"Secretary Hegseth made it clear: We are done with the bureaucratic inertia holding back modernization,” said Telle.
“The Army is rapidly advancing to maintain our lethal edge. We are forging the U.S. Army Futures and Autonomous Systems Command to get cutting-edge technology into the hands of Soldiers, while prioritizing autonomy in our formations, our acquisitions, and our training to dominate the future of warfare.

The company announced in January the creation of new autonomous tractors, an autonomous dump truck and an autonomous electric mower. The machines use computer vision, cameras and AI to navigate their environments, according to a press release from John Deere.
Through the creation of autonomous machines, Deere hopes to address customer challenges like job quality, access to skilled labor and the "ability to get the job done at the right time," Jepsen said.

For the past ten years, we’ve built the skills of an expert pilot into our hardware and software so you can fly further, safer, and better, day or night.
It takes the most sophisticated AI and the most advanced sensors in the world to see and solve complex navigation in real time. But that’s the power of Skydio Autonomy: intuitive, perceptive, and ready for action. So you can do more of what you do best.

Stanford School of Engineering launches center for autonomous space ventures.
“The scientific community has seen tremendous success in the application of the first few generations of foundation models [outside robotics]. In general, these models have common sense and reasoning capabilities that no [non-foundation AI] models before them have,”Chris Agiaa researcher at Stanford’s Autonomous Systems Laboratory and head of one of the founding labs of CAESAR
