Leaders In Sustainable, Purified ‘Water-From-Air’ Generation Technology To Offer A Tangible Solution To Water Scarcity Crisis; Providing Cross-Industry Carbon Footprint And Plastics Waste Reduction

NEW YORK, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On World Water Day, an annual United Nations (UN) observance date held on the 22nd of March highlighting the importance of fresh water and the sustainable management of freshwater resources, Beyond Water, an international enterprise and one of the world’s leading producers of Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology, proudly announces the launch of its bold, next generation water scarcity solution-provider.

The company, having to-date successfully produced over 100 million liters of water and saved 200 million more, and having deployed over 300 projects already across the globe, will launch in the United States its groundbreaking, fully sustainable ecosystem atmospheric water generation (AWG) technology, providing purified water entirely from the air, thus, a model entirely sustainable, and replicable the world over.

Beyond Water’s novel ‘AWG’ technology will provide a scalable, sustainable and next generation solution for cross-sector industries seeking reliable access to clean drinking water, while reducing a today-antiquated reliance on traditional water sources in the process.

There is no time to lose – Each year on World Water Day, the United Nations releases its World Water Development Report (WWDR) – Indeed the 2024 World Water Development Report noted that 2.2 billion people did not have access to safely managed drinking water, and that two years prior, roughly half of the entire global population experienced at least temporary severe water scarcity.

And, as the world continues to face increasing water scarcity, Beyond Water’s advanced AWG technology offers a 2025-era solution; an innovative technology extracting moisture from the air, converting it into high-quality drinking water, all undertaken without depleting natural resources.

In adherence with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the AWG ecosystem meets 11 of the 17 goals. The Beyond Water portfolio proudly offers end-to-end solutions including mobile and commercial scale bottling plants, water hubs, water kiosks, combined with fresh air-cooling systems to plug and play in tandem with home/office machines; dramatically reducing plastic utilization necessity and the carbon footprint of any business.

With the ability to produce large volumes of premium quality water, this AWG ecosystem is tailored for hospitality, commercial facilities, beverage manufacturing, oil and gas, construction, industrial applications, governmental entities and non-government organizations (NGOs), as but examples, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional water supply methods.

“On World Water Day, we are proud to spotlight our groundbreaking solution, which aligns with global efforts to combat water scarcity, providing water from air, which can be made anywhere, at any time. No complex infrastructure is necessary; no navigating the intricacies therein; and no need to depend on outdated and inefficient pipelines,” stated Roheen Berry, Founder, Beyond Water.

“Our June launch in the US and in due course globally will mark a major step toward making a fully sustainable, end to end ecosystem of high-quality water accessible to the industries that need it most.”

Leading up to the June 2025 launch, Beyond Water will activate several strategic initiatives to drive awareness, industry adoption, and U.S. and truly global collaboration:

Exclusive Pre-Launch Demonstrations – Select partners, industry leaders, and media will experience firsthand how Beyond Water’s AWG technology delivers a sustainable, eco-compliant, and premium water source
 Strategic Partnerships & CSR Programs – Beyond Water is forging collaborations with hotels, corporate campuses, and bottling facilities across the broader United States to integrate AWG solutions ahead of the full-scale commercial release;
 Tampa Press & Industry Tour (June 2025) – The official launch in Tampa, Florida, will feature live demonstrations, executive insights, and expert panel discussions on-site, rightfully positioning Beyond Water in the process as a leading innovator in the provision of sustainable water technology.

The June U.S. launch is a significant milestone in Beyond Water’s long-term strategy, indeed debuting the world’s largest Bottling Plant in Tampa, Florida, providing a completely sustainable solution where every person can join in saving the world’s water supply.

Following the launch, the company will introduce its highly anticipated consumer product, slated for Q1 2026, bringing AWG technology directly to households and individuals seeking premium, eco-friendly, bottled water solutions.

“Let’s be clear – Water scarcity is no longer a future problem or existential threat —it is a crisis facing communities across the globe today,” Berry added.

“In response, the private sector must lead by example – We at Beyond Water are dedicated to delivering immediate, scalable and tangible solutions that align with global sustainability goals. No more promises or pledges – Our technology represents the next evolution in clean water access for businesses and consumers alike.”

Agile Robots Launches Agile ONE SN Humanoid at NVIDIA GTC Berlin and Pilots Humanoids with Audi

Published

on

By

BERLIN, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On 21 October, Agile Robots and NVIDIA launched the research humanoid Agile ONE SN at NVIDIA GTC Berlin. Agile Robots has released its new-generation Diana 7 and Diana 3 arms, both supporting the Franka Control Interface (FCI).

Agile ONE SN: humanoid reference platform

Agile ONE SN is built on the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T development platform. The 1.4-metre, 43-kilogram humanoid has dual WUJI tactile five-finger hands and 71 degrees of freedom in total, runs on NVIDIA Jetson Thor and ships with the GR00T 1.7 open VLA model. Skills developed on it can transfer to the full-size industrial Agile ONE. Availability is planned for early 2027.

Two days earlier, at the Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin, NVIDIA announced plans to invest in Agile Robots.

“Agile ONE SN gives R&D labs around the world a complete humanoid platform that is ready from day one,” said Dr. Zhaopeng Chen, founder and CEO of Agile Robots.

Application: humanoids in Audi’s logistics

Agile Robots, AUDI AG, Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA also announced a joint project at Audi’s Ingolstadt plant. In the Audi Production Lab, mobile humanoids pick parts from containers and sequence them for final assembly, a task performed around one million times a day. The workcell is first tested in a DELMIA virtual twin accelerated by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries.

Diana 7 and Diana 3: one interface, from lab to industrial payloads

Diana 7 extends Franka Research 3 to higher payloads and reach, while Diana 3 brings the same force-control platform to entry-level research. Both share ±0.05 mm repeatability and 0.5 N relative force-control accuracy, and both support FCI, so Franka Research 3 code moves directly to Diana.

Diana 3 keeps seven degrees of freedom, joint torque sensing and compliant control for precision manipulation, lab automation and sample handling. Diana 7, shown at the 26th China International Industry Fair in Shanghai (12–16 October), offers 7 kg payload and 923 mm reach, and weighs 2 kg less than before.

About Agile Robots

Founded in Munich in 2018 by robotics researchers from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Agile Robots provides AI-powered robotics solutions and employs more than 3,500 people worldwide. With its subsidiaries BÄR Automation, Franka Robotics, idealworks and Krause Automation, it covers all areas of AI-driven robotics.
