PHOTOS: Robotics Invest 2025 panelists discuss physical AI, humanoids, and investment strategies

How Robotics Is Disrupting Traditional Industries: Agriculture, Construction and Manufacturing - Koji Hasegawa, Kubota Corporation GM of Silicon Valley innovation center; Jit Kee Chin, Suffolk Construction & Suffolk Technologies CTO & managing partner; and Miles Arnone, Re:Build Manufacturing CEO; moderated by Mark Martin, Cybernetix Ventures co-founder & general partner.
The panel discussed challenges and opportunities for robotics adoption in these market segments, including conveyance from picking to staging areas in agriculture, bundling foundation layout marking tasks in construction, the increase of high-mix, low volume production runs in manufacturing, and, of course, why it’s unlikely we will see humanoids deployed in the near future in these industries.
