Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial Robotics
Industrial robotics and advanced manufacturing are being reshaped by "physical AI" -- NVIDIA's Isaac Sim and similar simulation platforms are letting FANUC, ABB and Yaskawa train robots virtually before deployment, sharply cutting the downtime needed to reprogram production lines, while both FANUC (record FY2026 sales of JPY857 billion, 21.4% operating margin) and ABB (Q1 2026 orders of $11.3 billion, up 32% YoY, with a planned 2026 Robotics spinoff at a $3.5 billion valuation) report strong demand from persistent labor shortages and reshoring. In parallel, the global additive manufacturing (3D printing) market -- valued at roughly $31.5 billion in 2026 and growing at a 18-24% CAGR toward $114-140 billion by the early 2030s, led by Stratasys, EOS, HP, 3D Systems and General Electric -- is increasingly used for automotive prototyping and low-volume production, with industrial 3D printers holding nearly 70% of market share.

Jan 2026 · Physical AI reshapes factory robotics; ABB plans Robotics spinoff
NVIDIA's Isaac Sim simulation platform became central to how FANUC, ABB and Yaskawa train and deploy industrial robots, cutting production-line reprogramming downtime, as ABB announced plans to spin off its Robotics division in 2026 at a targeted $3.5 billion valuation and both FANUC and ABB posted strong order growth on reshoring and labor-shortage-driven automation demand.
