What Is Covered Under Modular Robotics Market?

Modular robotics refers to robots designed with parts that can be reconfigured to assume different shapes and functions. These robots have the capability of reconfiguring their shapes autonomously in many cases and adapting to new circumstances, performing new tasks, or recovering from damage beyond the conventional actuation, sensing, and control typically found in fixed-morphology robots. The main types of modular robotics are SCARA modular robots, articulated modular robots, Cartesian modular robots, parallel modular robots, and other robots. SCARA modular robots refer to the selectively compliant articulated robot arm used for automating assembly applications. The hardware designs include chain-based, lattice-based, and strut-based and are installed by auto and manual configurations by end-use industries such as automotive, electronics and electrical, chemical, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and others.
