▤ Summary

This piece argues that the UK has strong robotics research but weak real-world deployment. It highlights use cases in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, infrastructure, and energy, and stresses that adoption will create most of the economic value. The article points to barriers such as skills shortages, limited testbeds, uneven funding, and lack of policy continuity. It also frames public procurement, standards, and workforce development as the main levers that could accelerate robotics adoption at scale.
