commercial maturity
What is the hype cycle for robotics?
We've all seen or heard of the Hype Cycle. It's a visual depiction of the lifecycle stages a technology goes through from the initial development to commercial maturity. It's a useful way to track what technologies are compatible with your organization's needs. There are five stages of the Hype Cycle, which take us through the initial excitement trigger, that leads to the peak of inflated expectations followed by disillusionment. It's only as a product moves into more tangible market use, sometimes called'The Slope of Enlightenment', that we start to reach full commercial viability.
