Robots Reign Supreme: Automation Dominates, Reshaping Industries Worldwide!

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

The robotics and automation industry is surging into late August 2025 with energy and innovation, marking a decisive period for breakthrough technologies and transformative business practices. The World Robotics report from the International Federation of Robotics recently revealed that there are over four million industrial robots in factories worldwide, indicating a ten percent year-on-year increase and underscoring robotics' foothold in global manufacturing, especially across Asia, which accounted for seventy percent of new deployments last year. The global industrial automation market, according to multiple industry sources like GlobeNewswire and Straits Research, is set to reach nearly two hundred ten billion dollars this year, with ten percent annual growth projected for this decade—a trend driven by the need for operational efficiency, workforce augmentation, and competitive edge.

Industrial robots and collaborative robots, more commonly known as cobots, are at the forefront of this transformation. Interact Analysis highlights that the cobot market, after a period of recalibration, is poised for renewed growth cycles. Cobots are now more human-aware, boosting productivity on factory floors while enhancing worker safety and flexibility. Robotics & Automation Magazine showcases how companies are partnering with researchers to roll out next-generation AI-infused cobots that learn on the job and integrate seamlessly, thanks to platforms like Palladyne AI’s closed-loop Palladyne IQ, which brings real-time adaptation and self-correction to robotic operations.

Breakthroughs are not limited to the factory. At the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing, Zoomlion introduced new industrial and humanoid robots aimed at spearheading smart manufacturing. On the logistics front, Glīd Tech’s launch of an unmanned, road-to-rail dual mobility platform is redefining the movement of goods with autonomous, service robots designed for flexibility and scalability. Meanwhile, igus made headlines by introducing Iggy Rob, their new humanoid for industrial and service applications.

Industry momentum is further reflected by acquisitions like E Tech Group’s purchase of systems integrator JSat Automation—a move illustrating the importance of integration expertise as enterprises race to automate. For listeners looking to leverage these changes, now is the time to assess automation readiness, pilot cobot solutions, and cultivate partnerships for reskilling teams. With governments rolling out automation-friendly incentives and companies racing to close skills gaps, the practical takeaway is clear: proactive engagement with automation and AI technologies will define operational success.

Looking ahead, expect rapid advances in autonomous systems and AI-driven robotics, particularly in human-robot collaboration, safety, and real-time decision-making.
