The aviation sector is increasingly turning to robotic technologies to address persistent safety risks and efficiency challenges in ground handling operations. One emerging solution is the use of automated aircraft-cleaning robots, which are being adopted to reduce manual labor and minimize hazards associated with conventional exterior cleaning methods.

OMRON Robotics and Safety Technologies has launched the OL-450S, an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) designed for material handling in industrial settings. The OL-450S expands OMRON’s existing AMR product line and is engineered to support sectors such as automotive, semiconductors, electronics, food, household goods, and healthcare.

Over the past decade, the United States has attracted more than \$470 billion in private investments in artificial intelligence, according to data published by Stocklytics.com and cited in the Artificial Intelligence Index Report 2025 from Stanford University. This figure is nearly three times the combined total of the next three countries—China, the United Kingdom, and Canada—positioning the U.S. as the largest recipient of private capital for AI development globally.

LG Innotek has inaugurated its new “Dream Factory,” a fully automated manufacturing facility that sharply reduces the need for human labor in the production of Flip Chip Ball Grid Arrays (FC-BGAs), a type of high-performance semiconductor substrate. The company aims to scale the FC-BGA business to a projected USD 700 million by 2030.

Algorized, a startup developing artificial intelligence for people-sensing applications, has joined MassRobotics to further its work on technologies aimed at improving safety in environments where humans and robots operate together. The company’s participation in the Boston-based innovation hub is intended to accelerate the development and deployment of its edge-based sensor fusion platform, which enables real-time detection of human presence and monitoring of vital signs without physical contact.

The growing adoption of drones across commercial and consumer sectors is intensifying focus on operational safety, as a new study from Scott Vicknair Injury Lawyers highlights a rise in drone-related injuries and the market response to address these risks. Between 2015 and 2020, over 4,250 drone-related injuries were recorded, with the majority involving lacerations and head trauma. The data reflects mounting concerns about the physical dangers posed by unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly multirotor models, which account for approximately 70 percent of reported accidents.

Dyna Robotics has announced the release of DYNA-1, a commercial-ready robot foundation model designed for fully autonomous operation in real-world settings. According to the company, DYNA-1 is the first robot foundation model to demonstrate commercial viability for high-dexterity tasks, operating continuously for over 24 hours without human supervision.

Epson Robots has announced the launch of its GX-C Series SCARA robots, a new product line designed to enhance automation capabilities in industrial settings. The series, comprising the GX4C, GX8C, GX10C, and GX20C models, operates with the RC800A controller, which incorporates Epson’s proprietary SafeSense technology.

PsiBot, a robotics startup founded in 2024, has introduced its R1 model, an embodied AI system designed to perform complex physical and cognitive tasks in real-world settings. Unlike many current robots focused on basic motion functions, R1 is capable of playing Mahjong with humans, a game the company uses to showcase advanced manipulation and strategic reasoning.

What if work no longer felt like work? And monotonous tasks became entertaining? Or hard labor was replaced by voice commands? automatica 2025 will show how close reality has already come to this vision. Here, exhibitors from all over the world will show how robots, cobots, and humanoids interact with and support humans as new exciting job descriptions are created.
