William Attardi on September 30, 2026

The United States surpassed Japan in 2025 to become the world’s second-largest market for industrial robots, trailing only China in annual installations. US factories installed nearly 38,500 industrial robots last year, representing a 12% increase and marking the third-highest number recorded in the history of industrial robotics statistics. The milestone comes as global operational stock of industrial robots surged 9% to a record 5 million units in 2025, driven by an 11% jump in annual installations worldwide. Factories across the globe installed more than 600,000 new units over the year, demonstrating the accelerating adoption of automation technology in manufacturing operations spanning automotive production, electronics assembly, plastics processing, and other industrial applications.

The Creator of Baby Ruth Actually Sued Babe Ruth –The Baby Ruth candy bar was created by the Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 — the same year that baseball legend Babe Ruth hit a then-record 54 home runs. But the Great Bambino was irked that the company was selling a candy bar with such a similar name to his own without offering him any royalties. Rather than take the Curtiss Candy Company to court, the Sultan of Swat decided to make his own candy bar, and in 1926 he debuted Ruth’s Home Run bar. The Curtiss Candy Company responded by turning the tables and taking Ruth to court. They accused the slugger of trying to steal their trademark and capitalize on the success of their brand. In a 1931 deposition, Curtiss founder Otto Schnering insisted the candy was named after “Baby Ruth” Cleveland — the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.  He also attested that the company came up with the name in 1919 before the baseball player had become a household name and that the name was merely coincidental. While the validity of those claims is disputed to this day, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the candy company, forcing Ruth to end his foray into the world of candy.
