AI Meets Field Robotics: Why Smart Inspections Go Beyond Automation

by

The Hidden Weakness of Automation

At first glance, many workshops give the impression that machines are running the show. A welding arm sends out brief showers of sparks, a drone hovers around a steel beam, and a small transport unit winds its way between stacks of pallets.

From a distance it looks like a closed system without weak points. A closer look tells another story.

Motors that run smoothly for most of the shift can hide tiny fractures that end in sudden stoppage. In one automotive plant, a single unnoticed crack in a gearbox housing forced an entire line to shut down for two days.

CynLr brings object intelligence and vision of universal factories to UN summit on AI

by

CynLr also opens new US center for business development

CynLr, a foundational technology building company in robotics and AI, is joining the United Nations AI for Good Global Summit 2025 to share its pioneering work in “object intelligence”, the technology stack that enables visual robots to intuitively learn to pick and handle even unknown objects without prior training, much like how human babies explore and manipulate objects.

CyRo is designed to handle unfamiliar objects and changing environments without needing to be pre-programmed for each new task.

CynLr’s work aims to lay the groundwork for “universal factories”, where decentralized micro factories can be programmatically repurposed to manufacture a wide range of products, supporting sustainable and personalized production.

Galbot raises $151 million to scale embodied AI humanoid robots, partners with Bosch investment arm

by

Chinese robotics startup Galaxy General Robot Co. – also known as Galbot – has raised $151 million in a funding round led by battery giant CATL and Puquan Capital, bringing its total investment to more than $330 million since its founding in 2023.

The company also announced a strategic joint venture with Boyuan Capital, the investment arm of Bosch Group, to accelerate the global commercialization of embodied AI robots.

Founded by Professor He Wang of Peking University – a Stanford-trained scientist – Galbot specializes in embodied artificial intelligence, which enables robots to perceive and interact with the physical world in a more human-like manner. The company’s technology has applications in retail, automotive, and industrial sectors.

Robots are getting smarter and more sophisticated. They also need to get safer

by

By Jenny Shern, general manager at NexCOBOT, part of Nexcom

Robot installations worldwide have more than doubled in the past decade – and deployments are no longer contained to the manufacturing line.

A growing wave of players are racing to develop advanced robots and humanoids with sophisticated capabilities in a variety of dynamic environments, from retail stores and hotel lobbies to eldercare facilities and bustling warehouses

For instance, Amazon’s newest collaborative robot, Vulcan, is equipped with tactile sensing that enables it to pick, sort, and stow objects with the finesse of a human hand. [Read more…] about Robots are getting smarter and more sophisticated. They also need to get safer

From spreadsheets to industrial machinery: Overwhelming numbers of workers say AI saves time on tasks

by

Approximately 90 percent of surveyed workers say AI helps them save time on work tasks – yet many businesses still underestimate how far intelligent automation has progressed in routine workflows.

The challenge: While over 80 percent of companies plan to implement AI-powered tools this year, many still invest hours in processes that modern AI systems now enhance faster, more accurately, and at greater scale.
