Artificial Specialized Intelligence (ASI) is the most valuable approach to AI for manufacturing today and the next decade. Driven by the need for flexibility in complex environments, task-specific AI offers solutions that are ready now for industrial use, unlike AGI. ASI will reshape intelligent robotics and industrial automation - but importantly, realizing its potential depends on robust platforms integrating specialized AI models with robots and data.

This advancement will be crucial for the next decade of manufacturing, offering efficient, task-specific AI solutions in perception, motion planning, and sensor-guided skills to significantly enhance robotic capabilities on the factory floor.
