Cutting-Edge Robotic Manipulation: The Future of 3D Bin-Picking and Industrial Automation?

Key takeaways

01

The robotics industry is expected to hit $34 billion in the US this year.

02

Robotic manipulation such as 3D bin-picking plays a crucial role in industrial automation.

03

Developing these advanced robotic technologies can take years or even decades.

The robotics industry is growing – and fast. Predicted to hit $34 billion in the US this year, the robotics market is changing the way companies interact, factories assemble, and people work. The work behind these robots is no easy feat, it takes years, sometimes even decades to build the machines we rely on. So, why is robotic manipulation important and how can it provide a cutting-edge solution within the industry?

In the latest episode of CalTV, a Calvary Robotics podcast, host Mike Marseglia invites guest Jared Glover, CEO of CapSen Robotics to discuss CapSen’s history and its cutting-edge solution to bin-picking within the industry.

Marseglia and Glover go over:

1) How CapSen was founded and the market research that went into growing their 3D vision and robotic manipulation capabilities

2) What 3D bin-picking is, and why it is so important within the industry

3) The challenges to the industry and what makes this technology cutting-edge

“What’s really challenging in a lot of cases is, you know, how do you get the robot to do everything that a person would be doing…how do you get the robot to do more complicated things with the objects after they get picked out of the bin?,” said Glover. This is where cutting-edge robotic manipulation comes into play.

Glover is the CEO and Co-founder of CapSen Robotics, an advanced 3D vision and motion planning software for industrial robot automation in Pittsburgh, PA. Glover is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his B.S. in Computer Science, before heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete his PhD in Computer Science.

AI kaizens, agentic systems, and pricing pressure: what manufacturers are actually doing with IIoT in 2026

AI kaizens, agentic systems, and pricing pressure: what manufacturers are actually doing with IIoT in 2026

The industrial sector is transitioning its use of AI from pilot programs to operational applications, particularly on the plant floor. Companies are exploring AI-driven kaizens, agentic systems, and are debating outcome-based pricing models as part of their industrial IoT strategies. This shift indicates a move towards integrating AI technology more deeply into manufacturing processes by 2026.

  • 01Industrial AI is shifting from pilot projects to operational use in manufacturing facilities.
  • 02Outcome-based pricing models are being debated within the industrial AI sector.
  • 03AI-driven kaizens and agentic systems are being utilized in industrial IoT strategies.

Industrial manufacturing M&A hits $173 billion as convergence deals crowd out single-theme bets

The industrial manufacturing M&A sector has reached $173 billion, with a 28% increase year-over-year. Mega-deals and strategic buyers are the primary drivers of this surge, as reported by PwC in their 2026 midyear outlook. The focus on convergence deals is overshadowing single-theme investments in the industry.

  • 01Industrial manufacturing M&A has surged to $173 billion.
  • 02There is a 28% year-over-year increase in industrial M&A activity.
  • 03Convergence deals are becoming more prevalent, overshadowing single-theme investments.

Most mid-sized manufacturers are stuck in AI pilot purgatory, Kaufman Rossin research finds

A significant majority of mid-sized manufacturing companies are still in the testing phase of AI deployment, with 73% unable to achieve full operational status. Kaufman Rossin's research indicates that these companies are facing challenges in moving beyond pilot programs. The lack of full AI integration is a common issue across the sector.

  • 0173% of manufacturing companies are still in the AI testing phase.
  • 02No mid-sized manufacturer has fully deployed AI operationally.
  • 03Many manufacturers are unable to progress beyond pilot AI programs.
