Arrowfly, the parent company of The Robot Report, today launched AI for Engineers, a resource for engineers and technical leaders applying artificial intelligence in their work. Anchored by Arrowfly’s network of more than 20 engineering brands, collectively reaching 2.1 million verified industry readers, 29 million website visitors, 1.6 million email subscribers, and generating 202 million monthly impressions, AI for Engineers brings together four interconnected pillars: a dedicated News Desk, a flagship annual conference, original research, and an Advisory Board. Together, they form a platform providing practical knowledge, peer connections, and professional guidance as AI reshapes the engineering profession.

The demand is already there. More than 30,000 engineering and technical professionals have engaged with AI topics across Arrowfly’s engineering portfolio through webinars, newsletters, and editorial content. Organizations are now investing in AI across every core function, from research and development and design to automation, manufacturing operations, cybersecurity, and workforce development.

As AI adoption accelerates, the need for practical, hands-on knowledge is becoming increasingly important. AI for Engineers was built to meet that demand: a year-round destination combining rigorous editorial coverage, peer-driven applied learning, and an advisory structure accountable to practitioners.

“AI is no longer a future-state consideration for engineers. It is a present-tense operational reality across product design, manufacturing, robotics, medtech, and energy,” stated Amanda Buehner, senior vice president, sales & strategy, engineering, Arrowfly.

“What we’re hearing from engineering leaders is that the challenge isn’t whether to adopt AI. It’s how to move from experimentation to practical, repeatable applications that deliver results,” she added. “AI for Engineers is built around that need, bringing the industry together around trusted information, real-world implementation, and direct exchange between practitioners.”

Four pillars, one mission for engineers

News desk: The AI for Engineers News Desk puts specialized editors inside each engineering discipline to report on how AI is changing the work: the tools practitioners are adopting, the workflows being rebuilt, and the decisions technologists are navigating right now. Backed by more than 20 engineering brands, it is the only editorial resource built from the ground up for engineers who are already building with AI.

Live event: AI for Engineers will take place Sept. 20 to 22, 2027, at M Resort Spa Casino in Henderson, Nev., just outside Las Vegas. The three-day conference will bring together an expected 700 engineers and technical leaders to learn how AI is being designed, built, and deployed across the product and plant lifecycle.

Engineers who attend face a shared pressure: Leadership has committed to AI, budgets are moving, and the question is how to build something that works. The program will span five discipline-specific content tracks covering Engineering Design and Automation, Medical Devices and Medtech, Robotics, Energy and Electronics, and Industrial Operations and Smart Manufacturing. They will draw mechanical engineers, design engineers, CAD/CAE specialists, product development managers, R&D directors, medical device engineers, regulatory affairs professionals, clinical engineers, biomedical researchers, robotics and automation engineers, warehouse operations managers, systems integrators, manufacturing executives, and electrical engineers.

The format combines daily keynotes, editorial sessions, pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, and speaking slots, with Day 3 closing in peer-to-peer guided conversations structured around specific AI topics. A welcome reception on Day 1 and an offsite dinner on Day 2 round out the program. Attendees will leave with practical, vendor-tested AI workflows they can apply immediately.

Engineers and technical leaders can register now for AI for Engineers 2027.

Original research: The AI for Engineers research program launches the 2027 Outlook of AI, an original peer-to-peer study spanning five disciplines: AI in Engineering Design and Simulation, AI in Medical Devices and Medtech, AI in Robotics and Automation, AI in Energy and Electronics, and AI in Industrial Operations and Smart Manufacturing.

The study intends to capture how organizations are adopting AI by function, what is working, where the barriers remain, and what leaders expect by 2030. Results will be compiled into a gated report published in Q4 2026 and distributed across Arrowfly’s engineering portfolio and beyond. Engineers who complete the survey and qualify receive a complimentary pass to AI for Engineers 2027.

Advisory board: Completing the initiative is the AI for Engineers Advisory Board, a council of engineering and technical leaders shaping the standards, ethics, and best practices of AI in engineering. The Advisory Board holds the entire program accountable to the professionals it serves, ensuring that editorial coverage, conference programming, and research priorities reflect real practitioner priorities, not vendor agendas.

Solution providers and technology companies can reach AI for Engineers’ audience of 2.1 million verified professionals, spanning every discipline from mechanical and design to robotics, Medtech, energy, and industrial operations, at organizations including Amazon, NVIDIA, Boeing, Siemens, Medtronic, and Tesla.

Iván Hernández Dalas: Physical Intelligence open-sources Pi0 robotics foundation model

Image
Physical Intelligence, the San Francisco-based startup that has raised more than $400 million , has open-sourced its Pi0 robotic foundation model. Pi0 was introduced a few months ago and can be tuned to a range of tasks, including folding laundry, cleaning a table, scooping coffee beans, and more. Physical Intelligence has released the code and weights for Pi0 as part of its experimental openpi repository on GitHub. It also provides checkpoints for a few “simple tasks” on available platforms such as ALOHA and DROID, example code to run inference on real-world and simulated robot platforms, and the code for fine-tuning the base π0 model for your own tasks and platforms. The company said between 1-20 hours of data was sufficient to tune Pi0 to a variety of tasks in its own experiments. HuggingFace has also prepared a PyTorch port of openpi for those developers who prefer PyTorch over JAX. “We believe that general purpose models that can control any robot to perform any task will b...

Iván Hernández Dalas: How automation and farm robots are transforming agriculture

Image
Source: EOS Data Analytics Agriculture is becoming the most high-tech industry today. All the top-notch technologies are finding a place in the way we produce, harvest, and distribute our crops. And in all cases, farm automation and robots are not an affordable luxury, but a necessary minimum due to tackling the rising global food demand. Agricultural robots can mitigate labor shortages by automating tasks like planting, harvesting, and weeding, while also supporting sustainable practices. Combined with satellite imagery tools for data-driven farming, these innovations can make precision agriculture more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible. According to the United Nations report , by 2050, the world will need 70% more food to feed nearly 9.7 billion people. Considering this demand, farm robots and remote sensing are the cornerstone of the proper work of the supply chain. Smart machines arise for the farm Farm robots are no longer experimental concepts — they ...

Iván Hernández Dalas: 4 Show Floor Takeaways from CES 2019: Robots and Drones, Oh My!

Image
We’ve had some time to recuperate from the madness of CES, in which more than 150,000 attendees and thousands of exhibitors displayed their latest gadgets, gizmos and yes, even robots, on the CES show floor. Last week’s reporter’s notebook focused on the collection of startups around the Eureka Park area of CES, but several of the same trends were evident on the main South Hall 2 area of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where drones, robotics, AR/VR, and gaming took center stage. While most of our time was spent at CES hosting the Service Robots Arrive in Daily Life event, we did have some time during the week to visit the show floor and record observations. Here’s what we saw on the show floor, as well as some of our own individual meetings: 1. Underwater drones make a big splash On the main floor, there was no busier aerial drone booth than the DJI booth, but that is expected given the company’s dominance in the space. But once you got past that, you noticed a lot more drone co...
