Exit Survey
 
 
Thank you for your interest in taking this short survey. We are from Fuld Omniscope, a Boston-headquartered market research firm. We are studying the global robotics industry, specifically:

• The purchase decision criteria of customers
• The current dynamics of the market
• The perception of customers towards different companies playing in the market

We wanted to seek your help in this study given your experience in the industry. We will be happy to share some key findings of our study with you once we complete it. Please note that we aggregate all the responses from these discussions and we don’t attribute them to specific individuals.

We estimate that this short questionnaire will take about 10-15 minutes to answer. Please accept our gratitude in advance for your help!
