Global Surveillance Robots Industry Outlook
Surveillance robots are mainly equipped with GPS, inertial, biomimetic, LiDAR, and ultrasound-based range sensors. They are also equipped with thermal, hyperspectral, and multispectral sensors due to the improvements in functionalities and features. The application of components such as fiber optic and ring laser gyroscopes helps in the improvement of sensor detection. The capability of surveillance robots is further improved by enhancing inertial devices such as the inertial measurement units (IMU). Research analysis of the global surveillance robots market identifies that the miniaturization of sensors will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The miniaturization of sensors reduces the cost of sensors that in turn, reduces the cost of surveillance robots. Furthermore, the growth in the sensor and surveillance camera industries and the rising technological advancements will also result in developments in sensors, robot security camera, and surveillance robots. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 12% by 2021.
The emergence of hybrid UMV systems will be one of the key surveillance robots market trends throughout the projected period. For instance, Fusion is a system developed with both UUV and ROV capabilities. This system is efficient, capable, and cost-effective since it is equipped with a suite of sensors, multi-beam forward-looking sonar, side-scan sonar, USBL, DVL, and AHRS.
