From Wildfire Detection to Fast Mapping: AIVE AI Systems Expands Access to Geospatial Data
The startup is developing tools that create georeferenced 2D maps from a small number of images, without requiring specialized infrastructure. INTERGEO brings together established geospatial companies and startups exploring new approaches to mapping. At the 2026 event in Munich, AIVE Systems demonstrated how artificial intelligence could simplify complex mapping tasks. The company’s software…

Agility’s new humanoid robot will stop, squat to avoid harming human coworkers
Robots can start working outside physical cages and without safety barriers.
Digit 5 May Be the First Humanoid Robot Worker That’s Truly Safe
Despite the recent deluge of videos of humanoid robots doing backflips and kung-fu, the actual pace of progress towards humanoids that can do economically viable jobs at scale has at times seemed a bit plodding. There are some good reasons for this: a humanoid robot needs to be powerful enough to do useful work, safe enough for humans to walk past, and have enough battery life to limit how much…
The Drone Is No Longer the Point
At INTERGEO, attention has shifted from individual platforms to complete geospatial workflows. One of the clearest drone industry trends at INTERGEO 2026 is not a new aircraft or sensor. It is how fully drones have entered the wider geospatial workflow. In earlier years, drones occupied their own category and their own space on the show […]
Tesla’s record month: 4 fatal Autopilot and Full Self-Driving crashes
July 2026 was the worst month on record for Tesla driver-assist crashes. Tesla reported 236 of them to federal regulators, the most it has ever filed in a single month. Four of those crashes killed someone. In every one, Tesla’s own data says Autopilot or “Full Self-Driving” was engaged, and in every one, the public was never told the system was involved. This is the latest from our ongoing…
