CS2 Skin Marketplace Comparison: Which Platform Offers the Best Prices and Security?

by

The CS2 skin market is large, fast-moving, and sometimes confusing. Players can sell on Steam, use third-party marketplaces, accept instant-sale offers, or trade directly with other users.

The problem is that every option has a different balance of price, speed, payout type, and security. That is why choosing the best CS2 skin market is not only about the highest number on the screen.

A good platform should help users compare prices, protect their inventory, avoid risky private deals, and understand what they actually receive after selling. [Read more…] about CS2 Skin Marketplace Comparison: Which Platform Offers the Best Prices and Security?

How Zero Trust Network Access Eliminates Implicit Trust at Scale

by

Implicit trust remains prevalent in many access systems, even after remote work, cloud adoption, and tighter audit pressure have changed daily operations. Once a person or device clears an early check, broad reach often follows with little scrutiny.

That habit creates risk, because one weak session can expose several paths at once. Zero trust network access removes that assumption by testing identity, device condition, and request context whenever access is needed.

RLWRLD launches open platform to benchmark dexterous robotic hands

by

RLWRLD, a physical AI company with a proprietary robotics foundation model, RLDX-1, has announced the launch of “All Hands Up!”, an open web platform that provides technical reports and visualization tools based on the company’s firsthand experience operating a wide range of commercially available dexterous robot hands.

All Hands Up! is designed to analyze and share the real-world operating performance and design trade-offs of robotic hands that are difficult to assess through manufacturer specification sheets alone.

RLWRLD developed the platform based on operational data collected from real-world use, aiming to address a question repeatedly raised across research and industrial settings: “Which robotic hands perform effectively in real-world environments?” [Read more…] about RLWRLD launches open platform to benchmark dexterous robotic hands

Robust.AI selects Aptiv’s AI-powered perception system for next-generation Carter warehouse robot

by

Aptiv, an industrial technology company, has announced that Robust.AI, a developer of AI-driven warehouse automation, has selected Aptiv’s intelligent perception solutions, including AI and Machine Learning based sensor fusion powered by the Aptiv Pulse sensor for its Gen 3 Carter collaborative mobile robot.

This selection builds on the companies’ existing collaboration to combine Aptiv’s proven solutions with Robust.AI’s robotics expertise and human-centered design to accelerate scalable, AI-powered robotic workflows, while also establishing the foundation for Performance Level d – or PL(d) – certification across relevant industrial safety use cases.

Jay Bellissimo, senior VP and president, intelligent systems, software and services, Aptiv, says: “Scale adoption of robotics requires safety critical perception that spans the dynamic conditions experienced in the real world.” [Read more…] about Robust.AI selects Aptiv’s AI-powered perception system for next-generation Carter warehouse robot

Lumos Robotics tops global benchmark test for zero-shot embodied AI

by

Lumos Robotics says its Prime R0 industrial embodied AI model has achieved the highest overall score on the latest MolmoSpaces leaderboard, outperforming larger models from competitors including Nvidia and research teams from the United States.

The Chinese robotics company said its 2.8-billion-parameter model ranked first across both single-arm fine manipulation and dual-arm collaboration tasks in the benchmark, which measures zero-shot embodied AI performance in previously unseen environments.

According to Lumos, Prime R0 surpassed models including Nvidia’s 16-billion-parameter Cosmos model as well as entries from researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Princeton University, despite using less than one-sixth as many parameters.

UK startup Humanoid launches reinforcement learning system to improve robot manipulation

by

UK-based robotics and AI company Humanoid has introduced KinetIQ Ascend, the company’s reinforcement learning approach designed to reach 99.9 percent manipulation reliability at human speed and beyond.

KinetIQ Ascend builds on the previously announced KinetIQ platform with trial-and-error learning, helping the company’s robots improve directly on industrial tasks.

The new system was tested on several tasks, including picking parts from bins, handing objects to humans, and lifting and moving containers using both arms. It has proven effective across a range of manipulation scenarios. [Read more…] about UK startup Humanoid launches reinforcement learning system to improve robot manipulation

The Hardware Powering the Hybrid Industrial Workforce

by

Industrial work used to mean staying put. Office staff sat at their desks all day, engineers spent most of their hours on-site, and factory teams worked from the same fixed stations day after day. That’s not really the case anymore.

These days, a lot of industrial professionals split their time between the office, the plant floor, customer sites, and even their own kitchen table. A maintenance engineer might go through inspection reports at home before heading out to a plant later that afternoon.

A project manager could bounce between video calls and walking the manufacturing floor, all in the same day. This kind of flexibility has made one thing pretty obvious: your hardware isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore. It’s essential. [Read more…] about The Hardware Powering the Hybrid Industrial Workforce

Antivirus vs malware: Why antivirus alone is no longer enough

by

There was a time when installing antivirus software was considered enough to keep your computer safe. As long as your antivirus program was updated regularly, you could browse the web with confidence.

Today’s online threats are very different.

Cybercriminals no longer rely solely on traditional computer viruses. Modern attacks often involve ransomware, spyware, phishing emails, fake websites and malicious downloads, while some target people rather than software by tricking users into revealing passwords or personal information.

SVT Robotics surpasses four billion transactions on its Softbot automation platform

by

SVT Robotics, a leader in interoperability software that provides the data foundation for enterprise and physical AI, has announced that its Softbot Platform has surpassed four billion transactions, underscoring the scale, resilience, and performance of the infrastructure it delivers worldwide.

With transaction volumes now totaling 100 million to 130 million per week and accelerating, SVT expects to exceed eight billion lifetime transactions by the end of 2026, as demand for resilient automation infrastructure and AI-ready operational data expands.

“What began as an integration challenge has evolved into a critical need for resilient infrastructure that provides real-time visibility across technologies, facilities, and workflows, while generating the high-fidelity data required for industrial AI,” said A.K. Schultz, CEO and co-founder of SVT Robotics. “Reaching four billion transactions emphasizes that growing need in large-scale operations.” [Read more…] about SVT Robotics surpasses four billion transactions on its Softbot automation platform
