DECEMBER, 20216 Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS): A New Era of Robotics EditorialThe "as-a-Service" model is increasingly getting commonplace today as enterprises are looking for scalability without any long-term capital expenditure (CapEx) or operating expenses (OPEX) commitments. While these "as-a-Service" implementations standardize the technology, they also lower the barrier to entry for businesses, large and small alike. Thus, the "as a Service" philosophy is swiftly spreading to new aspects of work. One of those new arenas is "Robotics-as-a Service" (RaaS). Notably, RaaS takes the capabilities of robotics and removes the upfront cost of typically expensive automation upgrades. RaaS is a cloud-based "robotic rental" system that allows users to incorporate the capabilities to upgrade or downgrade systems as requirements change and install robotics without the necessary infrastructure required by more traditional robotics implementations. RaaS works by utilizing on-site robotic hardware with cloud-based programming and automation, allowing the users to supply power, train the robot, and begin using it. This capability would thus allow users to spool up production rapidly, reduce upfront installation costs, and adjust capabilities on the fly.
