All stocks on the Robotics and Automation News list show growth

by

This website does not give financial or investment advice – we would need a specific license for that.

But we made a list a couple of years ago of industrial companies related to our news coverage, and all of them – without exception – have seen increases in their share prices over a 52-week period, with several growing by more than 50 percent.

That is true for each of the past two years we have analyzed. In fact, last year when we checked, many more companies – at least 10 – had grown by more than 50 percent. Probably because last year saw an intensification in the wider public’s interest in robotics, automation and artificial intelligence.

Much as we’d like to, we don’t claim to be responsible for some of this, but it may interest readers to know that our website audience has grown by several hundred percent in the past two years, to almost a quarter of a million unique visitors a month. Ironically, some of it may be bots, but that is true of most websites these days.

We made the list more as a way of learning about the sector and to see which companies to watch and write about.  [Read more…] about All stocks on the Robotics and Automation News list show growth

Nano robots could eventually reduce the need for surgical procedures

by

The day when you can choose to have nano robots inserted into your body to rid yourself of some serious disease like cancer, instead of undergoing some sort of surgical procedure, is drawing nearer, but there are many challenges yet to overcome. 

Numerous researchers have developed tiny robots that cannot be individually seen by the human eye but which can operate like machines within your bloodstream or other parts of your body.

One example was what could be described as a “swimming nanobot” demonstrated towards the end of last year by scientists at the University of California San Diego.  [Read more…] about Nano robots could eventually reduce the need for surgical procedures

Industrial workers would rather have a robot colleague, suggests new report

By Rana Tarakji, One SEO

If you are an activity enthusiast who likes to take photos, then you know what a GoPro is. This small action camera has revolutionized how people can document their activities and adventures. It is very small compared to other cameras, waterproof, and virtually indestructible.

Although earlier GoPro versions were initially designed to take HD videos, its capability to take good quality photos have also improved over its development of later versions.

Oftentimes, it is better to use it for what it is meant for – taking “action” videos. Sometimes though, ‘action’ is not fast-paced.  [Read more…] about 4 Tips for Awesome GoPro Time Lapse Videos
