Looking at the U.S. specifically, robot shipments increased 15% overall, up to 28,478 and marking a record number of robot shipments in the country. Food and consumer goods companies increased their robot acquisition by 60%. Shipments to semiconductor and electronics plants were up 50%, while shipments to metal producers were up 13%.
