There was recent data from the Association for Advancing Automation on the deployment of industrial robots in Northh America, and as shown in the graphic below, after three year of flat growth, deployments took off in 2021, rising by about a third to almost 40,000.

And that happened when growth in adoption in the automotive sector was lttle changed, as robots took off in other sectors, notably distribution.

The robots really are comng.
