AI, Cloud, Robotics. Will continue to dominate the narrative in the four year time frame.
I've heard something like a quarter of venture capital is being allocated to consumer robotics. And it feels like society is reaching a tipping point. Where the hardware is becoming dependable enough that mainstream America is ready to allow robots in their homes en masse.
One interesting way to enter if you are a startup is to design a crucial component of the consumer robotics supply chain. Perhaps a remote sensing kit. Or modular battery system. But beyond the hype. There is enough substance here to get excited about this space and its transformative power.
