Automaton News is a demo newsroom tracking the technologies reshaping how the world makes things — robotics, artificial intelligence, industrial IoT and the software tying it all together.
Each story here is an original, short summary of public reporting from across the industry. We link out to the original source on every article so you can read the full report and support the outlets doing the primary reporting.
The four topics we follow:
Robotics — cobots, humanoids and motion systems moving from demo to the production line.
AI — perception, inspection and the shift to agentic, decision-making systems on the shop floor.
IoT — connected machines, sensors, edge computing and private networks.
Software — platforms, digital twins and the data standards that connect the factory.
We also keep a running calendar of the fairs and expos where the industry gathers.
