In this episode, we dig deep into the evolving landscape of industrial AI, from April Fool’s pranks to real advances in robotics and automation. We break down how the line between hype and reality is blurring, and why it’s more challenging than ever to separate fact from fiction in the age of agentic AI. We welcome Jonas Messner from NEURA Robotics to unpack how their 'robot gym' is collecting real-world data, why new forms of memory and multi-modal sensing are critical, and how open platforms are redefining collaboration in physical AI. Join us as we connect industry history, current breakthroughs, and bold visions for the future—where robots learn, adapt, and even monetize their skills in dynamic environments.

Wir blicken zurück auf die LogiMAT und das European Robotics Forum, sprechen über echte Innovationen und das, was in der Branche wirklich zählt. Warum ist das Thema Truck Loading noch immer ungelöst? Welche Rolle spielen humanoide Roboter – und warum sieht man sie kaum auf Industriemessen? Wir diskutieren, wie Daten zum entscheidenden Faktor werden und warum europäische Player bei Finanzierung und Technologie aufholen müssen. Außerdem teilen wir unsere Eindrücke von aktuellen Messen, Trends aus China und den USA sowie überraschende Entwicklungen bei Roboterhänden und Software-Hardware-Kombinationen. Hört rein, wenn ihr wissen wollt, wo die Robotik wirklich steht und was als Nächstes kommt!

In this episode, I sit down with Tobias, a robotics and automation expert, to unpack what AI agents and generative AI mean for the future of industrial automation. We explore how combining human expertise with advanced agents can optimize production cycles, break down technological silos, and open new possibilities for greenfield automation projects. From hands-on case studies to the hurdles of legacy systems, we dig into what works today, what doesn’t, and where the next breakthroughs might come from. I share insights from our own experiments—what happens when you let an AI agent optimize a real automation cell, and why, for now, human know-how still matters. If you’re curious about the practical realities of AI in production lines and what’s hype versus what’s already delivering value, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we switch gears and dive deep into the world of robotics with Texas Instruments experts Thomas Schneider and Kristen Mogensen. We dive deep into what really moves industrial robots—from the intricacies of motor control and real-time sensing to the challenges of power stage efficiency and miniaturization. We break down how these hidden systems work together to create reliable, responsive, and safe robotics for the factory floor. Alongside our expert guests, we explore new trends like predictive maintenance, and AI-driven diagnostics, and discuss why hardware is often underestimated in the race toward smarter automation. We share insights on the evolving demands of cobots and humanoid platforms, and what it takes to design compact, high-performance electronics that stand up to real-world conditions. If you want to understand what makes a robot tick—and why the smallest details can make the biggest difference—this episode is for you.

Über diesen Podcast
Alle zwei Wochen diskutieren Helmut Schmid und Robert Weber über
Robotik in der Industrie - es geht um neue Technologien, Märkte,
Menschen, Ausbildung und Anwendungen. Wir wollen vor allem auch
kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen ermutigen, Robotik
einzusetzen, denn neben Künstlicher Intelligenz und dem Internet of
Things ist Robotik ein Megatrend in der industriellen Fertigung.
Helmut Schmid arbeitet seit vielen Jahren in der Robotikwelt.
Robert Weber ist Fachjournalist für Industriethemen. Fragen und
Themenvorschläge gerne an robert@robotikpodcast.de oder
