In doing so, it can help prevent hospitalizations, serious cardiac events and deaths.

Its business has been remarkably consistent, with revenue growth averaging 29% a year over the past five years. In 2022, the company generated $410.9 million in revenue, up 27.3%. While it reported adjusted EBITDA of -$11.3 million, this was an improvement over 2021, and gross margin improved 238 basis points to 68.5%.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is no stranger to innovation, with its robust graphics processing units (GPUs) revolutionizing numerous industries. Robotics is no exception, requiring rapid computational abilities to meet the demands of cutting-edge systems.

Enter NVIDIA’s Jetson computing platform, tailor-made for artificial intelligence and robotics applications. The platform offers the computational power needed to drive AI and machine learning algorithms, empowering robots to tackle complex tasks with ease.

As the robotics industry continues to expand, it should only serve to enrich Nvidia’s already impressive growth narrative. While revenue only rose slightly to $27 billion in the most recent fiscal year, ended in January, growth has averaged 23% a year over the past five years. Analysts are forecasting revenue will increase 11% in the current fiscal year and 24% the following year.

Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) is an industrial equipment designer that has made massive strides in the sector by automating repetitive tasks. Its products accelerate the testing and verification process across multiple industries.

Moreover, Teradyne persistently refines and improves its robotic equipment, ensuring its technology remains at the forefront of industrial automation. Teradyne’s duopoly with Advantest (OTCMKTS:ATEYY) in the semiconductor testing space provides both companies with stable revenue and reasonable pricing. This commanding market position allows both companies to wield significant influence over a sector poised to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.5% through 2030 to $45 billion.

While revenue declined in 2022, it has averaged nearly 11% over the past five years. Analysts are forecasting revenue will drop 10% this year before growth resumes in 2024, with revenue projected to rise nearly 24%. What’s more, EBITDA and net income margins are in line with historical averages despite the slowdown in top-line expansion.

Patient investors could be well rewarded as Teradyne continues to benefit from its dominant position in the market.
