This is you Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News podcast.
Today’s robotics industry is driving a new era of productivity, as manufacturers and technology giants push the boundaries of automation with artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, and collaborative machines designed for real-world impact. Recent data from Grand View Research shows the industrial automation and control systems market is surging, projected to hit nearly 379 billion dollars by 2030 after reaching 226.76 billion just this year. Even while 2025 has brought a moderation in the pace of investment as firms recalibrate inventory and spending, as explained by Roland Berger, innovation in robotics tech and digital transformation are setting the stage for a powerful rebound.
Amazon has just introduced Blue Jay, a high-speed, multi-jointed robot engineered to tackle repetitive, dynamic tasks in its fulfillment operations. Project Eluna, its AI-driven optimization platform, promises to accelerate warehouse delivery and raise the bar for real-time, hands-off logistics. Collaborative robots—or cobots—are also gaining traction beyond mega-factories. According to Autodesk, over ninety-three percent of United States manufacturers with fewer than one hundred employees are using cobots or strongly considering them as part of their modernization strategies.
In the United Kingdom, the Manufacturing Technology Centre’s new Automation and Robotics Accelerator Programme is offering 200,000 pounds in support to at least two innovative companies, aiming to mature prototypes and deliver automation to sectors still lagging behind. This kind of targeted funding fills critical gaps between research labs and scaled commercial deployment, especially at the demonstration and pilot project stages.
At a technical level, industry watchers should pay attention to the spread of distributed control systems, the combination of edge and cloud computing, and machine vision powered by artificial intelligence. These technologies underpin next-gen predictive maintenance and enable seamless human-machine collaboration on the factory floor.
For those looking to capitalize on the current landscape, now is the time to invest in workforce upskilling on human-machine teaming and digital literacy, audit existing processes for automation opportunities, and monitor government incentives driving market adoption in their sector.
Looking ahead, listeners can expect continued growth in Asia Pacific, renewed automation capital expenditure once current supply challenges ease, and further convergence between mechanical systems and adaptive decision-making software. The path forward will fuse sustainability, efficiency, and safety at unprecedented scale.
