Milan, Italy / January 2015 - "Robots. The New Era - Living, working and investing in the robotics society of the future" is an exciting journey of discovery through next-generation robotics where we encounter co-worker robots, autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, drones and other wonders that are no longer science fiction but very much part of the real world.
Robotics will become a key factor in the development of the global economy over the coming years. The spread of robots in the next 5-10 years will lead to a radical change in how millions of people live and work - as was the case with the advent of the personal computer in the 1980s, the Internet at the end of the 1990s and the smartphone in the last five years.
To direct young people towards the best job opportunities, the author addresses the subject of education, explains how and where to study robotics and lists what professions will be in most demand in the future.
Robotics is attracting investors who see a profit opportunity. According to a Washington research institute, within ten years some 40% of the companies on the Fortune 500 index will be replaced by companies from the robotics, artificial intelligence and digital manufacturing sectors. The third part of the e-book is devoted to the financial market and identifying investment opportunities in robotics equities in Europe, USA and Asia.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
