AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually improving accuracy. By combining neural networks with human-like symbolic reasoning, their system helps robots think more logically instead of relying on brute-force trial and error.
Modern food systems may look stable on the surface, but they are increasingly dependent on digital systems that can quietly become a major point of failure. Today, food must be “recognized” by databases and automated platforms to be transported, sold, or even released, meaning that if systems go down, food can effectively become unusable—even when it’s physically available.
A conversation between LocaXion CEO Viren Mathuria and Redpoint CEO Chunjie Duan on safety-grade RTLS, what genuine precision demands, and the architecture built for what’s coming. RTLS (Real-Time Location System) refers to wireless technology used to automatically identify, track, and manage the precise location of assets, equipment, or people within a defined indoor or outdoor […]

In connection with this technological advancement, GMEX is in the process of […]
Toyota Material Handling Europe has introduced a new automated guided vehicle (AGV) system designed to handle a range of warehouse transport tasks and pallet types. Called Swarm Automation Transport, the system combines the company’s SAI125CB automated counterbalance stacker with its T-ONE control software platform, enabling coordination across automated and mixed fleets. The company says the […]
Vecna Robotics, a provider of flexible material handling automation, has announced CaseFlow Voice, which the company says is the only case picking automation solution with fully integrated voice technology. CaseFlow Voice embeds Lucas Systems’ “Jennifer” voice capabilities directly into case picking workflows, enabling hands-free operations that improve worker productivity and accuracy while helping warehouses achieve […]
EV adoption is accelerating across logistics, public transport, and energy retail. Charging networks, fleet management systems, energy platforms, and partner APIs all run in parallel but rarely communicate. Dispatchers manually coordinate sessions that should trigger automatically. Energy managers export spreadsheets that a platform should process in real time. At scale, these gaps become a ceiling […]
The humanoid robotics industry may be approaching its first real commercial inflection point – and the signal is not a new product launch or funding round, but a sharp and accelerating decline in prices. Recent disclosures from Unitree Robotics suggest the average price of its humanoid robots fell from approximately $85,000 in 2023 to about […]
Unitree Robotics, which is believed to be the world’s largest humanoid robot maker, has taken a significant step toward going public, filing for an initial public offering on Shanghai’s STAR Market that could raise up to 4.2 billion yuan ($610 million). The Hangzhou-based company’s IPO application was formally accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange on […]
DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build molecular-scale devices. By borrowing ideas from traditional robotics and combining them with DNA folding techniques, scientists are creating structures that can move and act with precision. These robots can be guided using chemical reactions or external signals like light and magnetic fields.
By the time you finish reading this sentence, another humanoid robot will have rolled off a production line somewhere in China. That is not hyperbole. On March 30, 2026, Shanghai-based Agibot announced it had produced its 10,000th humanoid robot – a milestone the company reached after scaling from 5,000 to 10,000 units in just three […]
By Michael Santora, CEO at Logic Robotics Cities across the globe are wrestling with a stubborn challenge: congestion. While traffic often comes to mind first, logistics experts point out that the real bottleneck in many urban environments lies at the curb. Trucks not only clog intersections as they navigate narrow streets, but also occupy scarce […]
The narrative in modern manufacturing often centers on the cutting edge: AI-driven robotics, hyper-connected IIoT ecosystems, and autonomous logistics. While this rapid innovation drives the industry forward, it creates a stark contrast with the reality on the factory floor. In many facilities, the backbone of production remains robust, reliable hardware that has been running effectively […]
As robotics adoption accelerates across manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure, energy consumption is emerging as a critical constraint. What was once a secondary engineering consideration is becoming a primary design challenge – shaping how robots are built, deployed, and evaluated. At the same time, sustainability pressures are rising. ESG – environmental, social, and governance – has […]
