The question isn’t whether to adopt advanced vision-based perception, but how quickly can you implement it to stay competitive? Leading robotics companies like Capra Robotics and wheel.me are already using RGo Robotics’ comprehensive perception solution to slash deployment time, reduce development costs, and bring disruptive AI-powered innovations to market. RGo provides a seamless transition to next-gen perception systems, ensuring faster commissioning and improved customer satisfaction.

EV production is set to rebound in 2025, according to ABB’s latest survey. This is welcome news after a 15% decline in automotive orders last year. The survey reveals that a strong majority of respondents expect EV growth, with hybrids seen as the most promising variant for this year. Additionally, most auto companies consider robotics crucial for their growth, identifying AMRs as having the highest potential. Notably, humanoid robots are being considered. Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Figure, and Tesla are already being tested in automotive factories. As always, where automotive leads, the rest of the manufacturing economy follows. 2025 is shaping up to be a promising year. Thanks to ABB for the insights and The Robot Report for the well-written article. https://lnkd.in/eFgsjBTh ATI Industrial Automation is ready to support the growth of robotics in automotive. #robotics
