This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.Welcome to Robotics Industry Insider, where today’s update brings an exclusive look at the innovations and partnerships propelling industrial robotics and automation forward. Amid a recalibrating investment landscape, even as 2025 brings a brief slowdown after years of expansion, the next surge in growth is on the horizon, driven by digital transformation and sector-specific momentum. New reports from Roland Berger and Straits Research project the global industrial automation market will climb from over 209 billion dollars in 2025 toward an astonishing 420 billion by 2033, underlining how automation has become both a business imperative and a strategic differentiator.Breakthroughs continue at events like the Global Polymer Summit and PACK EXPO Las Vegas. Companies such as igus are making automation more accessible with the unveiling of its Fairino FR20 collaborative palletizing robot, slashing costs for manufacturers looking to modernize packaging and logistics. Universal Robots has announced the UR8 Long, offering extended reach and multi-axis motion optimization, which directly addresses persistent labor shortages and versatility demands in space-constrained environments. Meanwhile, Delta Electronics’ debut of collaborative robots and artificial intelligence cognitive modules at Automation Taipei 2025 signals deeper AI integration, allowing for adaptive automation and real-time decision making on the production line.Autonomous mobile robots are crossing performance thresholds, as demonstrated by Ati Motors’ Product Day with the Sherpa 10K. This robot brings heavy-duty towing with advanced sensor fusion, while their Sherpa Mecha platform blends intelligent actuation and modular hardware, inviting academic and commercial collaborations to develop next-generation industrial humanoids. Industry partnerships and strategic alliances are in focus with Universal Robots selecting Technicon as its solutions partner in pharmaceuticals, bringing flexible automation to one of the world’s most regulated sectors.Practical takeaways for listeners: Today’s successful deployment of robotics demands more than just hardware. It is about integrating artificial intelligence for predictive maintenance, process optimization, and modularity—key considerations when planning your next capital investment. Novel platforms with robot-agnostic operating systems, like OpenMind’s OM1, emphasize the value of ecosystem compatibility and upgradability.Looking ahead, listeners should watch trends like generative AI-powered swarm robotics, which promise agile, distributed manufacturing, and the expansion of intelligent microfactories fueled by AI. While 2025 growth is tempered by inventory recalibration, industry leaders who invest now in scalable interoperable systems and skilled talent will set the pace when the next wave accelerates.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Robotics Industry Insider—part of Quiet Please productions.
