"There is gold to be mined in understanding the consumer�s decision-making process. -- Cable TV operators, Internet service providers, wireline and wireless network operators, and other mass-consumer communications companies face an array of high-stakes bets in their quest for revenue growth. Mercer�s Customer Value Engineering� approach helps lower the risk of these bets by integrating the insights and interactions of both customer demand and the microeconomics of service delivery."
Embodied AI is shifting industrial robotics from precise to perceptive — from rigid automation to adaptive execution in messy, variable production environments. For manufacturers and logistics providers, this isn't just a technology upgrade; it's a structural change in how work gets organized and business value gets created. Industrial robots have long excelled in static workflows: automotive assembly, fixed production lines, repetitive tasks. Where variability or human interaction arose, they stalled or required prohibitive engineering. Embodied AI Market Development Embodied AI changes this by closing the "sim-to-real" gap. According to the latest worldwide market study by ABI Research, AI-augmented robots have reached genuine adaptive automation with tangible ROI for early adopters. The shift rests on robust algorithms — particularly Dynamic Policy Adjustment and robotics foundation models — that learn and adapt in real time rather than following hard-coded rules. ...
