Supplementary notes

* Forecast.
** Figures for conventional robots were calculated by Statista by deducting advanced robotics from the total market.
Conventional robots are programmed to carry out specific actions, thus following a rather rigid set of instructions and not acting autonomously. Advanced robots, in contrast, are aware of their environment and react to it, making autonomous decisions about what actions to perform.
