Read the latest positive news, breakthroughs, and inspiring stories about autonomous systems, curated daily by BrightWire.
As robots get smarter, entrepreneur Brandon Torres Declet sees opportunity in the unsexy infrastructure that helps businesses trust and pay for machine work. Companies are already betting millions on verification systems over building more bots.
Two world-leading universities are joining forces with telecom giant Ericsson to develop next-generation positioning technology that could make autonomous robots and drones safer and more reliable. The breakthrough could transform everything from emergency response to healthcare.
Three breakthrough AI systems can now generate research ideas, run experiments, and even review scientific papers on their own. While they still make mistakes, researchers say this marks the beginning of a powerful new partnership between human curiosity and machine speed.
A university lab and robotics company are teaching machines to spot dangers on construction sites that even humans might miss. The goal is creating "superhuman" AI that makes one of America's most dangerous industries safer for everyone.
A groundbreaking partnership between Brain Corp and UC San Diego is helping robots better understand their surroundings, making autonomous systems safer and more reliable in real-world commercial spaces. The collaboration could transform how 50,000 deployed robots worldwide navigate complex environments.
A defense tech company is successfully testing breakthrough navigation software that helps drones fly accurately even when GPS signals are blocked. The technology is proving itself in Ukraine's challenging electronic warfare conditions.
A three-month pilot program launched in Green Brook, New Jersey, bringing food orders to doorsteps by drone instead of car. Residents within 2.5 miles can now get meals faster without paying extra fees.
A San Francisco startup is bringing self-driving technology from cars to construction sites, teaching excavators and bulldozers to operate themselves. The innovation could transform an industry facing serious labor shortages while making dangerous job sites safer.
Carnegie Mellon University just opened a massive new robotics facility that could change how we develop autonomous systems for everything from disaster response to space exploration. After 40 years of pioneering real-world robotics, the school is scaling up with specialized environments to test land, air, and water-based robots.
A Nigerian defense technology company has raised $34 million to build autonomous security systems protecting critical infrastructure across Africa. Terra Industries is now valued at over $100 million, just one year after its founding.
A 22-year-old and 24-year-old just secured $34 million in two months to build Africa's first homegrown defense company. Their autonomous systems will help nations protect critical infrastructure from terrorism while creating local manufacturing jobs.
Scientists discovered how sea stars walk without a brain, and it could revolutionize how we build robots for extreme environments. Each of the creature's hundreds of tiny feet makes its own decisions based on what it feels.
