RAVINGS NUMBERS OF THE MONTH

there are lots of things to do for those interested in our themes, both partnering and collaborating with us, or just simply engaging with our content.

Robotics This months numbers

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.

101 units per 10,000 workers is below the world average of 126 units and ranks 24th. Five years ago, the UK's robot density was seventy-one units, making an average of 9% growth a year.

In the United Kingdom, the average beginning pay for a robot programmer is , £41,499

Automotive manufacturing companies will save $0.5 trillion by using drones for inspection and maintenance.

A.I. This month in numbers

Businesses are more likely to adopt AI; 68% of large companies, 34% of medium sized companies and 15% of small companies have adopted at least one AI technology; the latter make up the majority of the UK business landscape and hence drive the UK average result of a 15% adoption rate

Virtual Worlds augmented reality (AR) into one, extended reality (XR

" VR is growing fast

VR is more than just gaming

VR is a new way to interact with the world around us

VR can be used for training, education, and healthcare

VR can be used to create new experiences and improve existing ones "

1.7% of respondents own a high-end VR headset, e.g., Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, PSVR and HTC Vive. This means that over a million UK residents own a high-end VR headset (1,067,508 people)

Between 2022 and 2027, the extended reality market is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 57.91%.

Internet of Things This month in numbers

IoT cellular connections will grow at least eightfold over the next five years.

5.5 billion connected devices

9 million new devices added daily

25% of businesses have already adopted IoT

IoT will have a $15 trillion impact on the global economy by 2025

The global market divides quite evenly in four: China accounts for 26% of global revenue, North America 24%, Europe 23% and Rest of the World 27%.

Nano Technology This month in numbers

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale.

Roughly, 8% of all scientific publications across the globe are in the field of nanotechnology. China tops the list with more than 85,700 nano articles.

Nanotechnologies involve the creation and/or manipulation of materials at the nanometre (nm) scale. One nanometre is 10-9 m or one millionth of a millimetre

Kim Eric Drexler (born April 25, 1955) is an American engineer best known for studies of the potential of molecular nanotechnology (MNT), from the 1970s and 1980s.

The American physicist and Nobel Prize laureate Richard Feynman introduce the concept of nanotechnology in 1959

Genomics This month in numbers

Businesses are realizing how much the Genomics has become a powerful tool for delivering new services, improving patient outcomes and efficiency. With advances in Cloud computing and Big Data analytics, companies can now deliver real-time insights into genomics.

NHS England have increased the number of genomic tests available to patients, via the test directory. As of October 2022, the test directory includes 357 rare disease clinical indications, covering around 3,200 rare and inherited diseases and 203 cancer clinical indications.

It is estimated that the UK contributes around 23% of all COVID-19 sequencing across the world uploaded to GISAID.

Solar Photovoltaic, Hydrogen & Fusion Energy

solar energy is the fastest growing source of renewable energy

hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe

solar and hydrogen are a powerful combination

solar and hydrogen can be used together to create a clean energy future

Wind power contributed 26.1% of the UK's total electricity generation in Q4 2021, with onshore and offshore wind contributing 12% and 14% respectively.

As of 2021, the UK's total solar capacity stood at 14.6 GW, according to trade body Solar Energy UK.

Britain produces around 27 terawatt hours (Twh) of hydrogen a year, UK hydrogen demand is estimated to reach 80 to 140 terawatt-hours in 2035.

The Power a tokamak produce is a field of 13 tesla, equivalent to 280,000 times the Earth's magnetic field.

Nottinghamshire has been selected as the home for ' STEP ' (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production), the UK's prototype fusion energy plant which aims to be built by 2040

Smartphones lead the shorter-range networking technologies, with vehicles, wearables and industrial applications also relying heavily on them

Technologies WiFi, Bluetooth and 802.15.4 (e.g. Zigbee) dominate throughout the forecast period. Almost 75% of connected devices use these technologies. The reason is that it’s easier and cheaper to deploy them than wide area or campus technologies and any IoT deployment would naturally default to these technologies unless there’s a very good reason not to, most obviously the lack of available networks.

WiFi is the second most popular connectivity technology, behind only Bluetooth in terms of connections. This is unsurprising as nearly all phones have WiFi, which means it is readily available for other devices to hop on to, and there are now over 5 billion public WiFi hotspots worldwide (with 80% of them in Asia Pacific). Zigbee is keeping up well with the other short range technologies. It has a strong position in home automation products because there are so many of these, and because they are typically battery or mains powered they can support the long battery life that Zigbee needs to be truly useful.

The landscape for wider area technologies remains fragmented with no clear winners emerging at this point. In fact, some of the most widely used technologies today could disappear completely within this forecast period (such as 3GPP Cat M1 and NB‐IoT), not to mention legacy technologies that have come before them such as 2G/3G but remain popular in developing markets.
