Industry Findings: AI robotics agenda in Singapore now emphasises rapid commercialisation and ecosystem scale as public programmes and buyer demand converge on interoperable, safety-first platforms. Our assessment points to stronger emphasis on accelerators, standardisation, and customer-access routes that shorten proof-of-concept timelines and improve export readiness. A single structural trigger arrived when the National Robotics Programme launched the RoboNexus accelerator in Mar-2025, creating curated market-access and mentoring paths for local robotics SMEs. That initiative reduces go-to-market friction by supplying vetted pilot partners, market linkages, and regulatory navigation, which in turn raises buyer confidence and shifts procurement toward modular robots that demonstrate demonstrable integration pathways across healthcare, facilities, and last-mile logistics.
Industry Player Insights: Among the many companies in this market, a few include ST Engineering, LionsBot, OTSAW, and dConstruct etc. Vendors in Singapore concentrated on commercial rollouts and export-ready productisation. LionsBot joined the inaugural RoboNexus cohort in Mar-2025, strengthening its customer pipeline for autonomous cleaning platforms and institutional procurement. OTSAW expanded institutional service contracts in 2024 to scale AMR-as-a-service models across hospitality and healthcare customers. ST Engineering deepened robotics R&D partnerships to accelerate sensor-fusion and certification pipelines during 2024. These vendor moves shorten deployment lead-times and push Singaporean buyers to favour suppliers that combine local pilot references, repeatable service models, and rapid compliance pathways.
