Automate last week delivered big. The event offered a powerful snapshot of where robotics and automation are headed next. Here are some insights we’re still thinking about: Physical AI and Gen AI are redefining the automation stack, from simulation to deployment Digital twins are now mission-critical tools for designing, validating, and optimizing robotics workflows Collaborative safety is becoming a top priority, with systems that better understand human proximity, fault conditions, and how to behave predictably AR and IoT-guided assembly along with vision-based inspections are transforming how quality is built into processes Edge computing is enabling real-time, localized autonomy that supports seamless and efficient systems This all reflects a broader shift we’ve been tracking. Robotics is moving toward being smarter, quieter, and more intuitive. It's not just about what automation can do, but how effortlessly it fits into the way we work. We’ve explored this deeper in our most recent webinar focusing on invisibility in robotics.

Hydrogen is heating up. Autonomy is accelerating. Battery swapping is gaining traction. At ACT Expo 2025, it was clear: the future of clean transportation is multi-tech, purpose-built, and rapidly evolving. 🔍 Key Trends We Spotted Hydrogen is taking the lead in long-haul and heavy-duty, with big moves from Hyundai and others. Swappable batteries are gaining traction for fleet flexibility. Aura’s autonomous truck demo—already syncing with Volvo—felt like a turning point. 🎤 Panel Insights Volvo CTO Lars Stenqvist shared a bold vision: net-zero emissions by 2040, supported by a dual-technology strategy—BEVs and hydrogen. Notably, Volvo isn’t walking away from the combustion engine. Instead, they’re exploring low-carbon fuels like HVO and biogas, and even hydrogen combustion, as viable bridges. 💡 These layered approaches—multi-path decarbonization, adaptable platforms, and scalable innovation—mirror the kinds of challenges Motivo helps tackle every day. For us, this validates a belief we’ve long held: mobility transformation isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s systems-level evolution. #ACTExpo2025 #MobilityInnovation #HydrogenEconomy #BatteryTech #AutonomousVehicles #MotivoEngineering #Electrification #FutureOfTransport #SustainableMobility
