Aitech is upgrading its rugged computing portfolio for defense platforms that increasingly need to process AI workloads at the tactical edge. The company has introduced the C530 and SOSA-aligned U-C5300, two 3U VPX GPGPU boards built around NVIDIA RTX Ada architecture. The accelerators target real-time AI inference, video analytics, image processing and sensor fusion while…
DFI is targeting the growing demand for on-device intelligence in industrial robots and automated logistics with a new Mini-ITX platform designed to combine AI acceleration, compact hardware and long-term deployment flexibility. The ARH171/ARH173 supports 16 Intel Core Ultra processor configurations across Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake generations, giving system integrators a common hardware platform for…
Alif Semiconductor is targeting one of the biggest barriers to embedded AI adoption: the cost and complexity of getting started. The semiconductor company has introduced two low-cost evaluation boards, the SK-B1 and SK-E1C StartKits, designed to help developers test on-device AI and machine learning workloads on its Balletto and Ensemble microcontrollers. The boards bring dedicated…
Manufacturers are moving AI closer to the production line as they look to automate quality inspection, catch defects earlier and make factories more responsive. USI has launched a next-generation AI Smart Camera that combines edge computing, high-resolution imaging and AI vision software in a single platform designed to move industrial computer vision from proof of…
Pudu Robotics is using IFA 2026 to showcase a different direction for commercial robotics: machines that can move through human environments, manipulate objects and interact with people rather than performing a single narrowly defined task. Its PUDU D7 Semi-humanoid Intelligent Robot has been named an Honoree in the Best in IFA Next & Emerging Technologies…
UST has completed its acquisition of a majority stake in Italdesign from the Audi Group, bringing a technology transformation company with deep expertise in artificial intelligence, digital engineering and software-defined vehicles into the same corporate structure as one of the automotive industry’s best-known design and engineering firms. The transaction comes as automakers increasingly move beyond…
The race to make drones more autonomous is increasingly moving toward the edge, where aircraft must process sensor data and make decisions with limited power, space and connectivity. SiMa.ai and ARK Electronics are responding with a new hardware-and-software combination aimed at reducing those constraints. The companies have announced ARK-SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC Bundles, production-oriented edge AI…
As enterprises move from experimenting with AI agents to deploying them across operational workflows, the technology stack is becoming more complicated. XMPro, an agentic operations platform for asset-intensive and mission-critical industries, says it has been named across nine Gartner research reports published between July 24 and August 7, 2026, spanning agent orchestration, agentic AI, multiagent…
Artificial intelligence is moving from screens and cloud services into machines, factories and other physical environments. Mitsubishi Electric plans to put that transition at the center of its CEATEC 2026 showcase, demonstrating how AI can combine with industrial data and decades of field expertise to help machines perceive changing conditions, make decisions and act more…
