ANYbotics expands global presence with new engineering and AI hub in Barcelona

by

ANYbotics, a provider of AI-driven robotic inspection solutions, has opened a new office in Barcelona, Spain. 

Located at the DFactory Barcelona campus, the new engineering and AI hub will be the company’s third global location, alongside Zurich and San Francisco, and will support accelerating demand for ANYbotics’ autonomous inspection solutions across asset-intensive, process sectors.

Today’s expansion follows a period of significant growth for ANYbotics, as companies in sectors including oil and gas, chemicals, utilities, and materials move from pilot projects to full-scale deployments of its autonomous inspection robots.

Texas Instruments interview: The hidden engineering challenges behind humanoid robots

by

In the fast-moving world of humanoid robotics, much of the attention remains focused on high-profile prototypes and demonstration videos.

Yet behind the scenes, a quieter but equally critical layer of innovation is taking place – one rooted in semiconductors, sensing, control systems, and the underlying architectures that make physical machines viable at scale.

Texas Instruments is one of the companies operating at this foundational level. Established in 1930 and long associated with American industrial and technological development, TI has evolved from its early days in oil exploration electronics into a global supplier of analog and embedded processing chips.

Why Knowledge Retention is Becoming a Bottleneck in Robotics Engineering

by

Robotics engineering is moving at a speed that feels almost impossible to track. If you’re working in this field, you know the feeling of waking up to a new paper or a software update that fundamentally changes how you approach a problem.

We’re currently living through a period of rapid innovation where the sheer volume of information is outpacing our ability to actually keep it in our heads. It’s creating a silent crisis.

We often talk about hardware limitations or computing power, but we rarely talk about the human bottleneck: knowledge retention. [Read more…] about Why Knowledge Retention is Becoming a Bottleneck in Robotics Engineering

Software Development AI Robotics: Engineering Intelligent Machines for the Real World

by

Software development AI robotics is transforming how intelligent machines operate across the physical world. From warehouse automation and industrial robots to humanoid robots designed for human interaction, modern robotics blends artificial intelligence, embedded systems and advanced software engineering to create intelligent systems that can perceive, decide and act.

As robotics projects grow more complex, structured software development becomes critical. Many organisations building AI and robotics platforms look to approaches followed by custom software companies like pulsion when aligning intelligent machines with recognised ISO standards and secure development frameworks.

Applying good practice in software engineering ensures robotics systems remain safe, scalable and reliable under real world conditions. [Read more…] about Software Development AI Robotics: Engineering Intelligent Machines for the Real World

Why Precision Components are the Unsung Heroes of the Autonomous Revolution

by

Autonomous technology is rapidly transforming the world around us. Self-driving cars navigate bustling streets, drones deliver packages with remarkable accuracy, and robotic systems perform tasks humans once thought impossible.

While AI and software often take center stage, there’s another critical element quietly making these innovations possible: precision components.

These components may seem small or ordinary, but they are the backbone of every autonomous system. Engineers rely on CNC machining services to produce these parts with exacting tolerances. [Read more…] about Why Precision Components are the Unsung Heroes of the Autonomous Revolution

Apple ‘tabletop robot’ rumored for 2027: Is this a turning point – or yet more hype?

by

A spate of new rumors and leaks suggest that iPhone and Mac behemoth Apple is preparing for a new chapter in its history, shifting from decades of producing stationary devices paired with proprietary software to developing machines that move, sense, and possibly run on more open platforms.

According to Bloomberg, the first step in this shift could be a “tabletop robot” expected to launch in 2027 – a device resembling an iPad-like display on a movable arm, designed to track users, interact more naturally, and showcase Apple’s next-generation AI assistant.

It’s designed to act like “a person in a room”, complete with a more conversational Siri variant and visual personality (for example, animated Finder logo) to enhance interaction. [Read more…] about Apple ‘tabletop robot’ rumored for 2027: Is this a turning point – or yet more hype?

Several ways how robotic and other engineering solutions will support manufacturing

by

The international robotics market is continuously growing. Wondering what pluses robotic and other engineering solutions have the potential to bring to manufacturing? Check it now.

As stated in the World Robotics Report 2020 designed by the International Federation of Robotics, in 2020, nearly 3 million robotic solutions were working on plants around the globe.

The figure is about 11.5 percent bigger compared to 2019 (about 400,000 innovative robotic equipment was purchased and installed). [Read more…] about Several ways how robotic and other engineering solutions will support manufacturing
