• Any Robotic company’s product are not included in the slide. As we ourselves are in the same sector cant give a direct view point on others.

• Product description are only provided, technology description, necessity and possible improvements not discussed.

• Perspective is purely value creation for customers

• Practical applications and application areas are only considered with high criticality and discontentment.

• Bullet points approach to compile data.

• Luxury is not replacement of human, Hospitality is meant to serve form hearts and its there in Human only to ROBOTS.

• Robotics is to serve humankind. To add Quality, Safety , Productivity , Efficiency and Sophistication.
