ZhilianhaiHow to Read Robot Market Data
The traps
| Trap | Looks like | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing scopes | Industrial and service robots compared directly | Confirm what is counted |
| Mixing units | Units versus systems versus revenue | Separate volume and value |
| Mixing boundaries | Whether integration and software are included | Read the definition section |
How to cite properly
Name the source, the year, the definition and the unit. For example: according to IFR statistics, around 542,000 industrial robots were installed in 2024, on an industrial-robot basis. That sentence can be checked; a bare number cannot.
