This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.
The robotics and automation sector stands at a dynamic crossroads as we approach the end of 2025. Despite a temporary cooling of investments and industry-wide recalibrations, the field is on the cusp of a robust resurgence driven by technological breakthroughs and increased integration of artificial intelligence into manufacturing processes. The global industrial automation market, valued at over 206 billion U.S. dollars last year, is projected to grow more than ten percent annually through 2030, signaling strong sustained demand for smarter, more flexible industrial solutions according to Grandview Research and Roland Berger. This growth is underpinned by relentless pressure for efficiency, mass customization, and the ongoing shortage of skilled labor across key manufacturing regions, particularly in the Asia Pacific where the industry commands nearly 40 percent of the global market.
Recent highlights from the industry showcase this momentum. Productive Robotics has just expanded its suite of Blaze automated welding systems, unveiling new technology explicitly designed to tackle critical production bottlenecks—this was a major talking point at Fabtech 2025, highlighting the industry’s push toward solving real-world manufacturing challenges with advanced robotics. Meanwhile, Brother International Corporation has launched its DG series of high-stiffness reducers, engineered to deliver unprecedented precision for the next generation of automation and smart factories, as reported in their October 2025 announcement. On the policy front, the U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated a national security investigation into robotics and industrial machinery imports, a move that could significantly reshape supply chains and domestic innovation strategies in the months ahead.
Underpinning these news items is a deeper technical trend: artificial intelligence and machine learning are now deeply embedded in industrial robotics, enabling systems to learn from human operators, predict maintenance needs, and adapt processes in real time. Collaborative robots, or cobots, are increasingly commonplace, safely working alongside human teams to boost productivity and flexibility. The Industrial Internet of Things continues to mature, linking sensors, machines, and control systems into seamless, data-driven networks that optimize everything from energy use to quality control. These advancements do not exist in isolation—strategic partnerships and a resilient mergers-and-acquisitions landscape continue to drive consolidation and cross-pollination of expertise across the sector.
For professionals and decision-makers, the practical takeaway is clear: now is the time to evaluate how AI-powered automation and collaborative robotics can address specific pain points in your operations. Whether it’s deploying cobots to fill labor gaps, leveraging predictive maintenance to reduce downtime, or integrating IIoT for smarter supply chain management, the tools are mature and the return on investment is increasingly provable. Looking ahead, expect the next wave of growth to be fueled by even tighter human-machine collaboration, generative AI for process design, and heightened focus on sustainability through automation-driven resource optimization.
