Amazon Is Buying Two Million More Nvidia Chips as AI Demand Blows Past Forecasts
The two companies are deepening a partnership that now covers warehouse robots and cloud software, not just the chips that power AI.
Driverless Diggers Are Already Moving Earth on Real US Construction Sites
Bedrock Robotics has put fully autonomous excavators to work in Texas and Nevada, with no operator in the cab. Here is what that means for construction workers and the projects they build.
Robot brains are getting smarter, but they still can't do a real day's work
Investment is pouring into physical AI, the technology that teaches machines to move through the world. But developers admit their robots are stuck in an early, limited phase, similar to where chatbots were before ChatGPT changed everything.
London's robotaxi dream pushed to 2025 as regulators and engineers hit the brakes
Uber and Wayve had licences in hand and a 'later this summer' promise on the table. Now, people waiting for a driverless cab in London will have to wait a lot longer.
NVIDIA's new Jetson Orin Nano 2 chip aims to put frontier AI inside drones and home robots
The tiny computer uses 40% less power than its predecessor while doubling AI processing speed, and NVIDIA says developers will be able to run frontier-grade intelligence directly inside physical machines.
The tractors are getting smarter, and farms may depend on it
An aging workforce and shrinking skilled labour pool are pushing AI off the screen and into the cab. Companies like Agtonomy are betting that the most important robots of this decade will look nothing like a human.
XPeng's robot unit Dogotix raises $900 million and aims to put 1,000 humanoids a month on factory floors by 2027
The Chinese electric vehicle maker's robotics arm is now valued at over $6 billion and plans to start shipping its IRON humanoid robot to retail stores and industrial sites next year.
Who keeps the robots running? The hidden workforce behind physical AI
Scaling robots past a handful of machines turns out to be an HR problem as much as an engineering one. Here's what that means for workers and the companies deploying them.
Farm robots that can park themselves: Agtonomy's tractors now reverse through tight orchard rows with no driver
A California startup has taught its autonomous tractors to perform multi-point turns in cramped vineyard spaces, and each vehicle collects more than two terabytes of field data per hour to keep the system improving.
This Robot Watched a Short Video and Figured Out the Rest Itself
Cambridge startup Generalist AI has built robot arms that learn new physical tasks from a single video clip, no task-specific training required. The results are imperfect but striking.
Pudu Robotics' New MP2000 Forklift Can Grab a Pallet in 20 Seconds, Without a Human Driver
The MP2000 autonomous pallet-mover reads its surroundings in real time, talks to doors and elevators, and keeps working even when the Wi-Fi drops.
A Robot Lab Grows Human Tissue to Give AI the Data It Needs to Find Real Drugs
Vivodyne's warehouse-scale machines test drug candidates on lab-grown human organs, not mice. The startup says this is the missing ingredient that could make AI drug discovery actually work.
FORT Robotics Is Going Public to Build a Safety Net for the Robot Age
The Philadelphia startup wants every autonomous machine, from warehouse bots to self-driving vans, to share one safety system. A merger deal values it at over $500 million.
