• The power budget of on-device AI in robots: ask about watts before compute

  Robot AI · October 3, 2026

  How much AI fits in a robot is usually decided by the battery, the cooling and the enclosure. Here are five questions engineering teams should answer first when evaluating on-device large models.

• Reading IFR World Robotics 2026: how fast robots are reaching the factory floor

  Industry data · October 3, 2026

  More than 600,000 industrial robots were installed worldwide in 2025, 59% of them in China. Here are the key figures from the report and what they mean for robot AI.

• The memory wall: why data movement, not compute, limits AI chips

  Architecture & physics · October 3, 2026

  Reading data from external DRAM can cost thousands of times more energy than an integer add. That physical fact explains why on-device large models depend on the data path, not on peak compute.
