AI-Powered Robotics in Industry 4.0: Transforming Automation and Manufacturing

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of robotics, enabling automation in Industry 4.0 with enhanced precision, adaptability, and efficiency. This paper explores AI-driven robotic systems in manufacturing, logistics, and autonomous decision-making. We analyze advancements in collaborative robots (cobots), AI-powered predictive maintenance, and machine learning algorithms for process optimization. Additionally, ethical concerns, workforce displacement, and cybersecurity challenges are discussed. The findings suggest that AI-powered robotics will drive productivity gains and reshape industrial automation in the coming decade.
