Quantum robotics is a term that is particularly at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, robots, industry and Factory 4.0. It describes the combination of robotics with the possibilities of quantum physics and quantum computers. The aim is to use quantum robotics to enable robots to solve problems much faster and more efficiently than today's machines.
Put simply, quantum robotics gives robots the ability to process even larger amounts of data more quickly. With conventional computer chips, robots reach their limits when it comes to particularly complex tasks. However, quantum computers work in a fundamentally different way - they utilise the laws of quantum mechanics and thus enable much higher computing power.
An illustrative example: In a modern factory, quantum robots could find out a million times faster than conventional robots in real time which component is needed next or how production chains can best be organised. The result: companies save time, energy and costs.
Although quantum robotics is still in its infancy, it promises to fundamentally change the future of automation and robotics. Investing in quantum robotics now will give you a real head start in the digital transformation.
