This year brought many competitive submissions, and evaluating nominees was a challenge.

"Selecting the companies for the RBR50 is always a difficult task," said Keith Shaw, editor at Robotics Business Review. "With more companies than ever entering the robotics and AI space, choosing the top 50 companies was especially challenging this year. We're confident that the selections reflect the best of the best in this exciting and growing market."
