Robotics
The field combining AI with physical machines to create autonomous or semi-autonomous robots for manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, and other applications.
Over 3.5 million industrial robots are in operation globally, with installations growing 12% annually. Amazon deploys 750,000+ robots across its warehouses. The AI robotics market is projected to reach $74.1 billion by 2030. Foundation models are being applied to robotics — Google's RT-2 and Figure AI's humanoid robots use LLM-style architectures for task planning. Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot demonstrates remarkable physical agility. The convergence of AI and robotics is accelerating as LLMs provide robots with common-sense reasoning and the ability to understand natural language instructions, moving beyond pre-programmed tasks.
