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

Industrial automation and robotics are moving at breakneck speed, with transformative breakthroughs and strategic partnerships shaping everything from factory floors to the global marketplace. According to Precedence Research, industrial automation worldwide is worth over 256 billion dollars in 2025 and is forecasted to more than double by 2034, driven by the seamless integration of artificial intelligence and robotics to enhance productivity, safety, and flexibility. Manufacturers across sectors are capitalizing on intelligent automation, using artificial intelligence-powered robots that perform repetitive tasks with unprecedented precision and speed, freeing human workers to concentrate on higher-value problem-solving and oversight.

Recent industry news underscores this surge in practical innovation. Chef Robotics and ILPRA just unveiled an artificial intelligence-powered packaging automation system tailored for ready meal production, demonstrating the sector’s rapid adoption of robotics to solve real-world bottlenecks. AutoStore rolled out an expanded product portfolio including AutoCase for efficient case handling and a new Frozen-Only Grid, enabling temperature-sensitive automation for logistics and grocery distribution. Another notable headline: Locus Robotics reported record growth, successfully achieving six billion picks faster than at any time in its history, highlighting skyrocketing demand for smart warehouse automation.

A deeper dive into emerging technology reveals alliance-driven progress and technical advancements. ABB Robotics’ investment in LandingAI is poised to make robot vision smarter and more accessible, a move that accelerates both deployment speeds and learning curves. Machina Labs teamed up with Toyota to pioneer novel metal forming methods, setting the stage for next-generation vehicles built through flexible intelligent automation. Meanwhile, startups like 4D1 are shaping the future with artificial intelligence-ready indoor positioning systems delivering real-time manufacturing data, and Apera AI made headlines by ranking among the fastest-growing Canadian tech companies thanks to their vision-guided robotics breakthroughs.

For listeners in manufacturing and operations, a few pragmatic takeaways stand out. Embracing collaborative robots, or cobots, is no longer just for large enterprises—smarter, safer platforms are now accessible to small and midsize businesses, levelling the playing field and boosting return on investment. Pairing artificial intelligence with robotics not only trims costs but enables predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput. As edge computing and internet of things devices proliferate, investing now in systems that offer real-time monitoring and adaptive control will future-proof operations and ensure competitiveness as automation advances.

Looking ahead, listeners can expect intensified competition as Asia Pacific continues to lead in automation investment, and talent shortages push demand for intuitive, self-learning systems. The market’s trajectory underscores that the future belongs to those with bold adaptation strategies, tight human-machine collaboration, and a commitment to data-driven operations.
