OSFP Modules: The Complete Guide to 400G, 800G, and 1.6T Optical Transceivers for AI and Hyperscale Data Centers

by

OSFP modules are redefining the limits of interconnectivity for AI clusters and hyperscale data centers. With data rates doubling – from 400G to 800G and now 1.6T – power efficiency and density continue to improve.

Supporting the massive optical bandwidth demands of parallel GPU training, these modules serve as the critical optical connectivity engines for next-generation computing infrastructure, propelling intelligent computing to new heights.

Skild AI reaches $100 million in annual recurring revenue after 10 months

by

Skild AI says it has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue just 10 months after beginning commercial deployments of its robotics AI technology.

The company now has more than 60 paying customers using its technology for applications including material movement, deliveries, site inspection, security, food preparation, warehouses, factories and data centers.

Deepak Pathak, co-founder and CEO of Skild AI, and Abhinav Gupta, co-founder and president, say the company has also recognized $50 million in revenue since deployments began 10 months ago. [Read more…] about Skild AI reaches $100 million in annual recurring revenue after 10 months

Subsense develops AI-powered nanoparticle brain-computer interface without implanted electrodes

by

Subsense, an AI-native neurotechnology company developing non-surgical, nanoparticle-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), has announced “a major expansion” of its AI-driven NanoBCI strategy, bringing together AI, nanotechnology and neural interfaces to advance a new category of BCI technology.

Unlike traditional approaches that either rely on implanted hardware or capture neural activity from outside the skull, Subsense is developing a nanoparticle-based interface intended to eventually enable neural activity to be read or stimulated without permanently implanted electrodes.

Subsense is developing what it describes as the first AI-native NanoBCI, designed to eventually enable neural activity to be read or stimulated without permanently implanted electrodes.

Lumos Robotics launches NexCore platform to ‘make robots more plug-and-play’

by

New embodied AI platform cuts robotic skill development from weeks to days, helping enterprises create, deploy and continuously improve robot skills without building a full in-house AI engineering stack

Lumos Robotics, an embodied AI developer, has launched Lumos NexCore, a skill evolution engine designed to make industrial robots easier to deploy and use by enterprise customers.

The platform cuts the time required to develop a new robotic skill from weeks to days, addressing a major bottleneck in industrial robotics: the gap between having a robot on the factory floor and getting it to reliably perform useful tasks.

CorTec receives second FDA ‘Breakthrough Device’ designation for its brain computer interface

by

CorTec has received a second US Food and Drug Administration Breakthrough Device Designation for its Brain Interchange brain-computer interface, this time covering communication for people with non-progressive quadriplegia.

The designation covers the use of the implantable BCI to enable people with paralysis in all four limbs to control a computer cursor through neural signals, providing an independent means of interacting with computers and other digital systems.

The Freiburg, Germany-based neurotechnology company received its first Breakthrough Device Designation for Brain Interchange in April 2026 for stroke motor rehabilitation. [Read more…] about CorTec receives second FDA ‘Breakthrough Device’ designation for its brain computer interface

Nvidia unveils Jetson Orin Nano 2 for robotics and edge AI

by

Nvidia has released the Jetson Orin Nano 2, a new robotics computer for entry-level edge AI. The company says the new computer will enable millions of developers worldwide to build robots, delivery and inspection drones, and vision AI systems for frontier physical AI applications. 

Jetson Orin Nano 2 delivers 2x the inference performance of its predecessor in the same form factor and consumes 40 percent less power at the same performance.

More than 3 million developers have built on the Nvidia robotics stack, with Cognex, Doosan Bobcat and Matic among the first to adopt and explore Jetson Orin Nano 2. [Read more…] about Nvidia unveils Jetson Orin Nano 2 for robotics and edge AI

6 Things to Do When a Smart Home Device Becomes Unresponsive

by

A smart home system is designed to make your everyday tasks simpler and easier. With your smartphone, you can turn on the lights, adjust the thermostat, check security cameras, unlock doors, and control appliances with your voice. But when a smart home device suddenly becomes unresponsive, identifying the cause can be a tiresome process.

An unresponsive smart device does not necessarily mean that the device itself has failed. The problem could be caused by Wi-Fi connection issues, router issues, internet service, mobile app, power supply, or a temporary communication issue between devices.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where a smart home device becomes unresponsive, here are the top things that you should do to potentially identify and address the problem. [Read more…] about 6 Things to Do When a Smart Home Device Becomes Unresponsive

Best GPS and Geofencing Attendance Systems for UAE and Saudi Arabia (2026)

by

A supervisor on a project site outside Riyadh once told me his muster sheet had 340 names on it every morning, and by his own estimate, a dozen belonged to men who were not actually there.

He was not describing fraud in the dramatic sense. He was describing a Tuesday: someone hands their phone to a friend, the friend punches in from the site gate, and the GPS coordinates come back looking perfectly legitimate.

That is the gap this article is built around. GPS records where a phone was. Geofencing restricts that record to a defined boundary. Neither confirms who was actually holding the phone, and for contract and multi-site workforces across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, that distinction is the entire ballgame.

Kinetic Blocks launches marketplace for humanoid robot training data

by

Kinetic Blocks, an Oslo-based startup, has launched a beta version of what it describes as a two-sided marketplace for buying and selling training data for humanoid robots.

The marketplace opened on September 1 following several months of development with an initial group of data suppliers and early users.

Access is currently restricted, with Kinetic Blocks individually reviewing applications from potential buyers and sellers. The company says it is approving suppliers that own or control data they are entitled to license and buyers that are actively training humanoid models.

Skild AI unveils S1 robot foundation model that learns tasks from video demonstrations

by

Skild AI has unveiled S1, a robotics foundation model designed to enable robots to learn new manipulation tasks from a single video demonstration without task-specific fine-tuning or post-training.

The company says S1 uses in-context learning, an approach analogous to prompting in large language models, allowing an operator to demonstrate a task on video and have the robot interpret the demonstration and reproduce the intended behavior.

Skild says: “Show it a video of a task, short or long, seen or unseen, and it executes.” [Read more…] about Skild AI unveils S1 robot foundation model that learns tasks from video demonstrations
