About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of industrial robotics towards physical artificial intelligence and highlights advancements showcased at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation.

This is your Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast. Industrial robotics is moving from scripted motion to what many engineers now call physical artificial intelligence, where machines perceive, reason, and adapt on the fly. At the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Vienna, organizers highlighted how physical artificial intelligence is reshaping industrial robots, shifting them from rigid, caged systems to agile platforms that can share workspaces with humans, adjust to variability, and even learn from demonstration, according to Robotics Industry Insider. On the breakthrough front, Genisom AI used that same conference to debut its full stack embodied intelligence lineup, including the Genisom M1 mobile base and L1 collaborative arms, integrating perception, planning, and control in a single software stack, as reported by Business Insider Markets. This kind of vertically integrated platform is a signal that the value is migrating from hardware alone to tightly coupled hardware and artificial intelligence. Industrial automation is accelerating alongside these advances. The Association for Advancing Automation notes that robot…
