Know your weird and wonky Pittsburgh terms? This post is part of our Pittsburghpedia series, a handy glossary of words and phrases unique to our city that’ll help you #talklikeyoulivehere. Let’s fill you in. Today’s entry … Robotics Row

WHAT IS IT? A reference to the concentration of technology companies in Pittsburgh, specifically those working on robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous manufacturing, self-driving cars, and more.

WHERE IS IT? Along the Allegheny River in the Strip District and Lower Lawrenceville.

Dozens of companies and organizations working on robotics and autonomous technologies call the three-mile stretch of Allegheny riverfront home, per TribLive. The area’s past as a shipping and warehousing hub means it offers plenty of large, industrial spaces suited for robotics research. Increasingly, it also offers the kinds of modern-day office spaces that tech companies require.

ETYMOLOGY: The phrase “Robotics Row” can be traced back to one woman, who connects the rise of the term back to one local news organization.

That woman is Jackie Erickson, founder of Jackie Group, a Pittsburgh-based consultancy firm for tech companies, robotics companies, and start-ups.

“I’m usually the kind of person that lets other people take credit, but I’ll take credit for this one,” Erickson, a former staffer for U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, said of the phrase. “It was a very good marketing effort that cost zero dollars.”

When attention started to focus on the tech companies being drawn to Pittsburgh in the first half of this decade, media coverage often employed terms like “Roboburgh” in distilling the phenomenon into a single, tidy, headline-ready buzzword.

But some engineers from the west coast bristled at references to Pittsburgh’s “Silicon Strip,” Erickson said.

A native of Pittsburgh herself, Erickson quickly recognized the role robotics would play in Pittsburgh’s tech economy and wanted a succinct way to refer to the prevalence of robotics companies in the Strip District without offending west-coast transplants.

“I was getting calls from journalists and I started saying just call this ‘Robotics Row,’” Erickson recalled in a recent phone interview with The Incline.

She credits local outlets like TribLive with adopting and helping to popularize the term.

“I think the trigger was the arrival of Uber and Bossa Nova, and I said to (TribLive reporter-turned-editor Aaron Aupperlee), now is the time to do the ‘Robotics Row’ story. And it was Aaron’s article that really kicked it off.”

Erickson said soon after that 2017 article, representatives of the South Korean electronics giant LG came to town.

“And they said they wanted to go ‘Robotics Row,’ and I said, ‘You read the article, didn’t you?’ And that’s why I tell people to never underestimate the power of local reporting.”

Politicians — some local and some not — started using the phrase. Ivanka Trump tweeted it out ahead of a 2018 visit to town. And the rest, as they say, is linguistic history.

So what do you get for coining a phrase that reaches this level of ubiquity?

“What I get out of this is a nice smile,” Erickson explained.

ROBOTICS ROW(S)? Of course, there have been other terms applied to Pittsburgh’s tech sector — Roboburgh, Robot Belt, Silicon Valley East — some dating back to the last millennium. It’s all part of what former Post-Gazette tech reporter Courtney Linder described as the official push to reclaim or replace the Rust Belt label and rebrand an industrial area like the Strip as a 21st century hub of innovation.

But the phrase “Robotics Row” has a staying power the others didn’t. It’s also become increasingly relevant as more tech companies — autonomous vehicle developers like Uber and Argo among them — set up shop in the area.

Much of this convergence owes to the fact that Pittsburgh is home to Carnegie Mellon University, which claims the nation’s first undergrad program in AI and which has a pioneering computer science program and influential robotics institute.

And while the tech presence has grown in neighborhoods like East Liberty, too, the Strip District remains the most closely associated with those companies and developers focused on robotics and artificial intelligence. This includes outfits like RE2 Robotics, Astrobotic, Voci Technologies, Argo AI, Simcoach Games, Bossa Nova Robotics, and Idelic, just to name a few.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership is actively working to lure tech companies to neighboring Downtown. And depending on the success of that effort, the future could hold a much longer Robotics Row — or maybe Robotics Rows.

Dublin, Nov. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 'Global Inventory Robots Market 2019-2023' report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The inventory robots market will register a CAGR of over 13% by 2023
Inventory robot companies are focusing on the development of user-friendly software solutions which are intuitive and allow the users to generate geospatial reports, planograms, and charts. Vendors are also offering fleet management tools that deploy, operate, monitor, and optimize the company's inventory robots. Thus, the emergence of advanced fleet management and visualization software will be a key factor driving the growth of the inventory robots market during the forecast period.
Market Overview
Increase in automation by retailers to combat competition
Growth of the e-commerce industry, rising wages, and increasing rivalry in the retail industry have led retailers to adopt automation to enhance customer experience. To reduce losses due to misplaced products, and out of stock and overstocked merchandise, retailers are deploying inventory robots which can carry out effective audit of items in store shelf. Thus, to gain a competitive edge in the market, retailers are adopting robots for inventory management, which, in turn, is resulting in market growth.
High cost of deployment limiting the adoption by small retailers
The deployment of inventory robots requires a high initial investment which limits the adoption of these robots by small retailers. Apart from the high hardware costs, the cost of software, services, maintenance and operation also contribute to the high overall costs. Inventory robot vendors are offering robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) to encourage the adoption of these robots by small retailers. However, the high cost of deployment will continue to act as detrimental factor to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
For the detailed list of factors that will drive and challenge the growth of the inventory robots market during the 2019-2023, view the full report.
Competitive Landscape
The market appears to be concentrated with the presence of few companies including Bossa Nova Robotics, and Fetch Robotics. The competitive environment is expected to become quite intense during the forecast period due to the entry of new players in the market. Factors such as the increasing adoption of automation and robotics by retailers to gain a competitive edge over rivals, will provide considerable growth opportunities to inventory robot manufactures. Bossa Nova Robotics, Fetch Robotics, Keonn Technologies, MetraLabs, and SIMBE ROBOTICS are some of the major companies covered in this report.
