FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Feb. 16, 2015 -- Robotics Business Review (RBR) has unveiled its fourth annual RBR50 list comprised of the most noteworthy public and private companies in the global robotics industry for 2015. With the robotics industry more competitive than ever, new companies are popping up all the time. Of those companies, the RBR50 list outlines those who should be kept on your business radar.
