China is the country most prepared for self-driving cars, according to a new report. The new study by the B2B car company eCarsTrade analyzed robotaxi deployment, road infrastructure, legal frameworks, and public sentiment across 15 countries to see which nations are actually putting driverless vehicles on the road. Driven by massive robotaxi deployment, nearuniversal 5G […]

3D printing is gradually becoming part of everyday creativity. From personalized designs and creative projects to prototypes and physical models, it gives more people the ability to turn digital ideas into real objects. At the same time, AI is changing how these ideas are created, making 3D modeling faster and more accessible. However, generating a […]

Have you ever seen two people buy the same car, but end up paying very different prices because they live in different places? Carmakers have one ex-showroom price across the country. But when you add the taxes set by each state, the final number changes a lot. The main reason for this is state road […]

While generative AI has dominated much of the technology debate in recent years, the next major phase of development may increasingly involve AI systems that can perceive, interact with and act in the physical world. The IEEE’s new Technology Megatrends 2030 report identifies physical AI and robotics as one of the areas with the greatest […]

While much of the current discussion around physical AI focuses on technologies still moving from prototype to commercial deployment, AES has already put robots to work on utility-scale solar construction sites. The global energy company developed Maximo, an AI-powered robotic system designed to automate one of the most physically demanding stages of solar construction: lifting […]

Hanyang University ERICA researchers have developed a vertically integrated dual-gate transistor design, which could give robots ‘reliable touch sensing and high density, large-area integration’.  Conventional tribotronic devices, that convert mechanical stimuli like touch into electrical signals, offer fixed sensitivity and pose challenges in large-area integration. In a new study, researchers have developed a new vertically […]

PlusAI says it has reached 93.4 percent “Safety Case Readiness” as the autonomous trucking company moves toward the planned commercial launch of factory-built driverless trucks in 2027. The company has published updated performance figures for the first half of 2026, showing improvements in safety validation, autonomous driving and the number of journeys completed without assistance […]

“Remember that the guests remember moments, not agendas,” a producer told me years ago, squinting at a half-built stage. That’s the thing about corporate events: people don’t walk out quoting slide 17. They walk out remembering the music cue that gave them chills, the CEO who felt unexpectedly human, the way the room itself seemed […]

B2B sales teams have always searched for better ways to find potential customers. In the past, salespeople relied on large contact lists and manual research to discover new opportunities. Today, the market changes faster than ever. Companies need more than static databases. They need real-time insights, accurate prospects, and smarter ways to connect with the […]

eMMC (Embedded MultiMediaCard) is a compact flash storage solution that packs NAND flash and a controller onto a single chip. It provides reliable, power‑efficient storage for laptops, tablets, Chromebooks, embedded systems, and other portable devices. Nothing flashy, but it gets the job done in tight spaces where power draw matters. Compact and Space-Saving eMMC puts […]

Chinese robotics company Unitree has priced its initial public offering at a valuation of approximately $9 billion, becoming the country’s first mainland-listed humanoid robot manufacturer and highlighting growing investor interest in AI-powered robotics despite rising geopolitical tensions. The Hangzhou-based company said it has priced its Shanghai STAR Market IPO at 150.8 yuan ($22.34) per share, […]
