Though the project was discontinued in 2023, the push for AI-powered robotics has only gained momentum. In 2024, the AI Robotics market is projected to reach $17 billion before rising at a compound annual growth rate of 24.80% to reach $64.35 billion by 2030. Knightscope (NASDAQ:KSCP) stands out as a leader in this space, developing autonomous security robots that are already being deployed across the US to enhance safety in public spaces.
