Built Robotics created robots for solar industry automation

Built Robotics company’s mission sounds ambitious: “create robots that build the world”. And by automating repetitive tasks in the solar industry, valued at $300 billion, this company is accelerating our transition to solar energy. Built Robotics entered the industrial solar installation market with its product – the robotic pile driver RPD35. This is a robotic excavator capable of automating several stages in the process of installing piles for solar panels. The robot can autonomously conduct geological surveys of pile locations, distribute piles, drive them in and create as-built documentation.

To create this marvel of engineering, the company modified a Caterpillar 335 excavator, adding key components: the “Exosystem” system, special skids for carrying piles and a unique hammer of their own development. RPD35 can transport up to 224 piles with maximum lifting capacity of 15 tons. The second model – RPS25 – installs piles with stunning accuracy: vertical deviation doesn’t exceed 1 degree, and deviation from design height is only 15 millimeters. And robots work in coordinated groups up to 24 hours a day, which allows significantly accelerating construction.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million

Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
