What kind of robots are needed now?

Question

Iron

Hello everyone. I'm going to start a company specializing in robots (designing, assembling a small amount with my own hands, selling, renting, servicing). Therefore, some questions arose:
1) What kind of robots are needed now or in the near future?
2) What kind of robots would you buy (as a citizen, as a company)?
By robots, I mean not only those who have the ability to move, but also stationary non-manipulator systems. That is, an automation system that can itself adjust within certain limits.
I apologize for possible errors in the text, Russian is not my native language.

Answer 1

now the trend is for telepresence robots, flexible automation (like Baxter - http://robocraft.ru/blog/robots/1031.html ) + more robots for agriculture.
one problem - we still have big problems with simple automation, or rather with the simplest production / agriculture;) Good luck
!

Answer 2

at the competition of humanoid robots, right now they are determining which one is better .... look
there)
the first responder is very right, in the field of industrial automation there is still quite a lot of "place" to unfold.
