Introduction The rapid integration of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) into industrial applications has transformed the landscape of manufacturing, logistics, and beyond. Initially driven by labor shortages and an increased need for efficiency, automation now addresses complex, real-world problems previously deemed beyond the reach of traditional systems. Among the major influences of this transformation are advances in motion control and power management, which have enabled robots to perform complex tasks with precision and efficiency. Simultaneously, breakthroughs in sensor-based perception and environmental awareness allow robots to understand and respond to their surroundings. The integration of AI and ML also adds an adaptive layer, enabling robots to learn from data, adjust to new tasks, and predict maintenance needs. However, these advancements are not without significant challenges. As robots take on more complex roles, high-speed, reliable communication becomes critical, especially in managing large data flows between sensors, AI processors, and robotic actuators. Ensuring safe, real-time operation in dynamic environments also requires innovative solutions in sensor fusion, power management, and predictive algorithms to maintain both functionality and safety. Addressing these demands requires cutting-edge solutions in interconnect, power systems, and sensor integration, as well as strategies to manage the complexities of autonomous operation. In this eBook, we will explore the latest trends and challenges in robotics, AI, and ML for industrial applications and discuss how Analog Devices and Samtec are helping customers meet the growing demands of the modern factory.
