SAP and Cyberwave Deploy Fully Autonomous AI-Powered Robots in Live SAP Logistics Warehouse

Published

on

WALLDORF, Germany, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP), the global leader in enterprise application software, and Cyberwave, an AI robotics software company, today announced the successful deployment of fully autonomous, AI-powered robots in an active SAP logistics warehouse. Building on SAP’s strategic expansion of Physical AI capabilities announced last year, this initiative marks a major milestone: SAP is now operationalizing advanced robotics within its own facilities.

The deployment at SAP’s warehouse in St. Leon-Rot, Germany-operated on SAP Logistics Management (LGM), SAP’s cloud-native logistics execution solution-demonstrates that Physical AI is no longer a research concept. It is delivering measurable throughput improvements today, with robots performing box folding, packaging, and shipping fulfillment tasks fully autonomously.

About the Integration

SAP LGM’s lean, API-first architecture-which drew significant attention at LogiMAT 2026 for its rapid implementation and standardized processes-provides the ideal foundation for robotic automation. Tasks are translated into precise robot commands through the SAP Embodied AI Service, enabling end-to-end integration via SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and the Cyberwave platform in a matter of minutes.

“By integrating AI-powered robotics directly into our live warehouse operations, we are proving that Physical AI is no longer a concept—it’s delivering real value today. At our St. Leon-Rot warehouse, SAP LGM provides the digital backbone that allows robots to be deployed quickly, operate reliably, and scale with our processes. This is a decisive step toward more resilient and efficient logistics operations.” – Tim Kuebler, Head of Warehouse & Shipping, SAP

Why Logistics Robotics Is Hard-and How Cyberwave Solves It

Logistics environments are among the most challenging settings for robotics. Robots must handle diverse and irregularly shaped objects, fold and pack boxes, move packages, apply labels, and process shipping orders-tasks that vary constantly in objects, layouts, and conditions. Traditional robotic systems require painstaking hand-coding for each task variation and often break down when real-world conditions shift.

Cyberwave has developed the first platform purpose-built to solve this challenge end-to-end. At its core, Cyberwave enables operators to:

Collect training data rapidly using intuitive demonstration interfaces, capturing the task variability that exists in real warehouse environmentsFine-tune Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) models on that data, producing robot policies that generalize across object types, orientations, and workflow variations-not just memorize scripted motionsDeploy and run those models on physical robots with real-time feedback loops that allow continuous refinement as conditions evolve

The result: robots that can actually perform high-variability tasks in dynamic environments. Whereas conventional systems require weeks of engineering per task, Cyberwave’s approach reduces training time from weeks to hours. Non-expert operators can teach robots new tasks through simple demonstrations, and the system automatically adapts to variations in objects, environments, and workflows.

“Partnering with SAP on a live warehouse deployment is a defining moment-not just for Cyberwave, but for what AI-powered robotics can actually deliver in enterprise logistics today. What makes this possible is the combination of SAP LGM’s robust digital backbone and Cyberwave’s ability to collect real-world training data and fine-tune VLA and RL models that generalize across the variability you find in any real warehouse. Robots no longer need to be painstakingly programmed for every object or scenario-they learn, adapt, and keep improving. That’s the shift we’ve been building toward.”

– Simone Di Somma, Co-Founder and CEO, Cyberwave

Results

At SAP’s St. Leon-Rot warehouse, robots trained and deployed on the Cyberwave platform are now performing box folding, packaging, and in-house shipping fulfillment fully autonomously-freeing human workers from repetitive, physically demanding tasks and increasing warehouse throughput. The entire integration, from robot training to live operation, was completed using SAP BTP and the Cyberwave platform.

SAP continues to advance its Embodied AI capabilities, delivering value to customers while optimizing its own operations as a reference implementation.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
