A big part of prepping for that event and my recent trip involved surveying some of the biggest funding raises from the past year. > A quick survey of these trends finds most investments concentrated in a handful of key categories. From there, we can get a pretty clear view of what the robotics industry will look like in the coming years and the roles we can expect these machines to play in our daily lives.
