This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.
Industrial robotics and automation are advancing at a breathtaking pace as the global automation market accelerates towards an estimated 590.9 billion dollars by 2035, driven by a strong focus on operational efficiency, advanced technologies, and the growing demands of smart manufacturing. In manufacturing and logistics, the integration of artificial intelligence has been a game-changer, giving rise to next-generation collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots that increase throughput and reliability. According to Spherical Insights, the market is expanding at a nine percent compound annual growth rate, propelled by investments in robotics, IoT, and AI-powered automation.
Recent breakthroughs are reshaping key sectors. For example, warehouse automation just took a leap forward as Logic announced the launch of its Octopus overhead robot, engineered to significantly speed up warehouse operations with minimal need for fixed infrastructure. At the same time, Kuka has introduced the KMP 250P, an autonomous mobile platform that can carry up to 250 kilograms, further blurring the lines between flexible robotics and traditional automated guided vehicles. In construction, Bedrock Robotics has emerged from stealth with 80 million dollars in new funding, promising to transform job sites through scalable AI-based automation solutions focused on both safety and productivity.
Industrial automation is not just about machines—artificial intelligence is deeply embedded across new systems, from advanced simulation tools enhancing workcell design, to data-driven sensors that optimize maintenance and reduce downtime. In logistics, partnerships abound, such as Exotec teaming up with E80 Group to bring end-to-end automation to warehouses, while ABB Robotics is spearheading AI-driven rebuilding projects to help communities recover faster after major disasters.
For those operating in or adjacent to manufacturing, the practical takeaway is clear: companies that invest in automation and AI now see a twenty-two percent reduction in operating costs and up to two hundred percent return on investment in the first year, according to Thunderbit. Yet, successful automation is about more than adopting new technology—seventy percent of projects fall short without a clear digital strategy and robust change management. As we look to the future, expect ongoing convergence between AI, robotics, and edge computing, setting the stage for smart factories and fundamentally changing workforce roles. Opportunities lie in upskilling teams, piloting collaborative robot solutions, and exploring strategic partnerships.

Industrial robotics and automation are advancing at a breathtaking pace
as the global automation market accelerates towards an estimated five
hundred ninety point nine billion dollars by twenty thirty five,
driven by a strong focus on operational efficiency, advanced technologies,
and the growing demands of smart manufacturing. In manufacturing and logistics,
(00:21):
the integration of artificial intelligence has been a game changer,
giving rise to next generation collaborative robots and autonomous mobile
robots that increase throughput and reliability. According to Spherical Insights,
the market is expanding at a nine percent compound annual
growth rate, propelled by investments in robotics, IoT and AI

powered automation. Recent breakthroughs are reshaping key sectors. For example,
warehouse automation just took a leap forward as Logic announced
the launch of its Octopus overhead robot, engineered to significantly
speed up warehouse operations with minimal need for fixed infrastructure.
At the same time, Kuka has introduced the KMP two

five zero P, an autonomous mobile platform that can carry
up to two hundred and fifty kilograms, further blurring the
lines between flexible robotics and traditional automated guided vehicles in construction.
Bedrock Robotics has emerged from stealth with eighty million dollars
in new funding, promising to transform job sites through scalable
(01:24):
AI based automation solutions focused on both safety and productivity.
Industrial automation is not just about machines. Artificial intelligence is
deeply embedded across new systems, from advanced simulation tools enhancing
work cell design, to data driven sensors that optimize maintenance
