Artificial Intelligence

The Convergence of AI, IoT, and Robotics in Modern Manufacturing

by

Manufacturing had long relied on fixed schedules and manual control. Inventories were adjusted following shortages. Machines were repaired only after they broke down.

Production goals were frequently set on assumptions and not from real operational data. That model is changing quickly.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity along with robotics are propelling manufacturing into a more predictive configuration. [Read more…] about The Convergence of AI, IoT, and Robotics in Modern Manufacturing

The Rise of the Autonomous Network Control Tower: How AI is Becoming the Supply Chain’s Central Nervous System

by

For a long time, visibility in the logistics industry has been focused on screens loaded with data, providing an almost real-time view into shipments in transit, anomalies or disruptions occurring along the way, the location of trucks and drivers in various parts of the country and the volume of shipments moving through the network.

But as the dynamics of the market continue to shift, simply seeing isn’t enough. Now, there’s a need for autonomous network control towers where AI not only provides visibility into what is happening but also proactively manages the supply chain.

This is precisely what Libera has built: a platform where AI becomes the operational brain of your entire logistics network. [Read more…] about The Rise of the Autonomous Network Control Tower: How AI is Becoming the Supply Chain’s Central Nervous System

How Valesnova Limited Uses AI to Stop Fraud in Cross-Border Payments

by

Every time money crosses a border, something interesting happens behind the scenes. Within milliseconds, dozens of checks run quietly in the background – verifying identities, flagging unusual patterns, and deciding whether a transaction should proceed or stop.

Most people never see any of it. But for payment companies, that invisible layer is the difference between a trusted system and a broken one.

This is exactly where AI-powered fraud detection earns its place and where Valesnova Limited has built its approach around something more precise than filters and rule lists. [Read more…] about How Valesnova Limited Uses AI to Stop Fraud in Cross-Border Payments

Infor launches new AI orchestration tools as research highlights scaling challenges

by

Infor has introduced new capabilities across its AI portfolio, alongside research suggesting many businesses are still struggling to scale artificial intelligence beyond pilot stages.

The company’s April release includes updates to its Infor Velocity Suite and the limited availability of an enhanced Infor Agentic Orchestrator.

The announcement is supported by findings from the Infor Enterprise AI Adoption Impact Index, which surveyed 1,000 business decision-makers across the US, UK, Germany, and France. [Read more…] about Infor launches new AI orchestration tools as research highlights scaling challenges

7 Best AI Story Generator With Image Creation Tools for Visual Storytelling

by

AI doesn’t stop at the page anymore – it paints the scene, too. In 2026 you can draft a chapter and watch matching art appear in the same window.

Suites like DreamGen let you spin dialogue and drop illustrations without switching tabs, and analysts say that’s why storytellers are leaving “chat-only” bots for multimodal workspaces. One dashboard now keeps tone, pacing, and imagery in lockstep, trimming revision loops.

We tested 31 contenders, chose the top seven, and defined clear judging criteria – story quality, image fidelity, character consistency, workflow ease, content policy, and pricing – so you can pinpoint the right platform fast.

Hallucinated humans: The identity problem hiding in your AI stack

by

Robots are getting better at seeing people. They can track a worker in a warehouse aisle, recognise a visitor at a reception desk, match a face to a delivery ticket, or pull up a profile of a customer before a sales rep walks into the meeting.

A growing number of automation systems also reach beyond the camera feed. They query language models to enrich what they see with context: who this person is, what they do, where they have appeared online, and whether their public footprint matches the record on file.

This shift is part of a wider pattern that Robotics & Automation News has described as robotics becoming a branch of artificial intelligence rather than a separate engineering discipline. [Read more…] about Hallucinated humans: The identity problem hiding in your AI stack

Foxglove launches unified data platform to accelerate physical AI development

by

Foxglove has launched “Data Search and Curation”, a new set of capabilities that helps robotics teams replace fragmented, manual data workflows with a unified platform to find and curate the mission-critical events, anomalies, and system behavior that matter most across growing volumes of operational data.

The company also expanded the Foxglove Data Platform with Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS), a new self-hosted data lake deployment model allowing customers to maintain full control over data at rest while still providing the benefits of a fully managed database, and a new free Basic Seat tier to expand access to visualization across teams.

As robotics companies scale from prototype to production, the critical path is shifting from generating more data to finding the most essential data quickly enough to debug issues, investigate failures, review safety-critical events, and improve system performance.

Neura Robotics and Amazon Web Services enter strategic collaboration to accelerate physical AI at scale

by

Neura Robotics and Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a strategic agreement to accelerate physical AI at scale – bringing cognitive robots that can perceive, reason, and act alongside humans from development into global deployment.

The collaboration combines Neura’s cognitive robotics platform with AWS’s cloud and AI infrastructure to help train, validate, and deploy the next generation of intelligent robots.

The collaboration tackles one of the most critical challenges of physical AI: while large language models benefit from trillions of data points drawn from the internet, robots have a fraction of that – making real-world training data the key to unlocking the next era of AI.

How AI is powering the next generation of robots – insights from a leading global conference

by

The 2026 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), which annually unveils the latest research in support of artificial intelligence (AI), embodied AI and robotics, multi-modal AI, wearable AI, spatial computing, AI agents, and much more, will serve as one of the foremost forums to showcase how advances in AI are accelerating next-gen robotics from concept to real-world deployment.

Co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society (CS) and the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF), CVPR, an annual launchpad for breakthroughs in AI, and this year for robotics, will convene the leading research, companies, and applications redefining what robots can see, understand, and do.

Through its program, CVPR 2026, which takes place 3-7 June at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, USA, will reveal how AI is fueling rapid innovation in robotics, automation, and embodied intelligence.
