Domestic service (domestic service) robot is independent of indoor and outdoor chores work equipment; IHS Markit believes that there are three key factors will interfere with the popularity of domestic service robots...
Market research firm IHS Markit expected, the domestic service robot market is expected to grow at the rate of compound annual growth rate of 17%, shipments increased from 5 million in 2015 to more than 12 million units in 2020.
Domestic service (domestic service) robot is independent of indoor and outdoor chores work equipment, including vacuuming robots, floor cleaning robot, window cleaning robot, mowing the lawn, swimming pool cleaning robots, robot used for society and fun, for the purpose of the robot and robot in the kitchen. IHS Markit said, the following three key factors will affect the domestic service robot popularity:
Compared with the previous traditional products, the performance of the core tasks better;
In obstacle detection, avoid collisions, and low power networking aspects have advanced navigation technology;
Other market factors, including product pricing, retail channels, sales promotion strategy, consumer concern in the robot technology and security as well as by the competent authorities in charge of industry safety standards.
"Vacuuming robots and floor cleaning robot is not only clean and mop the floor equipment, at the same time they also has become a symbol of the fashion life," IHS Markit, chief analyst at Dinesh Kithany said: "life busy young consumers and workers couples is the main target customers of products such as vacuuming robots. In addition, by adding networking features, users will be very easy to remote control their intelligent robot, and can through advanced intelligent robot built-in camera to monitor their home."

Navigation and wireless networking technology to promote the development of robot market
Domestic service robot navigation and obstacle avoidance technology over the past decade has been rapid development. The latest mapping and navigation technology with 360 - degree laser or image sensor (such as Neato robot Botvac Connected series robot vacuum cleaner, Dyson, 360 Eye series robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba980 robot vacuum cleaner) robot can move smoothly in narrower dense space in the home.
Previous generations of product USES is the primary technology of surveying and mapping, this leads to a robot in clean when collision, several kinds of clean along the wall motion and according to the preset mode at a fixed time to clean the room. As a new generation of robots on the market with more advanced technology, through the camera sensor or laser scanning analysis of interior space and furniture put, so to understand the exact place obstacles and make the best lines and complete cleaning work, even after completion of the battery can work to go back to the previous position.
The function of the robot device with mobile devices such as mobile phone connection, is expected to contribute to the growth of the domestic service robot market; Networking features, users can through the camera remote to track their state of the robot, at the same time, the camera can also be used as a family security cameras; WLAN or wi-fi will still be in the next five years the most popular connection technology, low power consumption single chip wi-fi is expected to become the main connection technology of domestic service robots in the future market.
IHS Markit, points out that the main obstacle to the growth of the domestic service robot market is its high price, the market structure also scattered; Leading suppliers are also constantly looking for ways to reduce the product cost, and add more features and innovative design through to make its products different from others.
"A lot of home appliance manufacturers in cooperation with research institutions, and in the robot, and science and technology oriented industry conference to show their creativity and product concept;" Kithany said: "the iRobot, Dyson, Samsung, LG, Bosch, MoleyRobotics, Robomow, Maytronics and Moneual are outstanding in their respective product in the market."
