# Robotics Industry Insider: AI & Automation News for May 20, 2025

As the robotics and automation industry continues its rapid expansion, yesterday's conclusion of Automate 2025 in Detroit—North America's largest automation event—revealed several groundbreaking developments that will shape the industry's future.

NVIDIA's vice president of robotics and edge AI, Deepu Talla, delivered a keynote highlighting how manufacturing is experiencing a fundamental shift through industrial automation and AI-powered robots. NVIDIA's three-computer architecture is enabling robot training, simulation, and accelerated runtime, empowering the entire robotics ecosystem to accelerate toward software-defined autonomous facilities.

In significant industry news, DHL Group announced on May 13 a memorandum of understanding with Boston Dynamics for an additional 1,000-robot deployment, accelerating their cross-business automation strategy. This represents one of the largest commercial deployments of advanced robots to date.

The industrial automation market continues its impressive growth trajectory. Currently valued at approximately $256 billion in 2025, the market is projected to reach $569 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 9.31%. North America remains the dominant market, but Asia Pacific is expanding rapidly, surpassing $99.85 billion this year.

At Automate 2025, several companies showcased innovations that blur the line between physical and digital worlds. Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots jointly presented AI-powered automation solutions for integrated workflows. KUKA, Standard Bots, and Vention demonstrated hardware and robots powered by NVIDIA's accelerated computing, Omniverse and Isaac platforms.

A key trend emerging from the event is the focus on "embodied AI systems"—the integration of artificial intelligence into physical robotic systems. These systems require extensive training with real-world data, but new synthetic data generation techniques are accelerating development pipelines.

For manufacturers looking to implement these technologies, the emphasis has shifted to ease of deployment and collaborative robotics that work alongside human workers. OnRobot's D:PLOY platform and Kassow Robots' advanced cobot applications highlight this trend toward simplified integration.

As these technologies mature, we can expect to see more AI-enabled robots transforming not just manufacturing, but reshaping supply chains, healthcare, and retail operations throughout 2025 and beyond.
