The final of the AIRA Challenge took place for the second time at ACHEMA, the world's largest trade fair for the process industry. Through this competition, the chemical and pharmaceutical companies BASF, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim and Wacker are promoting the development of new robotics applications for their industry. This year, the five finalists demonstrated how their robots can be navigated remotely through production sites to perform various tasks such as opening doors, maintaining systems, or checking inventories.

Roboverse Reply convinced the jury with its user-friendly, scalable, and enterprise-ready solution. It operates with standard components like VR glasses, enabling users to intuitively control mobile robots, such as Boston Dynamics' Spot, through hand tracking or controllers to precisely operate their gripper arms. Additionally, users can access further information, such as measured values and site plans, to make more informed decisions. Since all data is processed within the customer's cloud infrastructure, the solution can be accessed from any location and seamlessly integrated into existing systems.

“We are proud to have won the prestigious AIRA Challenge, affirming our expertise in developing mobile robot solutions for industrial applications. In our Robotics Lab, we continuously experiment with the latest trends in Spatial Computing and Embodied AI to tackle our clients' challenges. Solutions like the Roboverse Reply’s Robotic Platform enable companies to manage unforeseen events flexibly and remotely, ensuring precise interventions and effectively preventing industrial plant downtime," says Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply

Ant International Research Highlights How Readable AI Memories Can Unlock More Personalised, Privacy-conscious Consumer Experiences2.11.2026 09:52:00 CET | Press release

Human sales and customer representatives have institutional memories to serve clients: their preferences and choices. How can we build a memory mechanism for AI services to create similarly personalised experiences? Ant International’s research on this subject recently received the Senior Area Chair (SAC) Highlight Award from the Best Paper Committee at EMNLP 2026, a leading global AI conference. Why do we need “readable AI memory”? In this paper titled 'Text as a universal interface for transferable personalisation', we look into one fact: until now, AI memory of a user has usually been generated and stored as dense numerical code only the original system can interpret. Two long-standing problems with that: First, today's user profiles are "black boxes" — opaque code locked inside a single app, so activity in one service teaches nothing to another, and every product has to re-learn you from scratch. Second, profiles are welded to the model that created them, so they don't transfer whe
