This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.

Welcome to Robotics Industry Insider, your trusted source for the latest in industrial automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence integration. As the sector prepares for a resurgence after last year's slowdown, innovation is fueling new possibilities across manufacturing, logistics, and beyond. According to Straits Research, the global industrial automation market is expected to grow from over two hundred nine billion dollars this year to more than four hundred twenty billion dollars by 2033, reflecting the push towards smarter factories and higher productivity. Grand View Research highlights a rapid growth rate for automation and control systems, expected to reach nearly three hundred eighty billion dollars by 2030, with Asia Pacific retaining the largest market share thanks to aggressive adoption in manufacturing.

Listeners should take note of several recent technology breakthroughs. Universal Robots has just unveiled the UR8 Long collaborative robot for space-constrained industrial tasks, like welding and inspection, while Nachi launched the CMZ12 cobot, offering an increased twelve kilogram payload for flexible production lines. The debut of the Iggy Rob humanoid robot by igus targets industrial and service environments, indicating how humanoid platforms are being leveraged outside research labs and into operational settings. Glīd Tech’s new unmanned road-to-rail logistics platform exemplifies cross-industry automation, tackling complex supply challenges in transport with autonomous systems.

Major events like the Schweissen and Schneiden trade fair and FABTECH 2025 in Chicago saw leading companies such as Comau, Kawasaki Robotics, and Fanuc America demonstrate advances in collaborative robots, welding technologies, and robotic painting systems that promise to address the industry’s persistent labor shortages and growing demand for production flexibility. Meanwhile, Dexterity’s Mech robot is undergoing operational trials for automated truck unloading in Tokyo, spotlighting the real-world application and validation of “superhumanoid” robotics in logistics.

Industry forecasts from Roland Berger warn listeners that 2025 is a transitional year as capital expenditures recalibrate and inventories remain high, but the fundamentals point to robust growth ahead. The ongoing integration of artificial intelligence—exemplified by closed-loop automation platforms such as Palladyne IQ and AI-powered cleaning robots from Pudu Robotics—continues transforming task execution, error reduction, and human-machine collaboration. Practical takeaways for industry professionals include focusing investment on agile collaborative robots for safer, more efficient workflows, monitoring AI-driven platforms for predictive maintenance, and prioritizing integration partnerships that enhance system interoperability.

Looking forward, listeners should expect rapid modularization of robotics, deeper synergy between AI and edge computing, and an increase in service-oriented robots pushing the boundaries of automation into new verticals.
