Robots join the workforce
Machines will take on more physical work.
By Maya Brooks
What’s inside
- NVDA NVIDIA: AI accelerators and computing platforms; its robotics partnerships anchor the whole belief
- TSLA Tesla: Robotics optionality via Optimus lines being installed; still primarily an auto business
- TER Teradyne: Automation and semiconductor testing; robot brains and robot builds both need test capacity
- ROK Rockwell Automation: Factory automation and control systems that any new robot fleet must plug into
- HON Honeywell: Industrial automation and sensing underpinning human-robot interaction on the line
- AMZN Amazon: Warehouses, robotics deployment, and cloud; the largest real-world robot fleet operator
- SYM Symbotic: Warehouse automation systems already doing the physical work at scale
- APH Amphenol: Connectors and sensors scale with every robot and autonomous machine built, whoever wins
- ETN Eaton: Electrical power management for robot-dense plants and their charging infrastructure
- ISRG Intuitive Surgical: Robotic-assisted surgery; machines already doing delicate physical work every day
- DE Deere: Autonomous agricultural machines replacing field labor no one wants to do
Why it could work
Machines will take on more physical work. The basket combines direct participants and broader suppliers.
What could break it
Industrial robot adoption does not establish demand or profitability for humanoid robots.
