Hear me out: NOT robotics. The recent things were trendy and had hundreds of startups because a small team could hype something up and generate a life changing amount of money very quickly. It is much more difficult to "get that bag" with a robotics startup, so founders aren't going to gravitate as much towards it (other than ones that are already super rich, but statistically there aren't many of those).

The next trend IMHO will be apps and interfaces for whatever replaces websites over the next 5 years. Whether that's API layers for systems to communicate with each other, "SEO" for chatbots, whatever CMSs will morph into, etc. remains to be seen. Websites (in the 90s/2000s sense of the word) are clearly on the way out, but it's unclear what exactly will replace them.
