Investments in robotics continue to increase and are reflected in recent, impressive statistics. A record 14,232 robots valued at $840 million were ordered from North American robotics companies in the first half of 2015, an increase of 1 percent in units and 7 percent in revenue over the same period in 2014, which held the previous record. Canada makes up about 10 percent of the overall North American robotics market with a growth rate that surpasses that of the overall North American market.
