Listening to Our Fans

We get lots of fan interest in our online news platform and podcast. To recognize and honor all that attention, June’s podcast is dedicated to replying to some of the email and queries that our fans sent to Asian Robotics Review, This Is Robotics, Robo AI News, and LinkedIn.

First off, thank you one and all for your interest in what we do. You are important to us, and we honor the time you take out of your busy day to send us what’s on your mind.

Here are three of the most frequent:

AI’s Red Queen Moment replies to the many who are worried to their cores over artificial intelligence, especially GenAI, and how it seems to be taking over everything everywhere, including the jobs of many or the imminent replacement to many careers and livelihoods. Email arrived in response to our article: A Primer to Combat GenAI Anxiety: We’re All in This Together.

Helping us out in this podcast is Nate Jones, a well-known AI guru, expert, educator, and AI podcast host.

Next up: Prompt vs Context Engineering. Are we abandoning the recently anointed code killer in prompt engineering for newcomer context engineering?. No, we are not. Rather, we are witnessing an evolution in using LLMs. Robotics is getting more with Context Engineering. Once again, we lean on the able services of Nate Jones. Physical AI: Robots Turn Data into Physical Action.

Followed by: Factories: Dark or AI? Unravel the confusion around “dark” factories and AI factories, smart factories, and Factory 4.0. What’s what? And is an AI factory really a factory that makes things? Did AI Just Free Humanity from Code?

June’s podcast concludes with Meet Mark: New Age of AMR Sales! Go inside the changing landscape of AMR and AGV sales with the newly-appointed CEO of the Americas for ANSCER Robotics, Mark Messina: No-Nonsense Workhorses for the Americas

THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT OVERARCHING ROBOT-BASED THEMES FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2025

DON’T MISS THIS PODCAST!

The one podcast that will catch you up, inform you, and get you ready for the future of manufacturing, jobs and careers, robotics, artificial intelligence, and Gen Z, the generation that is the most aware, well-adapted, and emotionally ready to create an out-sized impact on the future.

Any new technology that happens along that ends up amplifying industrial robotics is a benefit to the entire industry, every other industry, and its people.

When it comes to robotics and its impact on our world and all of our futures, especially for the industrialized nations of the world, five critical issues seem to predominate and are currently settling in across America…and creating a lot of sparks as they do.

Five issues that might well define our success or failure in automating our world. Each is moving into prominence, and each forms a news topic for this Episode #38 of This Is Robotics.

Here's how we at This Is Robotics see overarching themes or topics affecting the future:

1. Manufacturing vs. Big Trouble

No country is ever successful in the long term without a really strong and vibrant manufacturing base. Why is America’s in decline?

Why did America give up on these: Telegraph, telephone, TV, transistor, digital computer, robot, home refrigerator, air conditioning, kitchen stove, microwave oven, and even the ubiquitous pop-up toaster, the list goes on and on, ingenious and life-changing products, all, once upon a time, imprinted with Made in America, but “no longer” and haven’t been for decades. Trillions of dollars in annual GDP America gave away for a song, never to return.

2. Layoffs vs. Jobs

The most unnerving two words for nearly everyone on the planet

3. The Three Amigos of Artificial Intelligence: GenAI vs. Physical AI vs. Agentic AI

4. Humanoids vs. Industrial Robots

Don’t get overly bedazzled with humanoids just yet. And don’t overlook industrial robots. Remember the frenzy and billions spent on self-driving cars (still no Level 5) beginning in 2011?

5. Gen Z vs. No One

Gen Z, all 72 million of them, born between 1997 and 2012 are inheriting the nation…and already looking and acting like beneficial stewards of the nation’s future.

Our age is at a fascinating juncture for these five overarching themes for 2025.

Please join us to see how each fit into our robotic future.
