This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.
Welcome to Robotics Industry Insider: AI and Automation News. Physical AI is igniting breakthroughs in robotics, with robots now understanding the real world, reasoning, and planning actions for commercial deployment in manufacturing, as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared at CES earlier this year, calling it the ChatGPT moment for physical AI. Manufacturing Dive reports this shift from research to production, highlighted by Hyundai Motor Groups debut of its Atlas humanoid robot for factory settings.
The industrial automation market hits USD 233.6 billion this year, per Research Nester, surging toward USD 533 billion by 2035 at a 9.5 percent compound annual growth rate, driven by industrial robots capturing over 56 percent share through precision and efficiency gains. GrayMatter Robotics just opened its 100,000 square foot headquarters in Carson, California, showcasing AI-powered systems on FANUC platforms that autonomously handle sanding, grinding, and polishing without manual programming, using physics-informed AI for high-mix production.
ABB Robotics dazzles at SLAS 2026 in Boston with its Autonomous Versatile Robotics platform, blending collaborative robots and AI for seamless lab workflows, as Drug Target Review details, promising higher throughput and data-driven operations. Meanwhile, Nauticus Robotics secures up to USD 50 million investment from Master Investment Group for an autonomous robotics hub in the UAE.
Agentic AI, making independent decisions, and Robots-as-a-Service models are accelerating, with Roland Berger forecasting up to nine percent growth through 2030 amid supply chain splits and nearshoring.
Listeners, audit your automation gaps now, pilot AI agents for maintenance, and explore Robots-as-a-Service to cut upfront costs. These trends point to fully autonomous factories by 2030, boosting productivity amid labor shortages.
