A Manhattan startup built a self-driving lab where AI designs new materials around the clock, running as many experiments in a day as human scientists complete in a year. The breakthrough could speed up solutions for clean energy, longer-lasting jet engines, and fusion power.
What started as a one-man engineering shop on Sydney's Northern Beaches in 1966 just celebrated 60 years as a global automation leader. Dematic now powers the supply chains behind your groceries, medical supplies, and online orders across Australia and New Zealand.
Jensen Huang is calling out corporate leaders who use AI as a convenient excuse for job cuts that were planned long before the technology even arrived. His message offers hope to workers worried about automation replacing their careers.
Engineers just solved one of the biggest challenges in robotics: teaching humanoid robots to sense and respond to humans in real time, making them safe enough to work alongside us. The breakthrough uses technology already proven in self-driving cars.
A robotics company that raised $53 million to automate pizza making just shut down, proving that replacing human workers is harder than tech investors thought. The collapse leaves restaurant owners with expensive paperweights and workers with their jobs intact.
Artificial intelligence is now handling millions of debt collection calls each month, replacing one of the lowest-rated jobs in America. Companies say AI agents are more patient and consistent than human collectors who rank in the bottom 1% for job satisfaction.
The future of robotics isn't humanoid machines that do everything—it's specialized robots that do one job brilliantly. Smart lawn mowers, kitchen assistants, and warehouse bots are already proving that focus beats flexibility.
Manufacturing robots just got a major intelligence upgrade. Japanese robotics giant FANUC teamed up with Google to put advanced AI into factory robots that can learn, adapt, and handle complex tasks on their own.
The chip giant is launching its first Southeast Asian research hub in Singapore, focusing on AI that moves beyond screens into robots and autonomous systems. The city-state is betting on practical AI applications that help workers rather than replace them.
A London startup is bringing humanoid robots to European manufacturing floors through major partnerships with Bosch and Schaeffler. These wheeled helpers will handle boxes, move materials, and work alongside humans in factories across Germany starting this December.
College graduates across America are booing commencement speakers who mention artificial intelligence, turning 2025 graduation season into an unexpected rebellion. Their message is clear: they want a future focused on human potential, not automation.
A new survey reveals overwhelming support for AI and automation in Singapore's trains, even as younger riders voice concerns about human oversight. The technology is already working behind the scenes to keep 2.5 million daily journeys running smoothly.
Power line workers in Israel no longer need to risk their lives dangling from helicopters 200 feet in the air. A new drone system does the dangerous job for them, and it's working beautifully.
Engineers worried about AI taking their jobs can breathe easier. New technology is designed to eliminate tedious work, not talented people.
Singapore is transforming its factories with AI and robotics to create high-value jobs and stay ahead in global manufacturing. The shift is already helping companies double production while reducing costs and manual labor.
History shows automation creates jobs instead of eliminating them. From Henry Ford's assembly line to today's AI revolution, new technology keeps expanding the workforce.
Engineers are teaching humanoid robots to sense their surroundings like humans do, using advanced vision and hearing technology. This breakthrough could make robots safe enough to work alongside people in everyday settings.
Over 230 companies are showcasing live manufacturing technology in Brisbane this week, giving Australian businesses hands-on access to innovations that could transform their operations. The three-day event brings cutting-edge robotics, AI, and automation solutions directly to factory decision-makers.
A Seoul startup is recording expert hotel workers' movements to train robots, preserving human skills while creating smarter automation. David Park's napkin-folding technique is now part of a database teaching machines to work alongside people.
A new vision for technology is flipping the script on automation anxiety. Instead of people adapting to machines, countries like Japan and the European Union are building "smart societies" where AI, robots, and digital systems serve human wellbeing first.
