2026-09-04 · demonstration · iRobot Corporation Consumer
Evidence notes The main vacuum and steam-mop robot deploys the ultra-thin companion from an autonomous mobile dock and shares a home map with it. Both robots use ClearView Pro dual-line LiDAR and PrecisionVision AI navigation. The live demonstration used existing Roomba Plus 575 Combo hardware for the companion concept, and iRobot Japan said there is no current sales plan. Date 2026-09-04

2026-09-03 · demonstration · ZenaDrone IQ Octo Aerial
Evidence notes The battery-powered octocopter is designed to carry up to 25 kilograms of liquid or seed and fly for approximately 20 to 25 minutes per charge. Its agricultural configurations use either a liquid tank with spray nozzles or a seed hopper with a spreader along programmed low-altitude flight paths. Field testing at ZenaTech's Arizona facility was expected to begin in the following weeks; solar maintenance, swarm operation and automated refilling remain planned Version 2 features.

2026-08-24 · demonstration · Hanshin Electric Railway Automotive
Evidence notes Vehicle operations are scheduled from August 31, 2026 through January 30, 2027, with public rides planned from mid-November. The programme uses a TIER IV Minibus 2.0 vehicle and involves Hanshin Bus and autonomy-technology collaborators. The project is working toward Level 4 authorization in fiscal 2027; the Aug. 24 event is the trial announcement, not Level 4 approval or an active public service. Date 2026-08-24

Evidence notes Hivemind generated 189 commands that passed NOVI’s SAFE validation over a 24-hour test window. The hybrid experiment used Sedaro simulation infrastructure to connect the live spacecraft with five virtual peers. This is a validated on-orbit autonomy demonstration, not evidence that Hivemind now operates an autonomous commercial constellation. Date 2026-08-24

Evidence notes The live-fire operation was conducted off Hawaii under the Navy Fleet Experimentation Program. The Surveyor acted on target data for a surrogate high-speed surface craft through the ARES combat system. A passive electronic-warfare sensor also detected, classified and identified a surrogate threat radar. Date 2026-08-20

Evidence notes The Surveyor acted on target data for a surrogate high-speed surface craft during the live-fire exercise near Hawaii. The team moved from concept to demonstration in six months in partnership with the U.S. Navy. A separate passive electronic-warfare test used the Surveyor with an MH-60S helicopter to detect, classify and identify a surrogate threat radar. Date 2026-08-20
