I came to the Silicon Valley region in 2010 because I knew it was the robotics center of the world, but it certainly doesn�t get anywhere near the media attention that some other robotics regions do. In California, robotics technology is a small fish in a much bigger technology pond, and that tends to conceal how important Californian companies are to the robotics revolution.
This conservative dataset from Pitchbook�[Vertical: Robotics and Drones]�provides data for 7166 robotics and drones companies, although a more customized search would provide closer to 10,000 robotics companies world wide. Regions ordered by size are:
North America 2802
Asia 2337
Europe 2285
Middle East 321
Oceania 155
South America 111
Africa 63
Central America 13
