3C — computers, communications and consumer electronics — is the second great robotics end-market. It demands speed, precision and rapid changeover for short product cycles and dense, delicate parts, favouring SCARA and Delta robots, machine vision and fine force control.

Concentrated in East Asian manufacturing hubs, 3C automation is sensitive to consumer-electronics cycles but pushes the state of the art in speed and precision — capabilities that then diffuse into other industries.

What to watch

  • Short product cycles demanding fast changeover
  • Vision and force control for delicate parts
  • Consumer-electronics cycles swinging automation demand
