Key to the autonomous project is Saab’s AI Fighter Jet Pilot Academy, designed to develop the agents and, in parallel, establish infrastructure necessary to “create, train and evaluate” them, says the firm.
AI is evolving at a rapid pace, and the uptake of Generative AI (GenAI) is revolutionising the way humans interact and leverage this technology. GenAI is
Frontier AI systems are beginning to test the limits of human oversight, while the companies developing them retain considerable power to define the risks
Accenture highlights that banks like JPMorgan Chase and Charles Schwab are restricting AI agents from their systems. Michael Abbott, Accenture's global banking lead, suggests that this strategy may negatively impact customer relationships.
There have been a series of papers published recently that showed that large language models have their own biases when making investment recommendations.

General-purpose mobile manipulation requires a combination of capable robot hardware, scalable demonstration collection, expressive whole-body control, and effective policy learning. Yet these components are often developed independently, creating mismatches that limit the capabilities of the complete system. We present Pixel, a co-designed full-stack system for learning general-purpose mobile manipulation. Pixel combines a low-cost wheeled humanoid with human-aligned kinematics and compliant grippers, multiple teleoperation and robot-free human data-collection interfaces, a unified whole-body controller, and a common policy learning pipeline across human and robot demonstrations. A hierarchical learning stack further enables language-conditioned visuomotor control and long-horizon task execution. We evaluate the system across hardware, data collection, and policy learning, and demonstrate mobile-manipulation behaviors requiring dexterity, active perception, navigation, and whole-body coordination. We hope that Pixel provides an integrated and extensible foundation for studying how robot hardware, data, control, and learning can be designed together for robot learning. More…
Idol turns one picture of an object into a 3D Gaussian splat. Give it a render, a generated image or a photo: it removes the background, frames the object and generates up to 1,048,576 Gaussians, written as a standard 3DGS .ply. It runs on consumer GPUs, using 7.2 GB of VRAM…
Editor’s note: This article is republished from Jumpstart, a TechNode Group publication. The brands competing to clean the world’s floors have something less visible in common. According to Amicro, eight of the world’s ten leading smart cleaning robot companies have used its…
Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGMs), especially Bayesian Networks (BNs), expose directed structure and probabilistic parameters, making them natural symbolic targets for neurosymbolic AI. Yet training text-to-parameterized-BN systems requires paired text-to-BN resources…
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance but suffer from slow and costly inference. Existing acceleration methods often lead to noticeable performance degradation, while Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models require extensive computational resources. In this paper, we…
Software is a first-class scientific object, yet validated links between source code and the scholarly record remain largely absent from the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud, isolating archived artefacts from semantic discovery. This paper presents an end-to-end reconciliation…
The success of Large Audio Language Models has driven the development of massive multimodal networks exceeding billions of parameters. However, the demand for privacy-preserving, low-latency processing has shifted focus toward Small Audio Language Models (SALMs) capable of…
