Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Ever walked into an office lately and noticed how different things look compared to just a few years ago? The changes are pretty dramatic when you stop to think about it.
We’re not just talking about hybrid work schedules or fancier coffee machines. The whole foundation of how we work is shifting, and technology research is playing a huge role in figuring out what comes next.

Predictive maintenance robotics is transforming how industrial organisations manage automation environments, moving beyond reactive maintenance and fixed schedules toward intelligent, data-driven maintenance strategies.
Instead of waiting for equipment failures or relying solely on manual inspections, organisations are deploying machine learning, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to optimise maintenance scheduling and reduce costly downtime.
In many industrial facilities, robotic diagnostics are now aligned with structured systems such as velappity’s hvac preventive maintenance software to ensure predictive maintenance processes integrate with enterprise asset management frameworks across different locations.

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
Car insurance prices can vary widely even when policies appear similar at first glance, which is why a quick comparison often misses the real cost. A lower premium is not always the better deal if the cover is narrower or the payout basis is less suitable.
The sections below explain how to compare prices properly, assess factors that affect premiums, and avoid paying more than necessary for the protection you selected. [Read more…] about How to Compare Car Insurance Prices and Avoid Overpaying
Latvian startup Deep Space Energy has closed its pre-seed round by raising €350,000, led by Outlast Fund and Linas Sargautis, an angel investor and a former co-founder of NanoAvionics.
The company also secured additional €580,000 in public contracts and grants by the European Space Agency (ESA), Nato Diana, and the Latvian government.
The funding will primarily be used to further develop a novel radioisotopic generator toward commercialisation, in a bid to strengthen the European sovereign space and defence industry and power Moon surface exploration.

The combination of collaborative robotics and in-process digital metrology represents a strategic convergence for the manufacturing industry and factories of the future.
On the one hand, collaborative robots make it possible to automate handling and assembly tasks flexibly and safely without the need for physical barriers and, on the other hand, digital metrology integrated into the process means that components can be measured and checked directly in the production line with high precision.
In this context, Spain’s Tekniker technology centre, member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) partnership, with extensive expertise in this set of technologies, will present a solution that brings together automation, high-precision measurement and digitalisation in industrial environments at the next edition of the Biennial International Machine Tool Exhibition (BIEMH).

Swiss sportswear and equipment company Dosenbach-Ochsner, part of the Deichmann Group, has installed the Exotec Skypod system at its Luterbach site (Canton of Solothurn, Switzerland) – a scalable robotic solution designed for intralogistics and warehouse automation.
Since the system has gone live, more than 100 Skypod robots have been operational, supplying picking and packing stations from approximately 174,000 storage locations.
The flexibility of the Skypod system was the deciding factor for Dosenbach-Ochsner, with Exotec’s technology able to handle activity peaks with ease, making it the ideal solution for the Luterbach warehouse.

Haas Alert, a specialist in connected vehicle safety and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) solutions, says that Kodiak AI, a provider of AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology, has integrated Haas Alert’s Safety Cloud digital alerting platform into its autonomous trucking solution.
Under this collaboration, Kodiak will utilize Safety Cloud to deliver real-time safety alerts to approaching vehicles and motorists, providing beyond-line-of-sight information to enhance roadway safety.
Safety Cloud sends digital alerts via the cellular network to motorists with informationabout the road ahead. These alerts are shown either on vehicle infotainment screens or through apps on digital devices. [Read more…] about Kodiak AI adds Haas Alert’s ‘Safety Cloud’ to its autonomous trucking solution
Brightpick, a provider of AI-powered robotic automation for warehouses, has agreed a strategic partnership with NAPA, a major US retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts, accessories, and service items, to deploy advanced automation technology across its distribution centers.
Through this partnership, Brightpick’s robotic solutions will aim to improve overall warehouse performance to support NAPA’s nationwide store network.
Brightpick and NAPA first collaborated in 2025 on a pilot project, which has been running successfully. NAPA then signed an agreement with Brightpick for an additional site in early 2026, with the potential for future installations at other locations. The first project under this agreement will include more than 100 Brightpick robots to support high-volume processing.
