Amid that uncertainty, Feather, a young startup founded in 2025, is pursuing a third path: building a modular, affordable, fully functional humanoid platform that…

Industrial AI is entering a new phase. After decades of predictive analytics and other specialized applications, advances in foundation models, physical AI, and agentic AI are making it possible to automate more complex tasks across industrial environments. But unlike AI that operates purely in the digital world, industrial AI can interact directly with physical systems,…

But the standard way companies justify automation investments, hours saved times labor cost minus build cost, was designed for rule-based tools like robotic process automation (RPA). That model misses most of the value agents…
