ROS News for the Week of February 13th, 2023
It is official! ROSCon 2023 will be in New Orleans, Louisiana 2023-10-18T07:00:00Z→2023-10-20T07:00:00Z
I have a feeling that this year’s ROSCon will be our biggest yet. Robot sales are booming!
According to a report from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), North American companies ordered 44,196 robots valued at $2.38 billion last year, representing increases of 11% and 18%, respectively, over 2021, the previous record.
