  • Autonomous robots: simplicity over complexity in warehouse automation

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    Less = more? A new “no-maneuvering” class of autonomous robots is redefining pallet transportation. That idea is starting to show up in real operations. What stands out to me is the design philosophy. No complex turning. No wasted space. Just precise, omnidirectional movement. A compact system that slides under pallets and moves them with control. And yet, it delivers where it matters: • Handles loads up to 1.2 tons • Moves at operational speeds • Uses laser navigation for accuracy • Works in tight, space-constrained environments The shift here is practical. From large, rigid machines… to simple, flexible systems that reduce infrastructure constraints. This is where things start to scale. Because in intra-logistics, efficiency isn’t about adding more layers. It’s about removing friction. So here’s something I’d be curious to hear from you: Will the future of warehouse automation be driven by more capability… or less complexity? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #Automation #Logistics #Innovation #FutureOfWork

    If you’re serious about AI, this is worth your attention. Stanford has just released its course CME 295: Transformers & Large Language Models in full on YouTube. What stands out to me is the level of clarity and structure. This isn’t another surface-level overview. It’s the actual curriculum used to teach how modern AI systems work. This will help you move from using AI to understanding it. 📚 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲: • How Transformers actually work (tokenization, attention, embeddings) • Decoding strategies & MoEs • LLM finetuning (LoRA, RLHF, supervised) • Evaluation techniques (LLM-as-a-judge) • Optimization tricks (RoPE, quantization, approximations) • Reasoning & scaling • Agentic workflows (RAG, tool calling) 🎥 Watch these now: – Lecture 1: zurl.co/F0QR5 – Lecture 2: zurl.co/hG5lp – Lecture 3: zurl.co/PnKrW – Lecture 4: zurl.co/XCZoE – Lecture 5: zurl.co/GWlYI – Lecture 6: zurl.co/zGqqQ – Lecture 7: zurl.co/T06NM – Lecture 8: zurl.co/Un42q – Lecture 9: zurl.co/rR3YL For 2026, consider setting aside 2–3 hours each week to go through these lectures. If you’re working in AI whether on infrastructure, agents, or applications, this is a foundational resource worth your time. It’s a simple way to build depth where it matters most. #AI #LLMs #Transformers #Stanford #GenAI

  • AI-First Strategy Fails Without Strong Foundations
    AI-First Strategy Fails Without Strong Foundations

    Everyone wants to be AI-first. Almost no one wants to fix the foundations. AI agents. LLMs. MCPs. A2A everywhere. Because that’s what everyone is talking about. CEOs push the “AI-first” narrative. More demos. More prototypes. More speed. Impressive on the surface. But what stands out to me is what’s missing underneath. Data quality. Culture. Skills. Clear ownership. The invisible layer. And nobody pays attention to what they can’t see… until it breaks. That’s usually when the polished POCs fail in production. The shift here is fundamental. AI doesn’t fail at the top. It fails because the foundation was never finished. This is where things change. Foundations aren’t boring work. They’re the only reason anything above them stays standing. So here’s the real question: Are you building AI for visibility… or building something that can actually last? #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #AITransformation #Leadership #FutureOfWork #Innovation

  • Energy Scale: The Next AI Race Will Be Won in Megawatts

    𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘀. And right now, one country is moving faster than everyone else. China is not just “going green.” It’s building scale most economies can’t match. What stands out to me is this: Over the next decade, the constraint will not be ideas. It will be 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿. AI, data centers, robotics, electrified industry, automation… All of it runs on one thing: Reliable, cheap electricity at scale. And China is accelerating that aggressively: ↳ 880+ GW solar capacity (2024) ↳ 277 GW added in a single year ↳ Passed 1 terawatt in 2025 That’s not a climate milestone. That’s an industrial strategy. Here is what many people still underestimate: 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲. Because at this scale, energy becomes leverage: ▪️ Lower manufacturing costs ▪️ Faster electrification ▪️ Stronger supply chains ▪️ Less exposure to fuel shocks ▪️ More capacity for AI and compute This is where the shift is happening. Countries that scale power will scale industry. Those that don’t… will depend on those who do. And this is happening faster than most leaders expect.

  • Reflect Orbital: On-Demand Sunlight Through AI-Coordinated Space Mirrors

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    You will soon be able to order sunlight the way you order a ride. That is not a metaphor. Reflect Orbital is building small satellites with deployable mirrors that can redirect sunlight to a specific area on Earth, on demand. What stands out to me is this: the innovation is not “a mirror in space.” It is the coordination layer. Thousands of moving mirrors, orbital timing, angles, cloud cover, target constraints, safety, and permissions. That is not human operations. That is software and AI doing continuous control at scale. Why this matters now: ↳ disaster response gets light without generators ↳ construction and industrial sites extend safe working hours ↳ search and rescue gains instant illumination ↳ solar farms could extend production windows And yes, it is already controversial. If we get this wrong, it becomes light pollution from orbit. ) This is where things change. Space infrastructure is turning into on-demand services. And AI is the only way it scales. Question for you: would you use “sunlight as a service” in your industry, or is this a line we should not cross? #AI #SpaceTech #Innovation #ClimateTech #FutureOfWork #DisasterResponse #Automation #Technology #Satellites

    Too late for epic quests. Too early for the AI utopia. Right on time for “Let’s add AI to the process” meetings and soul-draining busywork. AI can delete busywork, but we keep using it to mass-produce it, now with better grammar. Perfect timing to automate the nonsense. Where has AI actually removed work for you, and where has it just upgraded the bureaucracy? #AI #FutureOfWork #Workplace #Automation #Technology #Leadership Credit: Ralph

  • Kingfisher beak redesigns bullet trains for efficiency

    By

    @pascal_bornet

    –

    Japan’s bullet trains had a problem big enough to threaten the future of high-speed rail. At 200 mph, tunnels turned them into sonic bombs. Noise complaints grew. Communities suffered. Speed restrictions became a real risk. What stands out to me is this: The solution did not come from more force. It came from a bird. Engineer Eiji Nakatsu studied the kingfisher, which moves from air into water with barely a splash, and used that insight to redesign the Shinkansen’s nose. The result was remarkable: ↳ sonic boom dramatically reduced ↳ trains became about 10% faster ↳ electricity use dropped by around 15% But this was never just about noise. This is the deeper impact: ↳ 15% less energy has been framed as 200,000 fewer tons of CO2 annually ↳ 10% faster speeds can mean more people living outside expensive cities while still commuting ↳ quieter tunnels can mean families near the tracks finally sleeping through the night That is what makes this story bigger than engineering. One bird’s beak did not just improve a train. It reshaped how an entire system could perform, with less friction for people and the environment. I see a much bigger lesson here. The best innovation does not always come from adding more power, more cost, or more complexity. Sometimes it comes from observing better. Nature has already solved for speed, efficiency, resilience, and adaptation. The real question is whether we are humble enough to learn from it. Because the future will not belong only to those who build more powerful systems. It will belong to those who build systems that work better with reality. What system in your industry is still being forced forward when it should be fundamentally redesigned? #Innovation #Biomimicry #Engineering #Leadership #Technology #Transportation #Sustainability #AI #FutureOfWork #PascalBornet

    Silicon Valley Warning: AI Industry May Be Scaling in Wrong Direction

    There is an old Silicon Valley warning that the AI industry should probably take more seriously: “𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗚𝗜, 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗚𝗜, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲.” And that may be the bigger point. Not just whether LLM scaling reaches AGI. But whether the world’s smartest companies are becoming incredibly efficient at going faster in the wrong direction. #technology #ai #workplace Image credit: Ralph

    𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱. That’s the real shift I’m seeing from NVIDIA’s GTC. Using Isaac Lab, robots are learning through reinforcement learning in simulation: ▪️ Millions of trials ▪️ No step-by-step instructions ▪️ Learning by reward and feedback That’s how a machine learns to drive, jump, flip… and recover. What stands out to me is this: 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 → 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. And once systems can learn, they don’t just execute. They adapt. Same shift we saw with LLMs. Now it’s happening in the physical world.

    𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗮 “𝗵𝗼𝘁” 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄? Call it 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 😎 That’s it. I’ve been noticing a pattern. Almost every founder I speak with is building “AI agents.” Not because they all discovered the same breakthrough. Because the narrative is already winning. Yes, the shift is real. Even Gartner expects a meaningful share of enterprise interactions to move in this direction soon. But here’s the uncomfortable part. Most “agents” today: ▪️ Call a few APIs ▪️ Chain some prompts ▪️ Work on the happy path ▪️ Break when things get real We describe them as if they “reason,” “decide,” and “act.” What stands out to me is this: 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Most agents look impressive. Few deliver consistently. Because customers don’t care about the label. They care if it works. And when it truly works… 𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.
