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

Welcome to Robotics Industry Insider: AI and Automation News. Industrial robotics hit record highs in 2024 with 542,076 new installations worldwide, doubling from a decade ago and pushing the global operational stock to 4.66 million units, according to the World Robotics 2025 report from the International Federation of Robotics. China dominated with 295,000 units, focusing on electronics and machinery, while electronics overtook automotive as the top sector at 128,899 installations.

This momentum carries into 2025, where the industrial automation market grows from 198.43 billion dollars in 2024 to 210.68 billion dollars, per The Business Research Company, and services hit 192.75 billion dollars with a 10.8 percent compound annual growth rate through 2030, as Grand View Research reports. AI integration fuels this surge: the AI in industrial automation market jumps from 20.2 billion dollars in 2024 to 111.8 billion dollars by 2034 at 18.8 percent compound annual growth, InsightAce Analytic states, enabling predictive maintenance, quality inspections, and smarter cobots.

Recent highlights include the ARM Institute showcasing cobots for pick-and-place, machine tending, and retrofitting existing lines to cut ergonomic risks and boost efficiency. Generative AI transformed manufacturing with defect-reducing inspections and autonomous robotics coordination, per DirectIndustry's 2025 review. A Northern California startup pilots e-scrap robots recovering defense parts intact, targeting legacy supply chains.

From an insider view, multipurpose robots with AI and modular designs shine in aerospace and logistics, like Robotnik's autonomous mobile robots slashing transport times by 30 percent. China leads with dark factories for humanoids, eyeing 59 million units by 2050 and 836 billion dollars in market value, Hartfiel Automation notes, while Boston Dynamics plans tens of thousands of Atlas deployments.

Practical takeaway: Assess your lines for cobot retrofits to lift return on investment and safety—contact hubs like ARM Institute for audits. Looking ahead, expect humanoid commercialization, Industry 4.0 robot-first factories, and AI-human collaboration dominating through 2030, with pharmaceuticals and batteries leading growth despite a 2025 slowdown, Roland Berger predicts.
