RSF defines a common language for robot service capability, lifecycle operations, certification pathways, and service-provider networks.
Vention reveals AI-powered platform partnerships with FANUC America and Teradyne Robotics at Automate 2026, enabling software-defined automation across collaborative and industrial robot deployments.
A comprehensive guide to industrial robot programming language evolution: G-code and NC origins, FANUC KAREL/TP, ABB RAPID, KUKA KRL, Yaskawa INFORM, the ROS open-source revolution, ROS2 architecture, ROS-Industrial consortium, OPC-UA, TSN, and real-time Linux — how six decades of software history define today's factory floor.
Ukraine’s ‘Sub Sea Baby’ autonomous torpedo struck a Russian Kilo-class submarine inside Novorossiysk harbour in December 2025 — the first confirmed underwater drone attack on a submarine in history. The U.S. Navy is requesting $5.3 billion for unmanned maritime systems in FY2026, a 70 percent year-on-year increase. Saronic Technologies went from prototype to $392 million production contract in under 12 months. And DARPA’s Manta Ray XL-UUV completed full-scale sea trials. This article maps the maritime autonomous systems revolution — from Ukraine’s improvised Black Sea fleet to the Pentagon’s hybrid manned–unmanned force of the 2030s, and from Saronic’s Franklin, Louisiana shipyard to Boeing’s 85-tonne robot submarine.
Ukraine fielded 15,000 unmanned ground vehicles in 2025 — surpassing its own procurement targets by over 100 percent. A single UGV held a front-line position for 45 days. Up to 90 percent of supplies to Pokrovsk now move by robot, not truck. The U.S. Army cancelled its $3 million Robotic Combat Vehicle and is starting over. China is deploying $3,000 robot dogs in PLA urban-warfare exercises. This article maps the emerging UGV battlefield — from Ukraine’s garage-built logistics fleet to the Pentagon’s stalled combat-vehicle ambitions, and from Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 to the quadruped proliferation problem no treaty has yet addressed.
