Disruptive technology identification of intelligent logistics robots in AIoT industry: Based on attributes and functions analysis

Abstract

AbstractThis research constructs a disruptive technology identification framework based on attributes and functions and selects intelligent logistics robot technology for empirical analysis in the artificial intelligence & Internet of Things (AIoT) industry. We take the three attributes of technological novelty, breakthrough, and influence as measurement indicators to identify disruptive technologies and perform functional analysis of the technology to find potential markets for disruptive technologies. The research demonstrates that two‐dimensional code technology, sensing technology, intelligent control technology, artificial intelligence technology, and wireless communication technology are disruptive technologies in intelligent logistics robots. The future development directions of intelligent logistics robots include efficient, intelligent control operations, good human‐computer interaction, accurate safety obstacle avoidance, and accurate and efficient position detection. This research has put forward the future development direction of disruptive technology in AIoT and provided a reference for the R&D and manufacture of intelligent logistics robots.
