Service robots, both personal (for household and entertainment applications) and professional (for defense, security, and medical assistance) are being used increasingly. Technological innovations, with respect to cognition, interaction, and manipulation have made service robotics more appealing. Technology and other component providers have been instrumental in moving the robotics ecosystem forward. For instance, Preferred Networks, a Tokyo-based technology startup, provides its AI technology for Toyota Motor's autonomous driving systems, as well as to the robots produced by Fanuc.

上市物业公司利润率离散程度偏大，单独分拆上市后利润率会出现明显抬升。15 家上市物业公司毛利率的平均值为28%、净利率的平均值为12%，但离散程度却非常大，净利率最低的佳兆业物业仅6%，最高的雅生活服务高达24%是佳兆业物业的4 倍。物业公司单独上市后利润率明显提升，中海物业上市后毛利率由之前的5.6%跳升至12.0%，主要是由于与母公司间的关联交易会对其收入端造成影响，因此物业公司在分拆上市前的利润率水平并不能真实反映其资产质量和经营能力。
