Why Investors Are Increasingly Backing Physical AI and Robotics
Artificial intelligence was long associated mainly with software, data analysis and digital services. Attention is now shifting increasingly toward Physical AI. Physical AI connects artificial intelligence with machines, robots, vehicles and other physical systems. These systems use sensors to…
AI Agents: How Autonomous Software Assistants Are Transforming Business Processes
AI agents are among the most important developments in AI and business automation. They go beyond conventional chatbots because they do more than answer questions. They can pursue goals, collect information, prepare decisions and perform defined actions. An AI agent may analyse a customer enquiry…
AI & Business Automation: How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Business Processes
AI and business automation refers to the use of artificial intelligence to support or automate operational workflows. This includes processes in sales, purchasing, customer service, finance, human resources, logistics and administration. AI systems analyse documents, respond to enquiries, classify…
Market, Funding & M&A: How Capital, Acquisitions and Corporate Strategies Shape Technology Markets
Technological progress is driven not only by research and innovation. Capital, corporate strategy, acquisitions and partnerships also play a decisive role. This is particularly true in sensing, robotics, Industrial AI, Edge AI and Physical AI. New products must be developed, tested, certified and…
AI in Sports Technology: How Sensors, Data and Artificial Intelligence Are Transforming Training and Performance
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important in sports technology. Wearables, cameras, smart training equipment and connected sports devices collect information about movement, workload and performance. AI systems analyse this data and derive patterns, recommendations or alerts. This…
Wearables: How Sensors and AI Make Body-Worn Devices Intelligent
Wearables are electronic devices worn directly on the body. They include smartwatches, fitness trackers, smart rings, intelligent glasses, sensor patches, connected clothing and specialised sports or health devices. Their main advantage is their proximity to the user. Wearables can continuously…
Smart Gadgets: How Sensors and AI Enhance Everyday Devices
Gadgets are compact technical devices designed to simplify specific tasks, provide additional information or bring new digital functions into everyday life. They include smartwatches, fitness trackers, wireless headphones, smart rings, cameras, household devices, electronic toys, wearables and…
Smart Manufacturing: How Connected Production, Sensors and AI Are Transforming Industry
Smart manufacturing describes a connected, data-driven and increasingly self-optimising production environment. Machines, sensors, software platforms and employees work together within a shared digital system. The objective is to make production processes more transparent, flexible and efficient…
Smart Homes: How Sensors, Connectivity and AI Make Buildings More Intelligent
A smart home connects sensors, devices, controllers and digital services within a shared system. Lighting, heating, shading, security, energy systems and household appliances can then be controlled automatically or through a central interface. In a simple application, a light responds to a motion…
Sensors for Humanoid Robots: How Human-Like Machines Perceive Their Environment
Humanoid robots are designed around aspects of the human body and its movement capabilities. They often include a head with cameras, a movable torso, two arms, hands and legs. This structure is intended to allow them to operate in environments originally designed for people. To stand, walk, grasp…
Robotics and Physical AI: How Intelligent Machines Perceive, Decide and Act
Robotics and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly interconnected. Conventional robots usually perform clearly defined movements in structured environments. Systems based on Physical AI are intended to perceive their surroundings, interpret situations and adapt their behaviour when…
Digital Twins: How Virtual Representations Improve Machines and Processes
A digital twin is a digital representation of a real object, machine, system or process. It combines technical models with current operating data, making it possible to monitor conditions, analyse changes and simulate future developments. Digital twins are used in industry, energy, mobility…
