With EWS.Varia, a tool change takes just 30 seconds! Tools can be preset outside the machine, positioned in the turret and secured using a one-handed wrench. Faster changeovers, simpler setups and less time spent away from machining!

At the same time, we’ve launched the ROBOTUO Open Source Center in Shenzhen Robot Valley!
If you’re building a robotics or Physical AI product and want to showcase it to the world, we’d love to feature it at our center.
Feel free to DM me or reach out at [email protected]!
Can't believe our first WeChat group for global founders in Shenzhen has already hit 500 members and is full! We just opened a second group.
We're welcoming founders, builders, and developers from around the world who are working on robotics and Physical AI in Shenzhen to join our community.
DM me if you'd like to join!

We now have a good definition of the singularity:
"When AI systems speed up the pace of overall scientific and technical progress in a way that is hard for humans to comprehend."
According to Jack Clark, it's already here. I would find it hard to disagree.
ANTHROPIC CO-FOUNDER TELLS THE IMF THE SINGULARITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN
"I believe that this year, we've gained convincing evidence that it has now begun"
"a point where our models must be discarded and a new reality rules"
"the singularity is here"
at least this time Clark shares his definition of what "singularity" means, and even by this definition I'm not sure we are there yet. AI is clearly speeding up progress dramatically in some areas, but it is still uneven, with plenty of bottlenecks preventing broad, self-sustaining acceleration
even the recent math progress still looks more like a massive speed-up of technical work than completely new theories or brilliant conceptual breakthroughs. so if you ask me, the singularity is not here yet, but the current pace may already be enough to create massive social and technological turbulence

🇨🇦 Waymo targets Toronto robotaxi rides in 2028 and plans hundreds of local roles with partners.
Driverless isn’t workerless. For Canadian workers, the opportunity shifts toward fleet upkeep and operations..not just the driver’s seat.

It seems Unitree has turned its Spring Festival Gala performance into a commercial product.
Unitree has launched the "UniUni" Intelligent Swarm Control System.
It enables the rapid, intelligent choreography of fleets of humanoid robots for group performances, such as kung fu routines or dance sequences.

The new Tesla Roadster Thrust gets its push from a cold-gas system, and almost every piece of it comes from somewhere else in Elon's world
It starts in the back, where the trunk would be. A 200 litre carbon overwrap pressure vessel (COPV), built on SpaceX tank tech, stores nitrogen at up to about 10,000 PSI
When you hit boost, that gas rushes to a valve. An actuator borrowed from Optimus snaps it open with robot-level precision
From there the gas splits into equal-length pipes, so all four rear nozzles get the same pressure at the same instant and the push stays perfectly balanced
Compressed nitrogen blasts out the back, and the car launches to 60 mph in under 1 second
No afterburner, no burning fuel. In the engineers' words: "That's not Tesla"
The target was roughly the thrust of a fighter jet

🇨🇦 Canada’s 10-year bond yield fell about 8 basis points to 3.795% this morning.
Lower yields lift existing bond prices—but retirees reinvesting cash lock in less yield, not more.

India’s manufacturing sector registered 7.0% growth in the manufacturing component of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) during April–July 2026, compared with the corresponding period in 2025.
The upward trajectory highlights the sector’s contribution to industrial expansion, strengthening domestic production capabilities and supporting India’s broader economic growth.
