CHICAGO—The number of industrial robot installations in the United States increased 11 percent to reach 38,000 units in 2025, according to new data just released by the International Federation of Robotics.
ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — FANUC America is collaborating with NVIDIA to advance the use of physical AI in industrial robotics, combining automation systems with AI computing and simulation technologies to support more adaptive manufacturing environments.
BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — As National Robotics Week highlights advances in automation, one trend is becoming clear: robotics is no longer confined to pilot projects or isolated applications. It is being deployed across production lines to solve specific manufacturing challenges. In many cases, the shift is happening at the process level.
BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — As National Robotics Week highlights the rapid evolution of automation, manufacturers are beginning to deploy a new generation of intelligent robotic systems capable of adapting to real-world production environments.
Robotics is no longer defined by motion alone. The next phase of automation is being driven by intelligence — systems that can perceive, decide and adapt in real time on the factory floor.
ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — FANUC America is investing $90 million to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint, with plans to build a new 840,000-square-foot facility in Michigan to support future robot production.
FREMONT, Calif. — Manufacturers have long automated repetitive, high-volume production tasks, but many assembly operations that require dexterity and adaptability have remained difficult to automate. eBots Robotics, a Silicon Valley-based company, is among those focusing on these applications. The company has developed dual-arm robotic systems designed to perform assembly work that traditionally required skilled human operators, particularly in industries such as electronics, semiconductors, medical devices and electric vehicles.
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Dürr is rolling out a new high-resolution paint application system that lets automakers print complex graphics, patterns and lettering directly onto vehicle bodies, replacing the manual step of gluing on films and decals.
