The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of hardware engineering as artificial intelligence accelerates demand for more powerful chips, interconnected systems and faster product development.
Teradyne, a provider of automated test equipment and advanced robotics systems, and Bright Machines, a next-generation manufacturer bringing AI and data center infrastructure production to the edge, have announced a strategic investment by Teradyne in Bright Machines.
An automated production cell is a connected manufacturing system in which machines, robots, controls, sensors, and material-handling equipment work together with limited manual intervention.
Modern factories, operating continuously throughout the day and night, face constant pressure to produce greater quantities, waste far less material, and consistently maintain tight tolerances at every stage. Autonomous systems observe, decide, and act without human intervention.
At the recent Humanoid Robots Summit 2026 in Stuttgart, Vector Informatik, PEM Motion, and FMC³ Robotics signed a memorandum of understanding at Vector’s headquarters to jointly develop a standardized data infrastructure for industrial embodied AI.
Inbolt, which gives industrial robots the ability to see, think, and adapt in real time, has announced $12.5 million in funding. The round was led by new investor Shift4Good, a venture capital firm focused on decarbonizing transportation and energy, and joined by Bridges Climate Transition…
Automation has quietly made storage failure an operations problem, not just an IT one. A decade ago, a RAID array going down meant a delayed report. Today it can mean a robot cell with no vision-model history, an MES with no production record, or a SCADA historian with a gap where line diagnostics…
Manufacturers across North America are accelerating adoption of automation technologies to address persistent labor shortages and increasing production complexity.
