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.
Teams talk about NLP – natural language processing – in test automation, yet many still ask what it truly means. They hear about tools that turn plain language into test scripts, but they want clear facts. This topic matters now because software teams face tight release cycles and constant change. NLP in test automation means […]
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 […]
A recent survey shows over 70 percent of truck techs now use AI-powered diagnostics every week, proving the shift is already here. Modern trucks rely on sensors, connected systems, and smart alerts that demand sharper digital skills. Techs who blend mechanical experience with data confidence quickly gain an edge in fast-changing shops. In this article, […]
Reframe Systems, the Massachusetts-based physical AI company innovating homebuilding with robotic microfactories, has partnered with Cabot, Cabot & Forbes (CC&F), a specialist in transit-oriented development for Greater Boston’s new economy workers, to deploy a Reframe unit as the on-site marketing and sales office for The Bolt, a 180,000 SF innovation and manufacturing center currently under […]
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 […]
FII Priority Miami concluded its three-day summit with a series of discussions on global investment trends, economic volatility, and emerging growth sectors, alongside appearances by former US President Donald J. Trump and football legend Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima. FII stands for Future Investment Initiative. It is a global nonprofit focused on “Impact on Humanity”, […]
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 […]
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.
Manufacturers in 2026 face a clear problem. Finding obsolete PLC parts is slow, expensive, and uncertain. What used to be a sourcing issue is now an operational risk. Even a minor PLC failure can stop production. Delays now impact output, timelines, and revenue. Why Obsolete PLC Parts Are Hard to Find PLC systems still run […]
By Gary Ng, CEO and co-founder of viAct There is a major shift occurring at some of the most hazardous workplaces on the planet: oil refineries, large construction projects, and underground mines, as new and improving technologies are being used for the initial line of defence. Technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and IoT wearables, […]
Robotics teams rarely struggle because a part cannot be printed at all. More often, they lose time because a part arrives with the wrong material, the wrong orientation, a missed drawing note, or small inconsistencies that only become obvious during assembly or testing. That is why speed alone is not enough. For robotics teams, a […]
There’s a quiet shift happening in eCommerce. For a long time, brands were obsessed with getting new customers – bigger ad budgets, wider reach, more traffic. But lately, the smarter ones are asking a different question: How do we keep the customers we already have? Because the truth is, growth doesn’t really come from constant […]
A number of individuals have spoken about robotics with respect to heavy equipment. However, they typically consider autonomous mining vehicles, warehouse management systems, and construction machines. The majority of these individuals overlook an extremely obvious shift that is taking place in truck mounted cranes. Crane trucks are becoming smart due to the advent of new […]
Robots make work faster, cleaner, and more consistent. They also change how risk shows up on the floor. The danger is not only the moving arm, but also the in-between moments, when a cell is paused, a jam is cleared, or a quick adjustment turns into hands inside the fence. Operators sit closest to these […]
Amazon has acquired New York-based startup Fauna Robotics, signaling a move beyond its traditional focus on warehouse automation into consumer-facing humanoid robots. The deal, first reported by Bloomberg and covered by Silicon Republic and Euronews, involves Fauna’s team of roughly 50 employees joining Amazon’s Personal Robotics Group. Financial terms were not disclosed. Fauna, founded in […]
Melania Trump presents humanoid robot at White House, highlights role of AI in education and careers
First Lady Melania Trump introduced an American-built humanoid robot at the White House this week, marking a rare moment where advanced robotics took center stage in a diplomatic setting. The demonstration featured Figure 3, a humanoid system developed by Figure AI, and was presented during a global summit attended by representatives from 45 countries. According […]
Corvus Robotics and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits have agreed a strategic technology partnership and expanded deployment of the Corvus One autonomous inventory management system across Southern Glazer’s distribution network.
