India marks 10 years of Digital India, expands AI training for rural citizensIndia’s Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, celebrated a decade of Digital India achievements – including the Common Service Centre (CSC) network – by announcing free AI training for 1 million citizens, with village-level entrepreneurs (VLEs) given priority.Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw emphasized CSC's reach — serving nearly 90 percent of villages — and praised the digital empowerment of rural communities, especially women leaders. The event highlighted CSCs' pivotal role in bridging the digital divide and delivering essential government and business services nationwide.Robots gain new autonomy with ‘robot metabolism’ and self-healResearchers at Columbia University have unveiled robots capable of self-growth and repair by absorbing parts from other machines or their environment—a process they call "Robot Metabolism." Demonstrated using modular, magnet-link robots, these machines can physically adapt, heal damage, and enhance their abilities.This breakthrough enables a new level of physical autonomy, potentially transforming applications in disaster recovery and space exploration. Experts see this as the first step towards robots capable of long-term, self-sustaining operations.Former Waymo engineers’ venture Bedrock Robotics raises $80 millionBedrock Robotics, founded by Waymo veterans, has emerged from stealth with $80 million in funding aimed at bringing cutting automation tech to the construction industry.The company retrofits existing heavy equipment like excavators with AI, cameras, and lidar for 24/7 operation. Their solution addresses labor shortages and productivity in construction without requiring purchase of new machinery. Bedrock’s technology aims to speed up projects, cut labor costs, and enhance operational data insights while enabling human crews to focus on complex tasks.Quadsat, Danish electronic warfare tech venture, raises €5 millionQuadsat, a Danish leader in spectrum intelligence and RF geolocation, has secured €5 million to advance its defense-grade electronic warfare solutions. Their drone-based technology rapidly detects, classifies, and pinpoints hostile signals, supporting military and commercial satellite operators amid rising threats of jamming and interference.The new funding accelerates Quadsat’s growth in NATO markets and enhances its flexible, field-deployable systems, positioning the company to set new standards in spectrum awareness and multi-domain electronic warfare.Zuppa, drone startup, raises $1.5 million bridge from operator-angelsHere in India, Zuppa Geo Navigation Technologies, a drone technologies venture, has secured $1.5 million in a bridge round led by operator-angels including Rahul Dewan and Ajay Gupta and the Mangwani Family Office, according to a press release.The money and strategic backing will help Zuppa strengthen its proprietary drone platforms, which operate independently of GPS or strong internet, according to the release.NASA will not publish key US climate report onlineNASA has reversed plans to host the latest US National Climate Assessment online, citing no legal obligation, after the previous public website was shut down. This move contradicts earlier White House guidance and complicates public access to critical, peer-reviewed findings about climate change risks in the US, according to Space.com.Experts warn the decision hinders transparent access to essential science used by officials, researchers, and communities to plan for climate resilience, Space.com notes.Ati Motors’ product day this weekend: what you should knowIn the world of industrial robots, pathbreaking work is being done not just in far away Denmark or Japan or South Korea, but right here in namma Bengaluru, by companies like Ati Motors and CynLr.This Saturday in fact, Ati is holding its annual product day, where one can anticipate some cutting-edge innovations to be unveiled, at the Indian Institute of Science’s JN Tata Auditorium complex.In industry, the reasons for automation usually the practical and pragmatic ones, in terms of improving productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.
