Archer, led by industrialist Brett Adcock, delivers its first Midnight aircraft to the United States Air Force. The United States Air Force often serves in places that don’t have roads, rails or even runways—making Midnight a strong potential asset for their deployment. This delivery comes after the United States Department of Defense's acceptance of Midnight’s military airworthiness assessment, a critical approval that confirms Midnight’s readiness for flight testing by AFWERX.

PORTCO PROGRESS #BuildRobots #ShipProduct #ChangeTheWorld Figure
The BMW Group is exploring the use of humanoid robots in production for the first time. During a trial run lasting two weeks at Plant Spartanburg, a humanoid robot from AI robotics company Figure successfully completed production tasks in the body shop. The robot, named Figure 02, inserted sheet metal parts into specific fixtures, which were then assembled as part of the chassis. Figure 02 is the highest-performing humanoid robot to market, says Figure. Together with Figure, the BMW Group is testing and evaluating how humanoid robots can be used safely in automobile production. Working with robots and autonomous equipment is not new to BMW. We are always exploring the latest technology to make our processes more efficient, more ergonomic, and safer for our associates. Companies that invest in innovation such as this are more sustainable, become more productive, and have a competitive advantage. We need the right tools for our future, and this is just one in our toolbox that can be used. #BMWManufacturing #BMWGroup #PlantSpartanburg #Innovation
