Robots Gossiping with ChatGPT? Scandal in the Factory!

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

This week in Robotics Industry Insider, the global robotics and automation sector is reaching unprecedented momentum, transforming the landscape of manufacturing, logistics, and beyond. Recent data shows that the value of new industrial robot installations hit 16.5 billion dollars last year, with over 4.28 million robots now deployed across factories worldwide. Asia continues to lead global deployment, notably with China accounting for the majority of new installations, while Europe and the Americas trail but remain significant markets. This expansion is fueled by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, persistent labor shortages, and a strategic shift toward post-pandemic resilience.

A defining trend in 2025 is the relentless integration of advanced AI into robotics. Companies are investing in so-called “physical AI” simulators—virtual environments where robots learn to perform complex tasks via generative and analytical AI models. This accelerates robotic autonomy, essentially creating a “ChatGPT moment” for the physical world. Such developments enable robots to self-optimize, analyze sensor data in real time, and adapt to new industrial scenarios with minimal human intervention. For example, ABB’s new generation of IRB 1200 robots offers higher cycle times and unprecedented precision, while cognitive robotics provider NEURA Robotics has partnered with GFT Technologies to develop sophisticated physical AI control software.

Industry partnerships and collaborations are key drivers. NEURA Robotics and GFT Technologies are joining forces to push the boundaries of AI for robotics, while Miso and Roboworx are collaborating to scale and service autonomous kitchen robots. These alliances foster the rapid commercialization and servicing of new automation technologies, driving down costs and expanding market access.

The latest market projections are striking. ResearchAndMarkets forecasts the global industrial automation market to nearly triple from 169.82 billion dollars in 2025 to over 443 billion dollars by 2035, while Precedence Research estimates the 2025 market at 256.02 billion dollars, on track to reach over 569 billion by 2034. This explosive growth is powered by investments in robotics, control systems, and AI-driven automation software. In North America, robot orders in the first quarter of 2025 held steady, with the automotive sector fueling a 15 percent increase in order value—pointing to a shift toward more sophisticated, higher-value automation projects.

For industrial leaders and teams, the message is clear: invest in AI-powered robotics to remain competitive. Practical actions include exploring partnerships to access cutting-edge technologies, piloting collaborative robots for safer human-robot teamwork, and leveraging AI to optimize workflows and predictive maintenance.

Looking ahead, automation is set to unlock even higher productivity, safer workplaces, and adaptability as industries confront economic and workforce challenges. The rise of physical AI and generative models will soon allow robots to seamlessly collaborate with humans, adjust to changing environments, and even “learn” new jobs without manual programming.
