This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.
The robotics and automation sector is powering into November 8, 2025, with a surge of innovation and strategic partnerships that are remapping industrial technology. This week, several breakthrough developments are shaping the industry narrative. AgiBot’s Real-World Reinforcement Learning system is redefining how robots acquire complex skills, enabling machines to master new tasks in minutes on the production line. At RoboBusiness in Silicon Valley, AI-powered industrial and collaborative robots took center stage, blending advanced analytics with real-time adaptability to optimize manufacturing and logistics.
Market momentum remains robust. According to Coherent Market Insights and Grand View Research, the global industrial automation market will reach nearly 238 billion dollars in 2025 and soar to over 449 billion by 2032, with a steady compound annual growth rate near ten percent. The spread of Industrial Internet of Things, edge computing, and AI integration is driving this expansion, and manufacturers are investing heavily in digital transformation to secure efficiency, precision, and resilience. Notably, collaborative robots are now present in over ninety percent of United States manufacturing firms with fewer than one hundred employees, democratizing automation across scale.
Recent partnerships and acquisitions demonstrate a strategic focus on intelligent edge capabilities and automation platforms. Advantech’s collaboration with emergent processor and developer platforms aims to push the boundaries of edge AI—for instance, the NVIDIA Jetson Thor series now delivers over two thousand FP4 teraflops of AI performance, establishing benchmarks for industrial autonomy. Grubhub's expansion of robotic delivery services beyond university campuses and Boston Dynamics’ exclusive partnership with Analog in the United Arab Emirates underscore the growing appetite for real-world robotic deployments.
On the awards stage, Enchanted Tools and CEO Jérôme Monceaux received top industry leadership recognition for advancements in emotionally perceptive humanoids designed for healthcare, hospitality, and retail. This speaks to an evolving vision for robots, not only as technical assets but as adaptive partners.
Despite supply chain and investment headwinds in 2024, Roland Berger analysis suggests that 2025 is a stabilizing year—and a prelude to growth from 2026 onward as innovation unlocks new sector opportunities. Practical takeaways for industry players include prioritizing AI-enabled predictive analytics, strengthening cybersecurity, and investing in scalable automation to mitigate labor and logistical challenges.
Looking to the future, listeners should watch for the rapid convergence of AI, cloud robotics, and 5G, promising smarter factories, flexible supply chains, and new roles for collaborative and humanoid robots.
