Artificial intelligence has been reshaping software for years. But a distinct category—one that matters far more to mechanical engineers and hardware companies—has quietly matured to the point where it’s changing how physical products are designed, manufactured, and operated. Physical AI is the category of artificial intelligence that must operate within the constraints of the physical […]

U.S. manufacturing output hits $2.91 trillion. Now it needs 3.8 million more workers. If American manufacturing were a standalone economy, it would be the 8th largest in the world — ahead of France, just behind the United Kingdom. In 2024, U.S. manufacturing value added reached $2.91 trillion, an all-time record in nominal dollars. And the […]

The global race for physical AI dominance has officially moved from long-term research into a capital-intensive commercial sprint. The explosive growth of humanoid robotics manufacturing mirrors a classic hardware gold rush: venture capital is flooding the space, and the timeline to field a functional unit has compressed dramatically. The pressure on engineering and operations teams […]

One of the biggest misconceptions about AI in manufacturing is that its primary purpose is factory automation. In practice, the most immediate impact of AI is happening much earlier in the product lifecycle—inside engineering, sourcing, manufacturability analysis, and production planning workflows. For many engineering teams, the term “AI-powered manufacturing” still feels abstract. Most conversations around […]
