The robotics industry is growing – and fast. Predicted to hit $34 billion in the US this year, the robotics market is changing the way companies interact, factories assemble, and people work. The work behind these robots is no easy feat, it takes years, sometimes even decades to build the machines we rely on. So, why is robotic manipulation important and how can it provide a cutting-edge solution within the industry?

In the latest episode of CalTV, a Calvary Robotics podcast, host Mike Marseglia invites guest Jared Glover, CEO of CapSen Robotics to discuss CapSen’s history and its cutting-edge solution to bin-picking within the industry.

Marseglia and Glover go over:

1) How CapSen was founded and the market research that went into growing their 3D vision and robotic manipulation capabilities

2) What 3D bin-picking is, and why it is so important within the industry

3) The challenges to the industry and what makes this technology cutting-edge

“What’s really challenging in a lot of cases is, you know, how do you get the robot to do everything that a person would be doing…how do you get the robot to do more complicated things with the objects after they get picked out of the bin?,” said Glover. This is where cutting-edge robotic manipulation comes into play.

Glover is the CEO and Co-founder of CapSen Robotics, an advanced 3D vision and motion planning software for industrial robot automation in Pittsburgh, PA. Glover is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his B.S. in Computer Science, before heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete his PhD in Computer Science.

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia introduced DSX POD, a containerized reference design that standardizes assembly of Vera Rubin AI factory blocks offsite before delivery, aiming to reduce onsite deployment work from six months to roughly two weeks. Partners build, test and cable complete systems in containers; sites still must handle land prep, power generation, water supply and external connectivity in parallel.

  • 01Containerized assembly moves factory-critical tasks like cabling, loop flushing and commissioning offsite, converting unpredictable project work into repeatable products with test records.
  • 02Power enters each core container at 800 volts DC; sites must engineer upstream generation and conversion. Cooling is liquid only; containers handle internal plumbing while sites supply water and heat rejection.
  • 03Deployment time depends on parallel site preparation: land, foundations, power and external connectivity must be ready before container arrival; on-site work is reduced, not eliminated.

A digital twin without real-time data is only a 3D model

A digital twin without real-time data is only a 3D model

Premio product marketing specialist Annie Yang, speaking at Embedded World North America 2026, separates operational digital twins from design simulations and maps a rugged edge computer's four jobs: connect, process, accelerate and operate. Premio's VCL, RCL and JCL series hold up to two full-height, full-length GPUs, and Nvidia's Jetson range spans 157 to 2,070 TOPS.

  • 01Premio's VCL, RCL and JCL series hold up to two full-height, full-length GPUs, and the NVIDIA RTX Pro Blackwell is the newest card the company supports.
  • 02Nvidia's own Jetson figures run from 157 TOPS to 2,070 TOPS, which is why Premio offers Intel, Jetson and AMD processors for different twin workloads.

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

US industrial production rose 0.7% in September, led by a 3.5% jump in utilities output while factories added only 0.3%. Factory output remains below its 2017 level. Total capacity use hit 76.9%, but manufacturing's 75.9% rate shows slack persists on production lines even as mines run above their long-run norm.

  • 01Manufacturing utilization has held between 75.8% and 76.0% since April, 2.3 points under its long-run norm.
  • 02The November 17 release is the test: a factory operating rate breaking out of its six-month band, or utilities giving back September's 3.5%, would change the read on where capacity is tight.
