Robots Takeover: ABB's Shocking Sale, Cobot Craze, and AI's 111B Dollar Invasion!

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

Welcome to Robotics Industry Insider: AI and Automation News. Industrial robotics hit a milestone 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 International Federation of Robotics World Robotics 2025 report. China dominated with 295,000 units, fueling electronics as the top sector at 128,899 installations.

This week, ABB Robotics is selling its division to SoftBank in a major shift, as reported by The Robot Report, while Machina Labs partners with Toyota on AI-driven metal forming for customizable vehicles. Gecko Robotics secured 125 million dollars in funding for AI inspection tools, per Crunchbase data via Robotics and Automation News.

AI integration is accelerating, with the AI in industrial automation market projected to surge from 20.2 billion dollars in 2024 to 111.8 billion by 2034 at 18.8 percent compound annual growth rate, says InsightAce Analytic. Multipurpose collaborative robots, or cobots, now handle complex tasks alongside humans, as seen in ARM Institute demos where cobots retrofit existing lines for pick-and-place, inspection, and machine tending, slashing ergonomically taxing work.

The broader industrial automation market grows from 210.68 billion dollars in 2025 to over 400 billion by 2030 at nearly 10 percent compound annual growth rate, per AlixPartners analysis, driven by smart factories and predictive maintenance. Humanoids edge toward commercial use in manufacturing, with Boston Dynamics pushing generalization in manipulation via AI research.

Practical takeaway: Assess your lines for cobot retrofits to boost efficiency by up to 30 percent in logistics, like Robotnik's mobile manipulators. Explore AI vision partnerships, such as NEXCOM and Stereolabs, for safer operations.

Looking ahead, expect humanoid scaling, Asia-led growth, and AI-cobot dominance through 2030, reshaping factories for flexibility amid labor shortages.

Thank you for tuning in, listeners. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
