    Warehouse robot uses AI to play real-life Tetris to handle more than ever before

    In a groundbreaking development for warehouse automation, Ambi Robotics just launched AmbiStack, a multipurpose robotic system that promises to transform the way items are stacked onto pallets and into containers. 

    This innovative solution tackles a fundamental challenge in logistics: maximizing space utilization and reducing shipping costs.

    The AmbiStack advantage

    AmbiStack operates like a real-world 3D Tetris game, expertly arranging items to optimize space in containers and pallets. By minimizing wasted space, warehouses can significantly reduce shipping costs and improve overall efficiency.

    “Logistics companies are under continuous pressure to deliver items faster and for lower cost, which puts a lot of strain on operations to maintain reliability while rapidly adapting for the future,” Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics, also tells CyberGuy. 

    “AmbiStack can be rapidly configured to automate the repetitive motions involved in a huge variety of stacking and palletizing applications, driving greater accuracy and efficiency, while future-proofing warehouse operations.”

    Powered by PRIME-1: AI at its core

    The rapid development and deployment of AmbiStack was made possible by PRIME-1, Ambi Robotics’ new artificial intelligence foundation model for warehouse robots. This advanced AI enables AmbiStack to begin working efficiently from day one in production environments.

    Ken Goldberg, co-founder and chief scientist at Ambi Robotics, tells CyberGuy, “The engineering team at Ambi Robotics used 4 years of proprietary warehouse data to train a state-of-the-art generative model for 3D warehouse operations; their experiments with real production systems confirm that PRIME-1 significantly outperforms their previous systems.”

    Why AmbiStack matters

    Cost reduction and efficiency: AmbiStack addresses the pressing need for automated solutions that cut labor costs, reduce manual inefficiencies and tackle accuracy challenges.

    Ergonomic improvements: The system alleviates the physical strain on workers by handling heavy lifting tasks.

    Adaptive intelligence: Trained using Sim2Real reinforcement learning, AmbiStack can make real-time decisions, adapting to various scenarios and delivering a faster return on investment.

    Tackling complex tasks: Stacking presents more challenges than sorting, making AmbiStack a significant advancement in robotic capabilities.

    The AmbiStack process

    AmbiStack utilizes advanced vision systems and AI models trained on extensive data from parcel sorting experiences. The robot learns in a virtual environment, earning higher scores for better stacking performance with random items.

    Jeff Mahler, co-founder and CTO of Ambi Robotics, tells CyberGuy, “AmbiStack represents an evolution of our AI-powered robotics, building on our technology in physical AI to add stacking as a fundamental new robot skill in AmbiOS. We’ve started the AI flywheel for stacking with Sim2Real reinforcement learning and performance will only improve as robots collect data from production environments. We are committed to advancing this capability to provide reliable systems that deliver a strong ROI for our customers.”

  • Mexico scrambles to build tents to handle mass deportations from US

    Mexico scrambles to build tents to handle mass deportations from US

    The Mexican government is building large encampments in Ciudad Juárez to receive an expected influx of Mexicans returned to their native country by President Donald Trump’s promised mass deportations.

    Tent shelters in Ciudad Juárez are made to temporarily house thousands of people and will be prepared in just a few days, city official Enrique Licon told Reuters.

    “It’s unprecedented,” Licon said Tuesday of Mexico’s plan to build shelter and reception centers in nine cities south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

    Authorities at the site will reportedly provide deported Mexicans with food, temporary housing, medical care and assistance in obtaining identity documents, Reuters reported.

    TRUMP’S ICE RACKS UP HUNDREDS OF ARRESTS, INCLUDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRESTED FOR HORROR CRIMES

    The government will also provide transportation for Mexican nationals to return to their hometowns.

    Trump campaigned on launching the largest mass deportations of illegal immigrants in U.S. history and began that effort after assuming office on Monday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already made more than 460 arrests, targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records, including for violent crimes. 

    Information obtained by Fox News Digital shows that between midnight Jan. 21 and 9 a.m. on Jan, 22, a 33-hour period, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrested more than 460 illegal immigrants whose criminal histories include sexual assault, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, drugs and weapons offenses, resisting arrest and domestic violence.

    Agents arrested nationals from a slew of countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal and Venezuela.

    Arrests took place across the U.S. including Illinois, Utah, California, Minnesota, New York, Florida and Maryland. 

    Nearly five million Mexicans are living in the United States without authorization, according to an analysis by Mexican think tank El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (COLEF) based on recent U.S. census data.

    Many are from parts of central and southern Mexico wracked by violence and poverty. Some 800,000 illegally present Mexicans in the United States are from Michoacan, Guerrero and Chiapas, according to the COLEF study, where fierce battles between organized crime groups have forced thousands to flee in recent years, sometimes leaving whole towns abandoned.

    Trump has swiftly restarted policies aimed to halt the flow of migrants into the U.S. that former President Biden had ended. On Monday, the Trump administration ended the CBP One app program, which allowed migrants waiting in Mexico to schedule an appointment to enter the U.S. legally. Then on Tuesday, Trump reinstated Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), a requirement that non-Mexican asylum seekers wait in Mexico until their cases are resolved.

    Immigration activists worry that Trump’s strict immigration policies will overwhelm Mexico with deportees, but the government insists it is prepared.

    “Mexico will do everything necessary to care for its compatriots, and will allocate whatever is necessary to receive those who are repatriated,” Mexico’s Interior Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez said on Monday at a press conference, according to Reuters.
