About this episode

The episode discusses the rapid growth of the industrial robotics market and the integration of AI in robotics technology.

This is your Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast. According to industry market research, the industrial robotics market was valued at 44.79 billion United States dollars in 2024 and is projected to reach 115.34 billion by 2032, a growth profile that reflects how quickly factories are adopting automation for speed, consistency, and labor resilience. In the latest signals from the sector, GMEX Robotics said it is shifting toward an artificial intelligence driven robotics platform, with a late June technology release, a mid-July beta launch of its robot brain system, and a planned acquisition agreement by the end of the third quarter, underscoring how software, hardware, and consolidation are increasingly moving together in robotics[1]. The most important technical trend is the rise of physical intelligence, where machine learning systems do not just analyze data but control motion, perception, and task planning inside industrial robots and collaborative robots. That matters because modern automation is no longer limited to fixed repeatable motions; it now includes adaptive inspection, warehouse picking, predictive maintenance, and flexible production cells that…
