Teradyne Robotics, a unit of automated test equipment supplier Teradyne Inc., reported $100 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, representing 33% growth compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The growth is being driven primarily by artificial intelligence demand, which accounts for more than 60% of the parent company's revenue, particularly from AI data center buildouts and semiconductor manufacturing. While robotics revenue is growing, it now represents a smaller percentage of Teradyne's overall business at 8% of total revenue, down from 12% the prior year. The company has experienced five consecutive quarters of growth and plans to open a manufacturing center in Michigan to meet rising demand in the U.S. market.
