Intelligent Robotics for Smarter Manufacturing

Manufacturers are under immense pressure to optimize operations while responding to a range of disruptive forces – loss of tacit knowledge, rapid advances in smart manufacturing technology, high demand for high mix-low volume production, labor shortages, and increasing sustainability mandates.

In this webinar, Everest Group experts explored how intelligent software systems are driving the rise of polyfunctional robots – autonomous, multifunctional machines capable of adapting to and optimizing a wide array of manufacturing tasks in dynamic environments, marking major advancements in intelligent robotics.

We unpacked the layers of embedded intelligence – task planning, adaptive control, sensor fusion, and AI-driven decision-making – that enable these next-generation robots to perform complex workflows with minimal human intervention. Attendees gained a deeper understanding of how intelligent robotics is unlocking new levels of productivity, agility, and human-robot collaboration on the factory floor.
