Renesas opened its Physical AI & Robotics Lab in Beijing on August 27, 2026 — a customer-facing facility where, according to Renesas, humanoid robot makers can validate and co-develop entire systems, from proof of concept to deployment. The number that matters: Renesas says it already covers about 30% of a humanoid robot's bill of materials and aims for up to 70%.

NVIDIA has announced the Jetson Orin Nano 2: reportedly double the edge-AI throughput of the Orin Nano Super, at 40% lower power for the same workload. For European teams building warehouse robots, drones and lab automation, that is the difference between an AI that barely fits on a battery and one that ships as a product.

Your Jira ticket took four hours. An AI agent produced the first version, a human rewrote half of it, and a second human fixed what both missed. Whose productivity was that?
