"🚨 BREAKING: SoftBank is making a $5.4B bet on industrial robotics by acquiring ABB Robotics. The company announced it will acquire ABB Robotics (the robot division of ABB) abandoning ABBs earlier plan to spin the unit off as a separate listing. The deal is expected to close in mid-to-late 2026. ABB Robotics employs now 7000 people and generated $2.3B in sales last year (around X% of ABBs revenue) but has struggled with profitability amid subdued demand in Asia. Under new CEO Morten Wierod ABB chose divestment focusing instead on electrification and automation. For SoftBank this is Masayoshi"

"Tomato sorting machine πŸ… When a farmer says he doesn't need AI because he's got his AI at home. His AI at home be like. That's super clever. Instead of performing quality checks at the factory floor this system allows them to be carried out during harvesting. This approach keeps the harvest moving without interruption removes foreign objects like stones or plastic immediately and gives operators real-time control over sorting thresholds. It's great to see modern optical vision systems now handle sorting directly in the field. Because farmers aren't interested to have fancy names or AI-driven"

"Robot as a 3D printer πŸ–¨ Laser metal deposition is a process where a high-power laser melts and applies material to a surface. It can be used for repairs wear and corrosion protection and 3D component manufacturing. This method works by using either metal powder or welding wire as the filler material. The laser melts the surface and the filler material bonding them together. Interestingly robots can be involved in this process. Wire-based laser metal deposition is an efficient 3D printing process for producing metal parts especially large or complex components. KUKA with their partners like"

"🚨 BREAKING: SoftBank is making a $5.4B bet on industrial robotics by acquiring ABB Robotics. The company announced it will acquire ABB Robotics (the robot division of ABB) abandoning ABBs earlier plan to spin the unit off as a separate listing. The deal is expected to close in mid-to-late 2026. ABB Robotics employs now 7000 people and generated $2.3B in sales last year (around X% of ABBs revenue) but has struggled with profitability amid subdued demand in Asia. Under new CEO Morten Wierod ABB chose divestment focusing instead on electrification and automation. For SoftBank this is Masayoshi"

Instead of performing quality checks at the factory floor this system allows them to be carried out during harvesting. This approach keeps the harvest moving without interruption removes foreign objects like stones or plastic immediately and gives operators real-time control over sorting thresholds. It's great to see modern optical vision systems now handle sorting directly in the field. Because farmers aren't interested to have fancy names or AI-driven"

"Robot as a 3D printer πŸ–¨ Laser metal deposition is a process where a high-power laser melts and applies material to a surface. It can be used for repairs wear and corrosion protection and 3D component manufacturing. This method works by using either metal powder or welding wire as the filler material. The laser melts the surface and the filler material bonding them together. Interestingly robots can be involved in this process. Wire-based laser metal deposition is an efficient 3D printing process for producing metal parts especially large or complex components. KUKA with their partners like"
