a new FedEx robotics solution. How long do you think it will be before the Ottobot or the Hulabot shows up at your door?
There is a lot of news out there — but these are the stories that caught our eyes this month. If we could give one big theme for the month, it would be "consistency." After the Covid disruptions of the past few years, it's nice that we're getting back to a little bit of consistency, as shown by the successful Winter Olympics over the last month. Of course, a big reason for the Olympic success? Robots. They were everywhere in Beijing, helping to scan tickets, serve food, and stop COVID in its tracks. They helped us get a little bit of normalcy back in our lives (and root pretty hard for our home countries).
The bottom line: Robotics, as a whole, are on a roll. They're adapting to every aspect of our lives and touching every element of what we do, from how we eat to where we will go as a species. Our best advice? Sit back and enjoy the ride.
