Frankfurt – According to the International Federation of Robotics, artificial intelligence And humanoid technology are the two main trends affecting the automation industry in 2025.
By taking advantage of various AI technologies, robotics can perform a wide range of tasks more effectively. For example, analytics allows robots to process and analyze large amounts of data collected by their sensors.
This helps manage variability and unpredictability in the external environment, in high and low -volume production, as well as in public environments. Robots equipped with vision systems, for example, can analyze past tasks to identify models and optimize their operations for greater precision and speed.
Manufacturers of robots and chips invest in the development of dedicated hardware and software that simulates real environments. This physical AI allows robots to train in virtual environments and operate by experience rather than programming.
These generative AI projects aim to create a “chatgpt moment” for physical AI. This simulation technology is expected to progress in the two traditional industrial robots environments, as well as in service robot applications.
Human -shaped robots also receive a lot of attention. The objective is to create bipedal machines that can perform tasks for general use such as loading a dishwasher by themselves or to work independently on a mounting chain.
Many manufacturers are currently focusing on humanoids who only carry out tasks. Most of these projects are carried out in the automotive industry and in the storage sector.
The challenges are to determine whether and how humanoid robots can do an economically viable and scalable profitability analysis for industrial applications, in particular compared to existing options such as cobots.
