FANUC America announced in a press release that it will demonstrate robotics, Physical AI, CNC systems, and digital twin tools at IMTS 2026. Its exhibits in Booth 338900 will include technology developed with Google Cloud, NVIDIA, and Amazon Web Services.

The demonstrations will feature AI agents that interpret handwritten instructions and direct robots. FANUC will also show natural language robot programming through CRX Vibe Coding, AI assisted connector assembly and bolt tightening, CNC toolpath and program generation, and autonomous recovery from machining failures.

Digital twin exhibits will include CNC Reflection Studio, CNC Guide 2, Surface Estimation, Tool Path Optimizer, and Smart Digital Twin Manager. NVIDIA Isaac Sim will connect with FANUC ROBOGUIDE for robotic spot welding simulation.

FANUC will also present the portable CRX-3iA collaborative robot, which has a 3 kg payload and weighs 11 kg. The new R-50iA Compact DC Controller supports 24V to 48V battery power for CRX robots mounted on autonomous mobile robots.

Whitepaper

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
