Drone Detection

Drone usage has been on the rise ever since they have hit the mainstream market. While many private users simply use them to capture footage or even just to fly for fun, there are others who are using this tech for more nefarious means. Those involved in corporate espionage, smuggling, and other illegal activities are choosing to turn to using drones to get the results they need.

As a result, a lot of money has been put into developing drone detection technology. Such programs are able to detect the flight path of a drone long before it might be noticed by another system, and can also help to classify what type of drone is being used, therefore giving an insight into its purpose.  This technology might then be able to tie into further anti-drone programs.

AI Development

While AI development is a broad area, it is one that is packed with investment potential at every turn and some amazing opportunity for good returns. It is not uncommon to find top investors like Tej Kohli for example pouring $100m into AI and robotics projects, as there is so much happening in this industry that could really make a difference in our wider world.

From manufacturing projects that could see the improvement of robots in assembly lines and warehouses to municipal projects that could see robots become part of local council cleaning operations to name just a few things that are going on, it is clear that this sector is busier than ever. AI development is at the heart of these initiatives, and offers some great opportunities for investors searching for their next big project.

Automated Services

The hospitality industry stands poised for massive innovation, and the robotics industry is looking to make some major changes here. If robotics can be introduced in food assembly lines, this can generate an astonishing amount of capital that can then be fed into other areas.

This is one industry that is lagging behind others when it comes to innovation, but now could be the perfect time for them to start introducing new techniques. There is the potential for new robotics and processes to completely overhaul the hospitality industry and create new jobs and opportunities at the same time.

Investors need to always be aware of the latest areas that could offer them some brilliant chances to make a difference with their money. While the prospect of returns will be at the forefront of many investors' minds, it is clear that the robotics industry is somewhere that can offer some amazing prospects for those willing to explore them. With this sector only moving forward each and every day that passes, it is incredibly important that we closely watch what is happening here.
