Robotics, Humanoids & Physical AI transforming global supply chains.
China intelligence. Global perspective.
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond software and into the physical world. Robots are becoming more capable, warehouses more autonomous, factories more intelligent, and humanoids are beginning to move from demonstrations toward real-world applications.
The Robot Shift follows this transformation.
We explore the technologies, companies and deployments changing how goods are sourced, manufactured, stored, transported and delivered.
While we pay particular attention to China’s fast-moving robotics ecosystem, our coverage is global.
What you’ll find here
The Robot Shift Digest: Twice a month, a curated selection of important robotics developments, new technologies, industry news and videos worth watching.
Deep Dives: Regular analysis of robotics companies, technologies, applications and operational challenges.
Robots in Action: Videos and practical commentary on machines operating in warehouses, factories and logistics environments.
Audio Briefings: Occasional discussions and AI-assisted audio explorations of important industry developments.
China Field Notes: Observations, discoveries and interviews from China’s robotics and logistics innovation ecosystem.
Our focus is on what matters beyond the headlines: actual capabilities, commercial deployments, technological maturity and implications for supply chain leaders.
