The Foundation Is Built:
Seeking a Visionary Steward for Asian Robotics Review’s Next Chapter!
Seeking Growth Scalers for Asian Robotics Review and This Is Robotics
All things must pass
The day has finally come, dear friends, loyal readers, advertisers, and colleagues, that I’m putting the Asian Robotics Review news platform up for sale. Simple as that! But wow, is it ever so emotionally difficult to put into focus: me, selling what I’ve loved founding and nurturing for over a decade. That calls for a cognac!
Here in 2026, I’ve been visited by an ominous trifecta of motivation to sell. In
January, COVID finally got me; dark, scary nights feeling my alveoli sacs calcifying. Massive thank you to my immune system rushing in with a superb goalie save. In May, I turned 80 years old, although I feel much younger. How can that possibly be when I’m as old as dirt. Nine days later, my beloved older brother and bestie dropped dead on his kitchen floor. I was crushed, still am in many ways, and for sure, things will never be the same. Uh-oh, the oracle has spoken to me: Tom, it’s time for young blood to take over and to take up scaling the enterprise. Yes, Tom, you have the energy, capacity, and resolve to continue, but, as we all come to realize, all things must pass.
Actually, the timing couldn’t be better, as robotics and artificial intelligence have become the most electrifyingly important technologies on the planet. The award-winning Asian Robotics Review website and the award-winning podcast This Is Robotics are primed and ready to serve. Who’s going to take it on? —Tom Green, Founder & Owner
Ready to Grow Again & Scale!
A Decade of Award-Winning,
Independent Journalism & Global Reach (2016-2026)
Primed for new stewardship
When I founded Asian Robotics Review in 2016, it was a first of its kind, and I was gently chided about “why Asia?”, when no other website or publication on Asian robotics existed? For five years previous to Asian Robotics Review, I had been the founding editor in chief of Robotics Business Review and RoboBusiness; I had watched the Asian robotics tsunami rising and wondered why news of it was so scant in the West.
I set out with a simple mission: launch the first-ever online content website specializing in Asian robotics, AI, and automation, to build a B2B news and intelligence platform grounded in editorial integrity, analytical depth, and real value for the robotics communities both East and West.
In an industry often dominated by sensationalized headlines and pay-to-play content, we took a different path. We focused on telling the true stories behind emerging technologies, unpacking complex supply chains, and serving as the definitive bridge between East Asian robotics powerhouses and Western markets.
Today, when populations don’t believe what they read, hear, or watch from the media, they love what they see in Asian Robotics Review and hear on This Is Robotics. Asian Robotics Review was twice blessed with two right-on forecasts for the future of robotics, I need a new steward for the news platform to take on the third: Scaling!
