Theiss UAV Solutions, acquired by Lauren International, developed unmanned aerial vehicle systems for defense and government applications including reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition. The company's capabilities were integrated into Lauren International's defense portfolio.
RSF defines a common language for robot service capability, lifecycle operations, certification pathways, and service-provider networks.
Guident CEO Harald Braun on the RMCC architecture, IRLS risk identification system, and why California’s 2026 AV mandates validate six years of platform development.
Compare how Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Tesla Optimus, Figure AI and UBTECH finance their Capex. Supply chain risk, ROIC analysis and a 3-dimension investment framework included.
Hyundai Motor Group acquires SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics for $325 million, triggered by a 2021 put option. Analysis of ownership history, Atlas commercialization challenges, and what full control means for the humanoid robot industry.
Construction robotics is entering its decisive decade. Autonomous jobsites, swarm coordination, humanoid integration, and a potential $60 billion market reshape every strategic decision in the industry.
Inside the drone swarm revolution: Discover how Ukraine’s Swarmer tech, China’s AI formations, and the Pentagon's Orchestrator Prize are reshaping warfare.
Construction robotics attracted $4.4 billion in built environment tech funding through Q3 2025. SoftBank acquired ABB Robotics for $5.375 billion. RaaS is displacing capex models. AI-native platforms command 39x revenue multiples. This is where money meets machines.
Agricultural robotics is projecting a $28–48 billion market by 2030 outside China, driven purely by labor cost replacement. Part 10 synthesizes the series: forecasting penetration ceilings, emerging technologies, and regional winners in the most consequential farming transformation since mechanization.
SoftBank’s planned $100B Roze spinoff signals a major shift in robotics and AI infrastructure, combining ABB Robotics, AI chips, and data center automation into a “Physical AI” platform.
Meta’s acquisition of Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) signals a pivot from hardware race to intelligence capture. We break down why Meta moved now, what ARI does, and how Amazon, Tesla, NVIDIA and Apple are responding — with different bets and different risks.
Anduril’s YFQ-44A Fury flew its first semi-autonomous mission on 31 October 2025 — 556 days from contract to flight. By February 2026 it was carrying live missiles and swapping autonomy software mid-flight. China’s Jiutian drone mothership flew on 11 December 2025, capable of releasing over 100 loitering munitions from its internal bay at 15,000 metres. And the U.S. Air Force is standing up its second experimental one-way attack drone unit for mid-2026. This article maps the most consequential aerial autonomous systems competition in history: the CCA programme that will determine U.S. air dominance in the 2030s, the Valkyrie’s surprising rebirth, the A-GRA open-architecture breakthrough, and the Chinese drone mothership that has no Western equivalent.
