Interesting direction. Instead of improving forklifts, this approach removes them from the equation. Small, distributed units that move pallets directly could fundamentally change warehouse operations. Less congestion in aisles, more flexible layouts, and potentially smoother material flow without relying on a single...
We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive...

Multiple euro-region industrial reports will draw attention this week, although their focus on February — before war began in the Middle East — may limit their utility for investors https://t.co/CfoQtcZf4b via @CraigStirling https://t.co/tAswRZZD3n
Unfortunately, this is true. And the whole reason we must bring manufacturing back from China. We are at a massive disadvantage as long as our supply chains are global.
For decades, the erosion of America's industrial capacity has been gradual and largely ignored. First, it was foundational sectors: solar, batteries, furniture, footwear, pharmaceuticals. Now, the shift is moving into advanced industries: materials, biotechnology, semiconductors and increasingly, technology and software. This is not...
Tariffs sustain US steel prices; infrastructure demand firm. Nucor: scale + scrap verticals; Commercial Metals: rebar exposure, M&A. Risks: demand slump, tariff rollback. Trade: Buy Nucor for FCF upside. — Viktor Kopylov, PhD, CFA. More insights: t.me/si14Kopylov
A Spider-Man stunt… executed by a robot. That says more about robotics than it seems. Disney Imagineers built a system that flies over 25 meters in the air → adjusting its motion in real time. → flips → rotation → speed control → balance All handled mid-flight. What...
Coordination is becoming the real breakthrough. It’s not just what one drone can do, it’s what multiple systems can achieve together. When drones can coordinate in real time without heavy sensor stacks, you unlock new possibilities for transport, inspection, and logistics in...
