Robots cleaning your cars! 🧼 The Autowash Robotics Operating System went into commercial operation this month at their Lakeside site in Wheat Ridge, after around 14 months of development. Here's what happens when you pull in. The system scans the car in 3D first, reading shape, dimensions, contours and whatever is attached to it. Cargo boxes, spoilers, aftermarket accessories. That becomes a digital model of the vehicle. Two industrial arms then generate a cleaning path for that specific car in real time, rather than running the same fixed spray pattern over everything. Still fully touch-free, with high-pressure filtered water and non-corrosive, PFAS-free chemistry. → Under 20 gallons of water per wash, roughly 76 litres → Clean and dry in about four minutes → A four-bay site draws 320 amps, around half a conventional touch-free installation P.S. Curious how this holds up at scale. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Full interview with Firestorm CEO @DanMagy at the @NYSE on drones and its xCell shipping-container 3D printing factor for the edge. "We figured out basically how to run these things in really hot, humid, cold environments with this kind of expandable 20-foot shipping container." "So you basically load in a CAD, or you design your own part. You hit print." "And I could literally train you two in less than two hours how to run the system to about an 80% competency. And then when the parts come out, you basically can assemble things at the point of need."

Just last night, in response to @SecWar’s establishment of Autonomous Warfare Command, the @USArmy announced Futures and Autonomous Systems Command (FASCOM). This is how we couple all of the great work that's happening with our vast resources and centralize them so we can scale and coordinate. 
We're pushing autonomy down into our units, but when it comes to acquisition and making sure our left hand knows what the right hand is doing, this happens in FASCOM, and feeds up into AutoWarCom and across the services. Live at #AUSA2026#
