IoT Now: Is it new services driving data traffic in automotive or richer and more data intensive developments of existing offerings? What do you see as the main services driving the uplift in traffic?André Schlufter: It’s a combination of both, but the biggest drive is coming from existing services becoming more developed, more frequently updated and more central to the vehicle experience.Infotainment is a great example. Video and audio streaming, app-based services and navigation are no longer extraneous features, they’re core to the in-car experience and expected by today’s drivers. As software-defined vehicles (SDVs) become more widespread, consumers expect the…

By Isaiah Dominguez, Director of Marketing, WiBotic As autonomy moves beyond controlled environments, ruggedized design is becoming a prerequisite for reliable robotic operations. For years, many autonomous mobile robots were designed around a simple assumption: the operating environment would remain relatively predictable. Warehouse floors were flat. Lighting was consistent. Temperatures were controlled. Connectivity was reliable. In those conditions, autonomy could thrive. Today, that assumption is rapidly changing. Robots are increasingly being deployed in environments that are far less forgiving. Distribution yards, manufacturing campuses, healthcare facilities, retail operations, construction sites, agricultural applications, and outdoor logistics workflows all present conditions that challenge…

In this article, you will learn how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes the way AI applications connect to external tools and data sources, broken down across three levels of depth. Topics we will cover include: Why connecting models to external systems without a shared standard creates an integration problem that grows with every new client or tool. How the host, client, and server work together, and what happens when a model’s request flows through an MCP server. The transport options, security risks, and deployment choices that matter once an MCP server is running in production. Introduction Every large language…

The Bitcoin Power Law, the model physicist Giovanni Santostasi has championed for over a decade, is now peer-reviewed science. The new study argues Bitcoin’s (BTC) long-term price growth follows a predictable mathematical trend rooted in network adoption. Elsevier’s journal Nonlinear Science published the study online on June 29. Analyst Benjamin Cowen quickly joined the congratulations. From Reddit Post to Peer-Reviewed Science Santostasi, a former physics professor who spent years researching gravitational waves, first sketched the idea in a 2014 Reddit post. He noticed Bitcoin’s price climbing along a strikingly straight line when plotted on logarithmic scales. For years, the theory…

Swati KhandelwalJul 01, 2026AI Coding / Vulnerability Two flaws in Cursor, an AI code editor, could let a single, ordinary-looking prompt break out of the editor’s safety sandbox and run any command on a developer’s computer. There is no click to fall for and no approval box to ignore. Cato AI Labs found the pair and named them DuneSlide. They are tracked as CVE-2026-50548 and CVE-2026-50549, both rated 9.8 out of 10 (or 9.3 under the newer CVSS 4.0 scale). The fix is already out. Both bugs are patched in Cursor 3.0, released April 2, and every version before 3.0 is affected. Cursor’s maker…

Nokia has signed a multi-year agreement with SAP to move more of its enterprise resource planning environment to SAP S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure.The agreement was concluded at the end of 2025, according to SAP. It will use the RISE with SAP Methodology, covering Nokia’s ERP processes, data, applications, and operating models.The work is part of Nokia’s existing effort to consolidate multiple ERP systems into a single SAP S/4HANA landscape. The programme covers finance, logistics, warehouse management, trade services, and order fulfilment functions.RISE with SAP is SAP’s cloud ERP transformation programme, covering methodology, migration tools, and managed services.SAP to manage S/4HANA…

For more than a decade, IoT has played an important role in capturing physical world data. Sensors, tags, and connected devices have made it possible to observe physical environments, assets, and conditions with increasing granularity. In many deployments, that data has delivered meaningful value within specific functions – improving visibility, informing decisions, and enabling more responsive operations. But as IoT adoption has matured, a clearer distinction is emerging in how these systems are designed and what they ultimately enable. There is no single, universally agreed-upon definition of “traditional IoT” versus “end-to-end IoT.” But in practical terms, the difference comes down…

On Dec. 5, 1791, Alexander Hamilton delivered a “Report on the Subject of Manufactures” to the U.S. Congress in Philadelphia. In his remarks, he stressed, “Not only the wealth, but the independence and security of a country, appear to be materially connected to the prosperity of manufactures.” Hamilton’s goal was to break Britain’s manufacturing stranglehold on the United States. This month, the U.S. is celebrating its semiquincentennial. Thanks to a variety of breakthroughs and innovations in the world of manufacturing, America today is much different than it was in the late 18th century. In honor of the country’s 250th birthday,…

In this article, you will learn five practical strategies for managing context windows in long-running AI agent applications, along with the key tradeoffs each approach introduces. Topics we will cover include: Why context windows become a critical bottleneck in agent-based AI systems designed for sustained, autonomous operation. Five distinct context management strategies: sliding windows, recursive summarization, structured state management, ephemeral context via RAG, and dynamic context routing. The inherent tradeoffs of each strategy, from memory loss and information compression to retrieval blind spots and maintenance complexity. Introduction Long-running agents are those capable of exhibiting sustained autonomous execution over time. In…
