Warehouse automation software coordinates thousands of transactions, robot actions, and inventory updates. During peak periods, hidden constraints can slow order processing, cause sync delays, or disrupt fulfillment. These issues stem from technical design, not operations, so early detection is essential.

IIT’s largest-ever spinoff Generative Bionics raises €70 million with support from Tether Investments
Tether Investments has invested in Generative Bionics, the largest spinoff in the history of IIT (the Italian Institute of Technology) and one of the largest research spinoffs in Europe, to support the development of a new generation of intelligent humanoid robots built for industrial scale performance, human-centric interaction and advanced artificial intelligence.
This investment is made alongside other leading investors as a part of a €70 million funding round and reflects Tether’s strategy to expand its footprint and investments into technologies that strengthen global digital and physical infrastructure and augment human potential.
Generative Bionics leverages two decades of robotics research conducted at the Italian Institute of Technology, where more than 60 advanced humanoid robot prototypes have been designed, tested and refined successfully and provided as testing platforms to robotics research centers worldwide.

How robotics is becoming a branch of AI
For most of the modern industrial era, the hierarchy of automation was simple.
- Automation meant machines reliably performing fixed routines.
- Robotics was a sophisticated subset of automation – programmable machinery with sensors, motors and a defined task.
- Artificial intelligence was something entirely separate: a software discipline concerned with logic, reasoning and learning.
But the boundaries that made sense for the last 50 years no longer describe the technologies emerging now. Robots are beginning to perceive, classify, and adapt. AI systems are leaving screens and entering machines. And a new phrase – physical AI – is gaining ground as researchers try to explain what happens when intelligence takes a physical form.

Which AI Humanizer Tool Performs Best in 2026
Artificial intelligence now powers an enormous share of digital content creation across engineering firms, robotics companies, manufacturing environments, and automated service operations.
As these systems produce more text, organizations increasingly rely on AI content classifiers to determine whether a document was written by a machine or a person.
In response, a range of rewriting platforms – commonly called AI humanizers – have emerged to help produce more natural, human-sounding language. [Read more…] about Which AI Humanizer Tool Performs Best in 2026
National Science Foundation funding brings ‘smarter and stronger’ advanced manufacturing
The next revolution in manufacturing might come from a robotic arm that ‘prints like nature builds’
With funding from a three-year, $3.5 million National Science Foundation (NSF) Future Manufacturing Research Grant, a team at Virginia Tech is pioneering this new approach by using robotic arms to produce 3D-printed composite materials from multiple directions instead of laying them down in straight lines and flat layers.
The final printed product features engineered materials that bend and curve like the grains of wood in a tree to anticipate stresses, making them almost 10 times stronger than traditional 3D-printed material.
The three-year NSF grant funding the work is one of only seven awarded under the Future Manufacturing Research program, which supports research, education, and the training of a future workforce to create manufacturing capabilities that do not exist today.

XELA Robotics adds high-precision tactile sensing to Tesollo robot hand
XELA Robotics, a specialist in advanced 3D tactile sensor technology, says it has “successfully integrated” its uSkin sensors into a Tesollo DG-5F five-fingered anthropomorphic robot hand – a popular model capable of human-level gripping and manipulation.
Commercial orders will be accepted beginning in the late first quarter of 2026.
In addition, XELA Robotics’ 2026 technology roadmap includes making its sensors smaller, faster and smarter. An example of this will be the reduction in size of its sensing points from about 4 mm x 4 mm to 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm allowing the addition of more sensing points than previously possible. The reduced size sensor points will be available for order in the second quarter of 2026. [Read more…] about XELA Robotics adds high-precision tactile sensing to Tesollo robot hand
Unlimited Industries raises $12 million to build AI construction company to ‘power America’s future’
Across the United States, a new industrial age is taking shape. Trillions of dollars in infrastructure, from energy projects and advanced manufacturing to data centers and critical mineral facilities, must be built in the next decade. But large construction projects are slower and more expensive today than they were half a century ago.
Unlimited Industries, a California-based company using AI to rethink how infrastructure gets built, has raised $12 million in seed funding to change that.
The round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and CIV, with participation from leading industry investors. The capital will accelerate Unlimited’s expansion and further develop its proprietary AI platform – one designed to make large-scale engineering and construction faster, cheaper, and more ambitious.

NTT, Docomo Business and robotics firm Mujin form alliance to accelerate physical AI
NTT, NTT Docomo Business and robotics firm Mujin have entered into a capital and business alliance aimed at accelerating the development of physical AI and autonomous robot technologies across manufacturing and logistics.
The agreement, signed on December 1, brings together NTT’s telecommunications, cloud and AI infrastructure with Mujin’s robot-control and digital-twin technologies, including its proprietary operating system “MujinOS”, a platform that the companies say “realizes robot intelligence and digital twins of entire factories and warehouses”.
The companies say the partnership is driven by rapid growth in the robotics automation market, fuelled by “global labor shortages, rising labor costs due to inflation, and advances in AI technology”.
