Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robots Market

The global artificial intelligence (AI) robots market is projected to grow from USD 6.11 billion in 2025 to USD 33.39 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 40.4%. The surging demand for automation and intelligent systems across the manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and defense sectors will drive market growth. Organizations are increasingly adopting AI robots to improve productivity, precision, and operational efficiency, while minimizing human involvement in repetitive or hazardous tasks. Advances in machine learning, computer vision, and sensor technologies are enabling robots to perform more complex cognitive and physical tasks. Furthermore, the rise of Industry 4.0 and collaborative robotics (cobots) is accelerating the integration of AI-driven robots across various industrial and service environments.

Nabtesco Corporation (Japan), NIDEC CORPORATION (Japan), Panasonic Corporation (Japan), YASKAWA ELECTRIC CORPORATION (Japan), ABB (Switzerland) and Texas Instruments Incorporated (US) are among the major players in the artificial intelligence market. Market participants have expanded their product offerings and increased their global reach through strategic growth approaches, including product launches, collaborations, and partnerships. In March 2025, NVIDIA launched Isaac GR00T N1, one of the world’s first open humanoid robot foundation models and Simulation Frameworks to speed up robot development. GR00T N1 is the first in a series of fully customizable models that NVIDIA will pre-train and release to robotics developers worldwide, accelerating the transformation of industries facing global labor shortages estimated at over 50 million people.
