Lucas and Luna examine the business of robotics — not as a collection of sci-fi promises but as an industrial sector with real P&L statements, supply chains, and return-on-capital questions. Each episode picks one thread: why ABB and Fanuc dominate factory automation while startups like Covariant and Dexterity chase warehouse picking; the unit economics of a collaborative robot arm versus a human worker at current wage rates; the patent landscape in actuator design and what it tells you about who owns the next decade of hardware. Lucas walks through balance sheets and teardown costs; Luna presses on adoption barriers, labor market friction, and the venture math that separates a viable robot company from a perpetual prototype. They do not ignore the hype — they weigh it against shipping volumes, customer churn, and actual deployment data. The listener is someone who wants to understand where the money actually flows in robotics: which verticals (automotive, logistics, food processing) are already automated, which are stuck on cost parity, and which hardware startups have a shot at becoming the next Fanuc. Lucas and Luna never just describe the robot; they ask what trade-off it requires, what existing business it displaces, and whether the numbers close. The tension they leave you with: is this the year a robot arm finally shows up in a small machine shop, or is industrial automation still a rich-company game?
Unknown Host hosts The Robotics Business with Fexingo: Automation, Industrial Robots, and Hardware Startups, a general show with 5 episodes published.
In this episode of The Robotics Business with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how robotics companies are shifting from selling robots outright to offering leasing and robotic-as-a-service (RaaS) models. They examine why
In this episode of The Robotics Business, Lucas and Luna explore how early-stage robotics startups are increasingly turning to government grants — specifically the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program — to f
Episode 31 of The Robotics Business examines how trade tariffs are reshaping the economics of building a robot. Lucas and Luna dig into the specific case of a US-based startup that sources precision motors from Japan and
Lucas and Luna explore how drones are moving beyond photography into industrial inspection, focusing on bridge and power line safety. With the U.S. infrastructure bill funding billions in repairs, drones are cutting insp
Lucas and Luna explore a quiet revolution in robotics: training industrial robots entirely in simulated environments before they ever touch a real factory floor. They walk through how simulation-first approaches are cutt
Episode 28 of The Robotics Business explores how autonomous mobile robots navigate factories and warehouses without GPS. Lucas and Luna break down the technology behind simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), compa
Lucas and Luna explore the growing challenge of indoor robot navigation—how machines find their way in GPS-denied environments like warehouses, factories, and hospitals. They break down the shift from magnetic tape and l
Lucas and Luna examine the small but growing group of robotics companies that have crossed into genuine profitability. Using Intuitive Surgical as a durable example, they break down how the da Vinci system's razor-razorb
In this episode of The Robotics Business podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the world of robotic grocery packing — specifically how one startup, Fizyr, is using AI-powered robot arms to pack an online order of 50 items in
Berries are one of the last crops to resist automation. A single raspberry has less than a second of optimal ripeness, and a human picker's touch is nearly impossible to replicate mechanically. But a startup called Harve
In this episode of The Robotics Business, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of microfactories — small, highly automated production facilities that use robotics to compete with traditional large-scale manufacturing. They di
Over 50 million tons of electronic waste are generated globally each year, but less than 20% gets recycled properly. This episode explores how robotics companies like AMP Robotics and Apple's Daisy robot are tackling the
Episode 21 of The Robotics Business. Lucas and Luna explore the frontier of tactile sensing for robot grippers—why it matters, who's doing it, and how a startup called GelSight turned a lab curiosity into a commercial se
Episode 20 of The Robotics Business explores the surge in piece-picking robots for e-commerce fulfillment. Lucas and Luna break down why Amazon, Walmart, and other giants are betting on robotic arms that can handle indiv
Episode 19 of The Robotics Business podcast explores how robot arms are mastering the delicate, high-precision task of smartphone assembly. Lucas and Luna examine a specific case: a Chinese electronics manufacturer that
Episode 18 of The Robotics Business. Lucas and Luna explore how robotic arms are being deployed in indoor vertical farms—not just for planting and harvesting, but for pruning, pollinating, and quality inspection. They fo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how the failed promise of the consumer robot vacuum is finding new life in commercial cleaning. They break down why the sector is projected to hit $14 billion by 2030, how companie
Episode 16 of The Robotics Business shifts focus from hardware to pricing. Lucas and Luna explore why an increasing number of robotics startups are abandoning upfront capital sales for recurring revenue models. They exam
Surgical robots have been around for decades, but they've mostly lived in big academic medical centers. This episode looks at why smaller hospitals are starting to adopt them now, and what that means for patients, surgeo
Episode 14 of The Robotics Business examines how surgical robotics is moving from elite academic centers to community hospitals. Lucas walks through the specific business case: the da Vinci system costs roughly $2 millio
