Built for challenging industrial environments, the autonomous inspection robot operates reliably where GPS signals are unavailable or unreliable. Using advanced 3D LiDAR simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), it continuously builds high-precision digital maps, navigates autonomously, dynamically avoids obstacles and optimizes inspection routes in real time. These capabilities enable deployment across factories, warehouses, ports, utilities, tunnels and other mission-critical environments.

The solution integrates AI perception, real-time anomaly detection, intelligent path planning and autonomous navigation on a single platform. Powered by AMD embedded AI processing technology, it delivers up to 50 TOPS of AI performance while supporting AI-driven inspection, thermal and visual analytics, 3D LiDAR mapping and dependable operation in GPS-denied environments.

“Physical AI represents the next evolution of artificial intelligence—one where intelligent systems can perceive, reason and act autonomously in the real world,” said Arthur Chung, Vice President, Sales & Supplier Management, Avnet Asia. “Through our collaboration with Weston Robot, we are bringing together advanced computing, edge AI and robotics to help organizations scale industrial intelligence, strengthen safety and improve operational resilience. As organizations move beyond AI experimentation, intelligent autonomous systems will become an essential part of smarter, safer and more efficient industrial operations.”

“Industrial environments generate enormous volumes of operational data, yet many inspection processes remain manual, reactive and resource-intensive,” said Dr. Zhang Yanliang, Chief Scientist, Weston Robot. “By combining robotics, AI and edge computing, we are enabling a new generation of intelligent systems that continuously monitor critical infrastructure, detect anomalies earlier and deliver actionable insights in real time. We believe Physical AI will become a foundational technology powering the next generation of industrial operations.”

As organizations continue to invest in intelligent automation, the collaboration between Avnet and Weston Robot demonstrates the growing convergence of robotics, edge computing and artificial intelligence. Together, the companies are helping customers move Physical AI from concept to deployment, enabling intelligent systems that can continuously observe, understand and act autonomously across real-world industrial environments.

DHAKA, Bangladesh, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On Aug. 1, the 2026 TAILG Bangladesh Dealers Conference was successfully held at ICCB(International Convention City Bashundhara) in Dhaka under the theme “TOGETHER GO FURTHER. TOGETHER WE WIN.”

Lin Peng, TAILG South Asia Regional Director, members of EDiSON Group’s core management team, and more than 300 local dealers, partners and media guests attended the event to discuss opportunities in Bangladesh’s electric two-wheeler market.

The conference featured core technology showcases, localized product launches, channel policy updates, strategic partnership signings and recognition of outstanding dealers. These sessions highlighted TAILG’s product strength and local operating capabilities, while reinforcing its commitment to expanding in South Asia and deepening localization in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has strong demand for two-wheeled mobility across commuting, cargo transport and commercial delivery. Rising fuel costs, growing urban traffic pressure and increasing interest in greener transportation are creating new opportunities for electric two-wheelers.

By

SINGAPORE, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As people live longer and chronic conditions become increasingly common, managing health has quietly become more complex than ever before. Consumers now juggle medical reports, health screenings, wearable devices, medications and advice from multiple providers, yet much of this information remains fragmented and difficult to understand. At the same time, healthcare providers face growing administrative burdens as they manage expanding volumes of patient data alongside rising demand for care.

Singapore health tech company Genie Health launched two AI-driven solutions:

1. Genie – a personal health guide that helps people organise, understand and manage their health.

2. Genie SmartCare, a provider-focused agentic AI platform designed to transform patient engagement and health information into meaningful intelligence.

Together, Genie and Genie SmartCare combine to form a two-sided health intelligence platform, built for Singapore. By connecting consumers and healthcare providers, they transform fragmented health information into meaningful intelligence—helping people better understand their health while enabling providers to deliver more personalised, efficient care.

From Health Data to Health Intelligence

Genie Health is built on a simple belief: health data is only valuable when it helps people make better decisions.

For consumers
For consumers, Genie is a personal health guide. It consolidates medical reports, wearable data, and family history into a single, secure health locker. By identifying meaningful trends and answering personalized questions, it proactively guides members on their daily health journey.

For healthcare providers
For healthcare providers, SmartCare transforms fragmented patient information into actionable clinical intelligence. By automating patient engagement, interpreting reports, and generating clinical summaries, it significantly reduces administrative workflows, allowing healthcare teams to spend more time on patient care.

Connecting Both Sides of Healthcare

Most digital health products focus on either consumers or healthcare providers. Genie Health believes the greatest opportunity lies in connecting both sides of the healthcare ecosystem.

By combining persistent consumer health profiles with intelligent provider workflows, the platform aims to improve continuity of care, reduce administrative burden and enable more personalised healthcare experiences over time.

“People don’t need more health data. They need help understanding it and knowing what changes they can make to improve their health,” said Hari V. Krishnan, Co-founder and CEO of Genie Health.

“Every day, consumers collect more information about their health while providers spend more time managing it. Our goal is to transform fragmented health information into meaningful intelligence that helps people make better decisions and enables clinicians to deliver better care.”

Built for Singapore

Genie Health has been developed and tested in collaboration with Singapore consumers and healthcare providers over the past year, resulting in a platform designed specifically for the needs of Singapore’s healthcare ecosystem.

The company believes that moving healthcare beyond episodic interactions towards continuous, personalised health guidance represents one of the most important opportunities for AI in healthcare. By maintaining a persistent health profile that evolves over time, Genie aims to help people become more proactive about their health while giving providers richer context to support better clinical decisions.

The Genie app is now available free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in Singapore, while Genie SmartCare is available to healthcare providers across Singapore.
