AI-generated summary Serve Robotics launched an AV Delivery Developer Portal providing an API and sandbox for independent developers, businesses, and AI assistants. Serve says the new portal allows outside applications to request deliveries directly from its sidewalk fleet instead of using third-party partners.
AI-generated summary German defense tech company Helsing unveiled an agent-based software platform named Clarity that processes military data to generate target recommendations for weapons systems. Helsing states that the platform ensures European control and human oversight, requiring a human operator to authorize every handoff while documenting each decision with a human name.
AI-generated summary Beijing released a 2026 to 2028 industrial plan aiming for an annual production capacity of 200,000 embodied AI robots. The municipal policy sets application targets across industrial, service, and specialized deployments while establishing regional manufacturing goals.
AI-generated summary Physical AI applies learned perception, reasoning, and control to machines acting in the real world where physics and safety constraints must be managed. Multimodal systems must align signals of varying resolution and timing while separating the underlying model from the product controlling its deployment.
AI-generated summary NTT, Inc. announced a physics-based world model designed to evaluate robot actions prior to execution by predicting outcomes such as drops and collisions. NTT says the technology increased task success in a small-robot shelf-loading test from 73.1% to 92.3% and plans field trials with Mujin, Inc.
AI-generated summary Stingray Marine Solutions reports that over 3,500 submarine artificial intelligence units are deployed around salmon pens along the Norwegian coast. The firm states that these units protect more than 112 million fish by using lasers to target sea lice as an alternative to chemical baths.
AI-generated summary TIER IV and the Technical University of Munich announced that their Autoware research center will support development of an autonomous-driving system for a full-size city bus in Munich. The project forms part of a consortium effort intended to lay the groundwork for autonomous buses and shuttles to enter regular public-transport operation.
AI-generated summary TIER IV detailed five open-source AI models for autonomous driving spanning camera-only systems and configurations adding LiDAR, radar, and high-definition maps. The lineup includes NVIDIA Alpamayo 2 Edge, AutoE2E, METEOR, OnePlanner, and LatentDrive for Autoware 2.0.
