Davos 2026: Elon Musk Predicts Robot-Dominated Future in Davos Debut

Robotics as a service is a business model where companies use robots through a subscription or pay-as-you-go service instead of buying them outright. This approach lowers upfront costs and makes advanced robotics more accessible to businesses of different sizes. RaaS typically includes hardware, software, maintenance, and updates as part of one service package. It is commonly used in warehouses, logistics, cleaning, security, and manufacturing environments. By shifting robotics to an operational expense, RaaS allows companies to scale automation more flexibly.
