  • Long Horizon launches its full lineup

    I’m pretty amazed by the Long Horizon speaker roster – everytime I check the website it’s still growing. This event is rapidly becoming “the rooms where it happens” for robotics. And it’s just as well that talks are spread over three stages with lots of hallway conversation opportunities. Naturally, I’ve been to a lot of…

  • The Long Horizon for physical AI is getting closer

    Amazing speakers, even better networking opportunities. Will I see you there? You can tell how hot robotics is getting by the number of events on the calendar, but you can tell who’s moving the needle by the quality of the event. I thought Actuate from Foxglove was a high water mark, but the new Long…

Weights & Biases (now Coreweave) are offering robotics leaders free tickets to next week’s Fully Connected 26 – using the code AKFC26.…

  • How close to that robot are you willing to get?

    Introducing an open-source project that might just save your life. Or a few fingers. Our survival skills generally keep us away from heavy vehicles, but these days we tend to flock around those dancing robots. Polymath Robotics CTO Ilia Baranov is bringing safety systems from critical industrial scenarios, and making them open-source and accessible for…

  • Agility Robotics unveils Digit Version 5

    Digit 5 is Agility’s first humanoid robot engineered for cooperatively safe work at scale, allowing it to work in close proximity to people without the physical safety barriers required by traditional automation. “Digit 5 is removing a major barrier to scaling humanoid robots in industrial environments,” said Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics. “We built…

  • OpenRobOps Fleet Manager from InOrbit

    OpenRobOps (ORO), released today by InOrbit.ai, gives robotics developers a production-grade, open-source foundation to escape the build trap, delivering the industry’s first ISO 21423 reference implementation and bridging the interoperability gap. “Working with leading enterprises in manufacturing, logistics and other industries, I have seen firsthand that federated orchestration is essential to scaling automation,” said Florian…
