Top 100 Robot Trends in 2019

From Intelligent AI-Powered Robotic Dogs to Pizza Delivery Bots

— January 26, 2020 — Tech
The advancement of technology enables an innovator's imagination to roam free and the 2019 robot trends are a category that shows some of the fruits of this inspiration. From robotic dresses to artificial intelligence canines, some of these products are functional, others are purely for aesthetic reasons or are considered a milestone to pushing innovation's agenda forward.

The areas which are covered by the 2019 robot trends round-up are diverse. Even for the most unconventional and unexpected tasks, designers are creating assistive products. This includes the 'ebo' robot pet companion that boasts a built-in 1080p HD camera, a next-generation automated salad server by Chowbotics, the iRobot lawnmower, as well as a rechargeable floor mopping robot by the same brand.
