Emerging Opportunities for Robotics in Military and Defense Applications

Emerging Opportunities for Robotics in Military and Defense Applications


Surveillance, Logistic Support, Explosive Detection and Neutralization are High Impact Sectors

Various military operations increasingly choose to deploy robots due to the advantages they provide in various safety, surveillance, and rescue operations. These robots help troops improve the accuracy of a task, provide flexibility to perform multiple functions, shorten time required to complete tasks, enable traversing in hazardous environments, while facilitating longer operation with full efficiency.

Bio-inspired robotics aims to improve security and enhance defense systems. Most of the designs focus on creating robotic vehicles and gadgets inspired by natural examples from plants, animals, birds, and insects translated into biochemical engineering and nanotechnology.

Geopolitical crises have a large impact on the robotic surveillance market, and it is driving the demand for military automation. NLP innovations have improved robot control, and thus has increased the demand for such systems. Future advancements such as composite AI, decision intelligence, responsible AI will allow robots to take complex decisions to ensure trust.
