閉じるFrom Automation to Autonomy: Powering Smart Industrial Systems
The next wave of industrial transformation is moving beyond fixed-function automation toward physically intelligent systems that can sense, reason, and act in dynamic real-world environments in real time. Humanoid robots provide a powerful lens into this shift, compressing automation’s most complex challenges into a single demanding platform.
ADI’s Fiona Treacy explores how the adoption of AI and advances in humanoid development are reshaping the landscape and connects these innovations back to the industrial automation ecosystem, where they enable more adaptive, collaborative robots and flexible production systems.

Adoption of AI
AI isn’t just reshaping what we make; it’s transforming how and where we make it. As demand shifts toward localized, personalized products, manufacturers must rethink factory architecture, integrate robotics, and design for flexibility to drive adaptability and sustainability. Explore that transition through the lens of humanoids and how solving them could unlock the next era of physical intelligence.
The Increased Pace of Innovation
Automation has long been defined by rigid hierarchies, but AI is pushing it toward a more adaptive model. As intelligence spreads across the factory floor, systems become more agile. Discover how the shift to distributed, time-aligned sensing and actuation is redefining how machines operate, unlocking new capabilities, and laying the foundation for physical intelligence.
Humanoid Breakthroughs
Humanoids may seem impressive, but today they’re still limited to simple, narrowly defined tasks, often powered by hard-coded logic rather than true intelligence. The real breakthrough lies beneath the surface: dense networks of sensors, actuators, and compute that work together in continuous, real-time control loops, paired with highly sensitive and dexterous hands. This is the foundation of physical intelligence, in which distributed systems operating at the edge are redefining what machines can do.
Accelerating Investment
Today’s real opportunity extends far beyond the robot itself. Every deployment drives significant investment in upgrading factory systems, digitizing operations, and adding intelligence across the factory floor. Discover how physical intelligence is reshaping the broader ecosystem and unlocking a new wave of semiconductor demand.
The Full-Length Presentation
Automation is evolving toward autonomy, defined by adaptability, resilience, and real-time intelligence at every level. The full-length presentation goes beyond the highlights to show how distributed, embedded intelligence is reshaping machines, systems, and the factory floor. Watch the full session to see how this shift is being enabled and why semiconductors are at the center of what comes next.
