The Disruptive Technology Trends That Shaped 2017 - Disruption Hub

A lot can happen in a year. At the start of 2017 I highlighted 15 disruptive technology trends I expected to see in 2017. As we start 2018 I thought it would be interesting to look back over the last 12 months to see what progress has been made. . . Whilst the use of industrial robots for manufacturing is nothing new, 2017 saw a growth in organisations implementing industrial robots alongside their human colleagues. These lightweight plug and play systems, offer huge flexibility, and with an average cost of around £18,000 are a growing part of the industry.
