Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety reasons, this arm senses subtle forces, stretching and flexing in ways that mimic more of the compliance of a human hand. Its every motion is calculated to […]

Behind the scenes, a whole family of specialized architectures is quietly transforming how machines see, plan, act, segment, represent concepts, and even run efficiently on small devices. Each of these models solves a different part of the intelligence puzzle, and together they’re shaping the next generation of AI systems. In this article, we’ll explore the five major players: Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision-Language Models […]

A Neuro-Symbolic Architecture for Industrial Cognition
Author(s): Carlos Eduardo Favini Originally published on Towards AI. By Carlos Eduardo Favini Industrial AI — Image by Author 1. The Semantic Ceiling: Why Industrial AI Stalls After two decades of investment, roughly 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to scale beyond pilot stages (McKinsey, 2023). Industry 4.0 delivered connectivity — sensors, networks, data lakes — but not cognition. The result: dashboards that monitor but don’t decide, models that predict but don’t understand, and automation that breaks when […]

Boccia and Turman explain why block-granting SNAP and shifting fiscal responsibility to states would actually strengthen program integrity. If you’d like to set up an interview […]
