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 […]
AI’s growing energy use sounds alarming, but its global climate impact may be far smaller than expected. Researchers found that while AI consumes huge amounts of electricity, it barely moves the needle on overall emissions. The real impact is more localized, especially around data centers. Meanwhile, AI could become a powerful tool for building greener technologies.
