What countries are investing in robots? - Business Reporter

Technology / What countries are investing in robots? A recent study by Redwood Software and the Centre for Economic and Business Research (Cebr) has focused on the impact of robotics automation on economic development across OECD countries, including the UK and the US. How does UK robotics investment compare to other countries? The report found that the UK has a much smaller robotics investment/GDP share in comparison to Japan, Germany and the US. Expressed in 2015 PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) terms, robotics investment in the US was $86billion in 2015, approximately 62 times that of the UK, recovering strongly from less than $30billion during the recession in 2009.
