Auterion, the leading technology platform powering the world's top drone manufacturers, has released details of its recent Mobile Robotics in the Workplace Survey, which provides a comprehensive look at American workers' opinions and perceptions about adopting robotics. mobile robotics in various sectors. Conducted among more than 1,000 Americans across a variety of industries, the survey highlights Americans' enthusiasm for the increasing integration of robots in the workplace.
The Growing Trend of Robotics in the Workplace
According to the survey, a whopping 86% of Americans believe mobile robotics will be incorporated into more companies over the next five years. Furthermore, 78% of respondents believe that adopting mobile robots will improve productivity at work. Surprisingly, 40% of respondents are already working with robots in their workplaces, while 48% stated that their companies have plans to increase the use of mobile robotics.
Robots are preferred for High Risk and Mundane Tasks
The survey also highlighted Americans' preference for mobile robots in high-risk tasks and mundane, repetitive activities. Around 82% of respondents support the use of mobile robots in high-risk tasks considered dangerous to humans. An almost equal percentage, 67.5%, are in favor of automating mundane work tasks, such as inspecting hard-to-reach equipment or managing inventory. Additionally, most believe that mobile robots performing mundane tasks could result in higher-value jobs for humans, although a third of respondents are still concerned about their jobs being replaced by robots.
The Importance of training
To address these concerns, research highlights the importance of education and training. Surprisingly, 70% of workers would be willing to participate in training or retraining programs in robotic process management and programming if they were offered at their workplace. Furthermore, 43% reported that their companies have already offered training in this area.
Lorenz Meier, CEO of Auterion, commented on the findings: “This research confirms the growing public sentiment we have seen in favor of mobile robotics and that America expects adoption in the workplace – and it is happening quickly. Americans are interested in the roles and benefits of mobile robots at work, such as safety and productivity, now and in the future. To meet expectations and enable the wave of workplace adoption, mobile robots need to be networked and operate in fleets. We are building the operating system for autonomous computing to realize the widespread adoption of mobile robotics in the workplace.”
These findings clearly demonstrate that mobile robotics is becoming an increasingly integrated part of the American workplace, boosting productivity and opening up new learning and growth opportunities for workers.
