Artificial Intelligence (AI) robots are characterized as robotic systems or machines equipped with artificial intelligence capabilities. They exhibit the ability to execute repetitive tasks with precision and heightened speed, acquire knowledge of processes, autonomously perform functions without human intervention, and mitigate human error, consequently enhancing accuracy and efficiency.
The primary categories of artificial intelligence (AI) robots include service robots, industrial robots, and other specialized variants. Service robots are specifically designed to undertake beneficial tasks for humans or equipment without requiring direct human involvement. These robots incorporate a combination of software, hardware, and service components deployed through both cloud and on-premise modalities. Military and defense, retail and e-commerce, healthcare, food and beverage, and various other end-user industries leverage machine learning, computer vision, context awareness, and natural language processing technologies in the deployment of these service robots.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This AI robots market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The artificial intelligence (ai) robots market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $14.45 billion in 2024 to $17.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in machine learning, rise in industrial automation, collaborative robots (cobots), government initiatives and support, increased computing power.
The artificial intelligence (ai) robots market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in ai algorithms, integration of ai in healthcare, expanding applications in service sector, focus on human-robot interaction (hri), environmental monitoring and disaster response. Major trends in the forecast period include human-robot collaboration, edge ai and processing, emotional intelligence integration, customization and modularity, ai in healthcare robotics.
The forecast of 17.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff policies could limit the accessibility of AI-powered robots in industries like healthcare and logistics by raising costs for robotic arms and embedded AI controllers sourced from Germany and Japan. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing demand for industrial robots is anticipated to drive the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) robot market. Industrial robots, which are controllable and programmable devices, are widely used in manufacturing and industrial settings to support or replace human labor. By incorporating AI, these robots can perform complex tasks like visual inspection, quality control, and adaptive manufacturing processes with enhanced autonomy and adaptability. For example, in April 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based robotics industry association, reported a 12% increase in industrial robot installations, totaling 44,303 units in 2023. Thus, the rising demand for industrial robots is fueling growth in the AI robot market.
Prominent companies engaged in the artificial intelligence robot market are strategically concentrating on innovative technologies, such as the third-generation AI autonomy platform, to maintain their market standing. An AI autonomy platform refers to a system empowering machines to operate independently, guided by constraints, without direct human intervention, to achieve predefined objectives. For instance, in November 2022, Brain Corp., a US-based autonomous technology company, introduced BrainOS, the third-generation autonomy platform tailored for commercial robotic operating systems. Engineered to propel the next generation of autonomous commercial robots, BrainOS exhibits heightened localization and navigation performance, improved safety and reliability, and enhanced human-robot interaction capabilities. With advanced self-driving features, BrainOS facilitates the safe and efficient navigation of robots in public and commercial spaces, and effective control of warehouse environments.
In March 2022, Bosch Rexroth, a Germany-based engineering firm, completed the acquisition of Kassow Robots for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition positions Bosch Rexroth to offer comprehensive solutions, particularly in the consumer goods and mobility sectors, including battery production. Kassow Robots, a Denmark-based manufacturer specializing in lightweight collaborative robots (cobots) integrated with AI, aligns seamlessly with this strategic move.
