AI + Robots (Paperback)

Paperback. The headlines go to chatbots and image generators, but the deeper transformation is happening where physical world meets intelligence: in factories, warehouses, farms, and job sites.In AI + Robots: The Next Industrial Revolution, author Roy Kibeh offers a grounded, pragmatic guide to the physical convergence of artificial intelligence and robotics. Moving beyond speculative hype and viral demo videos, this book exposes how adaptive machines, computer vision, and autonomous systems are quietly re-engineering the global economy.When AI gains hands, wheels, and legs, the rules of business and labor permanently shift. Kibeh walks readers through the five sectors where physical automation is furthest along, providing an essential calibration tool to distinguish between what is commercially mature, what is in active pilot testing, and what remains a laboratory experiment.Inside this book, you will discover: The 4 Rungs of Automation: How industry is transitioning from rigid, pre-programmed automation to adaptive execution and true physical autonomy.Sector-by-Sector Breakdowns: Grounded analysis of smart factories, autonomous logistics networks, 3D-printed construction, precision farming, and service robotics.The Economic Mechanics: Why falling hardware costs, cheap sensors, and edge computing allow small-to-midsize businesses-not just tech giants-to automate.Actionable Frameworks: Practical tools including an Industry Readiness Checklist, Illustrative Deployment Patterns, and Team Discussion Questions.Navigating the Human Element: Clear insights into shifting job roles, emerging skills, household integration, and operational strategies for leaders.Whether you are a business executive evaluating automation capital investments, an industry professional adapting your skills, or a reader seeking an honest, hype-free lens on the technology shaping our world, AI + Robots delivers an indispensable blueprint for the era of physical AI.
