The Future of Robotics: Technologies, Architectures, and Design Considerations

Technical Report Overview

Robotics and automation are increasingly used to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability across industrial and building-related operations. As these systems become more intelligent and interconnected, engineers face new challenges around connectivity, real-time data processing, system resilience, and secure integration within broader operational environments.

This report examines the technologies shaping modern robotics systems—from AI and edge computing to low-latency communication and sensor integration—drawing on Molex insights across industrial automation applications. It connects advances in robotics to practical outcomes such as predictive maintenance, improved uptime, and more responsive facility operations, helping engineering teams design automation systems that support intelligent, connected environments.
