Even before we could realize it, robotics has become an important part of our lives. It is very difficult to name an industry that functions without robotics playing its part. Healthcare, banking, hospitality, you name it and you are bound to find robotics. The wide range of applications that this technology caters to is the reason why it receives heavy global funding. Here is the list of top robotics funding in the last three months. Have a look!
