iGarden Robotics: Expo 2025’s Vision for Outdoor Living

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — “By 2050, we’ll coexist with 10 billion robots,” predicted Masayoshi Son—a vision echoed at Osaka’s Future Life Pavilion, where 50 robots showcased blurred lines between tools and companions.

At Expo 2025, with 28 million onsite and 250 million virtual visitors expected, the outdoor tech innovator, Fairland Group, wows global audiences with outdoor robotics and smart iGarden ecosystems at the Future Life Village’s Special Limited-Time Exhibition.

A Delightful Outdoor Living, Freer Than Ever

With the world-record-breaking innovations under the banner “iGarden Robotics”, the supercar-inspired lawn and pool robots and VR experience drew massive queues for hands-on demos.

Their latest lawnmower, a Guinness World Record holder for “longest duration robotic lawn mower (prototype),” delivers 30 hours of operation per charge, while the pool-cleaning robot boasts a 40-hour runtime—enough for a month of pool maintenance. Visitors marveled about the “VR iGarden,” with one blogger declaring it “a glimpse into an outdoor utopia”; where humanoid hosts welcomed guests to energy-free, four-season gardens, and self-drive robots maintained lawns and pools like supercars at 24 Hours of Le Mans.

iGarden’s fully automatic pool ecosystem also attracted enthusiasts from pool-centric nations like France and the U.S. Developed by Fairland Group’s specialized tech brands—Fairland, Aquark, and Aquagem — the AIoT-connected system features inverter heat pumps, a self-regulating inverter water treatment system, and energy-efficient inverter water pumps—all synced with a solar energy storage system for carbon-neutral operation. A German visitor noted, “It’s the future of backyard leisure.”

A Robot-Filled Future, Closer Than Ever

From taming nature with roaring machines in 1851 to dancing with tech in our backyards by 2025, World Expos show a beautiful flip—innovation no longer shouts for attention. It whispers ideas while making life magical.

iGarden Robotics further fueled excitement, with media praising its “supercar aesthetics that could win design fans.” Who knows? Your future garden buddy might already be charging in a lab somewhere!  As iGarden VR experience fades to black, one message lingers: The outdoor tech revolution isn’t coming in 30 years—it’s charging ahead at Expo 2025.

Don’t miss the next spotlight of iGarden Robotics at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans this June!

Arya.ai Unveils MCP Applications to Transform Generic LLMs into Domain-Specific Experts

Published

on

By

MUMBAI, India and NEW YORK, May 12, 2025 /CNW/ — Arya.ai today announced the launch of its APEX MCP (Model Context Protocol) Client and Server applications. It’s a breakthrough orchestration layer designed to turn general-purpose large language models into verifiable domain experts.

As LLMs become integral across customer support, operations, and compliance workflows, a familiar problem emerges: hallucinations, inconsistency, and poor reliability in domain-specific tasks. Arya.ai’s answer? A modular layer of pre-trained applications that wrap domain knowledge around any LLM, making it trustworthy.

“At its core, MCP is adapted as an orchestration engine that brings domain context, reduced hallucinations, and precision to GenAI-driven applications,” said Deekshith Marla, Founder of Arya.ai. “It’s not just about prompting smarter—it’s about gaining from a foundation of verified, validated expertise.”

Domain-Wrapping at Scale

With over 100 pre-built AI modules empowering the foundational LLM, Arya’s MCP-enabled APEX platform allows teams to compose workflows that extend across Finance, Compliance, Privacy, Customer Experience, and more. Each module is engineered to handle nuanced domain specific tasks like analyzing financial statements, credit assessment, detecting document fraud, verifying identities, audio analysis, Insurance claims processing, and a lot more.

Modules can be discovered via a searchable catalog, invoked through JSON-RPC, and chained together via APEX’s no-code UI. Whether extracting data, enforcing rules, or pre-processing context, each module wraps an LLM in domain-grounded input and post-validates its outputs, making AI trustworthy by design.

Plug, Play, and Govern

The MCP Server handles module discovery, execution, and logging, while the MCP Client orchestrates pre-processing and LLM integration.

It’s LLM agnostic that gives enterprises full flexibility.

What sets it apart?

Audit-Ready AI: Every module call, prompt, and LLM response is logged, ensuring traceability and compliance.Zero Rewrite Integration: Add or swap modules without touching the application logic.Scalable Composition: Create powerful AI workflows by chaining modules like ‘PII Redaction → Sentiment Analysis → Executive Summary’ in one flow.

Enterprise Use Cases in Action

Banks can now parse transactional documents, assess risk, and generate reports without moving across multiple applications.

RegTech firms can automate compliance workflows with full audit trails. And customer experience teams can extract insights from feedback, classify support issues, and recommend next actions—instantly.

What’s Next

Arya.ai, an Aurionpro company, is offering early access to its APEX + MCP Sandbox. It’ll allow enterprises to experiment with module chaining, LLM configuration, and orchestration directly through a visual UI.

Whether used for automation, risk analysis, compliance, or customer support, the platform enables teams to rapidly build and test domain-wrapped AI workflows using their own data, with full control and traceability.

With MCP at the center, Arya.ai is building verifiable, compliant, and scalable intelligence—one module at a time.
