Can AI driven Adaptive Robots finally solve the flexibility gap in manufacturing
AI-based general purpose robots are moving from experimentation to early-scale deployment across manufacturing operations. This shift is being driven by structural labor shortages, reshoring imperatives, and the growing limits of rule-based automation in high-mix, variable environments.
This webinar is relevant for manufacturing leaders, plant managers, CTOs, automation architects, and strategy teams who need to separate near-term reality from long-term promise in embodied AI and adaptive robotics. The focus is not humanoid spectacle, but where general purpose robots are already delivering measurable value today.
The session explores how modern robot architectures use foundation models and world models to move beyond task-specific programming. We examine practical applications such as unstructured pick-and-place, inspection, material handling, and flexible robotic cells, where adaptive robots reduce changeover time, engineering effort, and dependence on scarce expert skills.
Viewers will gain clarity on the current state of the technology stack, including perception, simulation-first development, and hybrid PLC plus AI architectures. We also share a pragmatic outlook on what is mature, what is emerging, and what remains aspirational.
