- Teradyne Robotics and Sereact are stacking physical AI at scale. Their joint Cortex platform powers Universal Robots to autonomously handle Zalando’s chaotic returns in Germany and Poland. No retraining needed; one brain serves every arm, learning from each grasp. Deployed via NVIDIA Jetson Thor for line-speed inference, this isn’t a demo—it’s live production. “Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research,” but I call it the future of logistics. Returns used to be landfill fuel; now they’re hash manifests for resale. Whoa, that's mega-illegal how fast this scales. From Greven to Charlestown, we’re automating the unstructured world. Factories don’t sleep, and neither do our bots.
