What’s Driving High Demand for Aerial Robot across Regions?

“Growing wind turbine installations leading to its inspection services will bolster the demand for aerial robots”

Robotic technology is revolutionizing the widespread wind power industry. Wind turbines, by their nature, are high above the ground, making the inspection a challenging task. Workers have to risk their lives to scale high-rise platforms to shut down power generation and to inspect wind turbines.

UAVs serve as a good alternative to be used and can perform inspections on turbine operations without endangering people. Wind turbine installation and maintenance can be streamlined with UAV- aerial robot. Each stage of the installation project including the initial land survey as well as its further maintenance can be assisted by aerial robots.

There are many countries that are installing wind turbines on a large scale as an alternative energy source. The U.S. has the second largest wind farm in the world, Alta Wind Energy Center in California with a capacity of 1,548 MW. At 24.9 GW, Texas alone produces a quarter of the U.S. wind power and supplies more wind power than 25 other U.S. states together.

Germany, for example, has completed 136 new wind turbine installations and it as a whole contributes 28% of all offshore installations in the country. Considering such extensive demand for wind turbines across the globe will also drive the demand for aerial robots for inspection services.

“Substantial impact of robotics on agriculture & forestry to compliment market growth”

With a growing world population, increasing urbanization, and dramatic changes in consumption habits, people's demand for food is rising rapidly. Moreover, the impacts of climate change also affect the demand for food. On the other hand, the demand for forest products and the need for forest conservation are also rapidly increasing.

Robotic technology has a huge impact on the agriculture and forestry industries. Farmers recognize the need for automated vehicle (UAV) guidance to minimize damage to soil growth zones. Automated handling, collection, and processing of agricultural goods, with considerable instrumentation and mechanization of livestock management is now popularizing.

A combination of global positioning satellites (GPS) and computer vision allows the tractor to follow rows of crops and turn headlands at the end of rows. Automating routine surveillance of vast forest areas while mapping and locating other components will lead to a significant change in the forest industry in the future. Owing to the considerable use of robotics in agriculture and forestry, the demand for aerial robots will definitely rise in the forecast period.

What Do Aerial Robot Manufacturers Need to Watch Out?

“Air traffic management challenges can act as a restraining factor for market growth”

In military, commercial, industrial, logistics, and civilian uses, aerial robots are frequently used on a global scale. In recent years, significant limitations on UAV flights have come into effect on the industry and its end users in many countries.

The flight environment in low-altitude airspace keeps getting more complicated as aerial robot technology develops rapidly. The main issue is the considerable air traffic, especially in areas with dense populations where unregistered and registered aerial robots are operating at the same time. For organizations operating in the important infrastructure sector, this raises serious safety and privacy concerns.

The robot industry has difficulty with the lack of air traffic control infrastructure required for safe flight operations in designated airspace. Integrated air traffic control can lessen operational challenges and improve aerial robot/ UAV security.

The government and regulatory bodies of certain countries like the U.S. are imposing certain restrictions on the usage of UAVs and aerial robots. All of these issues are impeding the market's expansion.
