'Robotics Readiness Gap Survey' Targeting Global 800 Respondents

Six out of ten business leaders expect to have robotic operating systems in place within the next five years, yet only 40% of organizations actually possess formal strategies. A gap has been identified between the willingness to adopt robotics and the operational readiness level.

Intel announced on the 21st the results of 'The Robotics Readiness Gap' survey, which analyzed the current state of global robotics adoption preparedness among enterprises and organizations.

The survey was conducted jointly with Man Bites Dog and Coleman Parkes Research, targeting approximately 800 corporate executives, robotics specialists, government officials, and healthcare representatives from major markets including South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and China.

Survey respondents were organizations with annual revenues exceeding $500 million.

According to the survey results, 74% of respondents believe that workforce planning and robot strategy will become inseparable by 2030.

Additionally, they projected that operational productivity could double with full-scale robot deployment.

John Healy, Vice President overseeing Intel's Industrial and Robotics division, stated, "The gap between implementation objectives for robot adoption and operational readiness is widening," and added, "Organizations that harmoniously build strategy, workforce development, safety, and infrastructure will be positioned advantageously to realize the benefits of intelligent robots and Physical AI."

Five Key Elements for Successful Robotics Expansion

Intel has identified five critical elements that distinguish organizations successfully scaling robot adoption from those remaining in pilot stages: strategy, technology, safety, infrastructure, and scale.

Regarding strategy, 67% of respondents stated they were prepared to manage human-robot hybrid work environments by 2030, but only 40% of organizations currently possess formal human-robot work environment strategies.

On the technology front, 40% of respondents identified technology and talent shortages as obstacles to expanding robot adoption.

Concerning safety, 55% reported experiencing delays in adoption due to safety concerns, and 68% believe that clear global standards would accelerate adoption pace.

In terms of scale, over 75% of respondents indicated that major robotic applications require decision-making within 100 milliseconds.

Direction for Building Physical AI Infrastructure

Intel stated that the convergence of robotics and Physical AI is establishing itself as a next-generation core technology for enterprise innovation.

Intel supports enterprises' robot technology adoption foundation through edge AI semiconductors, Intel Robotics AI Suite, and OpenVINO Physical AI tools, according to the company.
