Robot reboot - McKinsey

A new generation of robotics is powering up. How can leaders capture the value at stake while ensuring successful human–machine collaboration? The market for general-purpose robotics, including humanoid robots, is poised to skyrocket—growing to an estimated $370 billion by 2040, up from under $1 billion today. Beyond their economic value, next-generation robots will think and act more autonomously, evolving from highly specialized machines into systems capable of performing a diverse set of tasks. The leap in general-purpose robots is being driven largely by advances in software—including AI—which enable robots to be more useful in different environments, such as manufacturing.
