‘Decade of the Robot’ Paves Way for Trillion-Dollar Market, Barclays Says

The market for AI-powered robots and autonomous machines has the potential to balloon into a trillion-dollar opportunity by 2035, orders of magnitude bigger than it is now, according to a team of Barclays analysts.

Autonomous vehicles, which are already relatively advanced, will lead the way, followed by drones and then more complicated general-purpose humanoid robots, the analysts wrote in a report Tuesday titled “The Decade of the Robot.”
