The robotics & automation context.
Robotics & Automation tracks qualifying U.S. facilities manufacturing industrial robots, humanoid robots, automated systems and related robotic equipment. The category follows the physical production sites where robotics companies build machines and core components, while distinguishing them from software-only, research-only, warehouse-operations and end-user deployment projects.
