Robots Got Brains Now and Your Factory Floor Will Never Be the Same
About this episode
The episode discusses the transformative impact of AI on robotics and automation in factories and warehouses.
This is your Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast. Robotics and automation are entering a new phase where artificial intelligence is no longer just “on top” of machines, it is becoming the control layer for entire factories and warehouses. The International Federation of Robotics reports that global industrial robot installations reached about five hundred forty two thousand units in 2024, more than double a decade ago, and Markets and Markets projects the industrial robotics market to roughly double again to around thirty five billion dollars by 2030. This is the backdrop for everything happening now in industrial and collaborative robots. On the technology front, Automate Show reports that humanoid robots are moving from lab prototypes into pilot fleets on manufacturing lines, especially in the United States and China, with analysts like Interact Analysis forecasting humanoid revenues to hit fifteen billion dollars by 2035, driven by line tending, intralogistics, and inspection. At the same time, collaborative arms are getting smarter rather than just stronger. According to Nvidia’s recent National Robotics Week coverage, so called physical artificial…
