Tokyo – September 24, 2026 -- TIER IV, the developer of the open-source Autoware autonomous driving platform, has released a reference design for autonomous racing kart systems on a public GitHub repository, providing a common technical foundation used by 240 teams and roughly 600 participants in Japan's Autonomous Driving AI Challenge.

240 teams built on a shared open-source foundation during the JSAE-organized competition

The Autonomous Driving AI Challenge, organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (JSAE), ran from July to September 2026, with qualifying and final rounds using TIER IV's reference design as the baseline development platform. Final rounds took place September 19-20, 2026, combining simulation-based and real-world vehicle challenges with racing karts.

San Diego – – September 24, 2026 -- Industrious, in partnership with GANMI, is adding roughly 27,000 square feet to its Core Columbia workplace at 401 W A St in downtown San Diego, doubling the footprint to approximately 54,000 square feet. Members will gain access to the expanded space starting June 2027.

Expansion targets rising demand from defense, AI and life sciences startups

GANMI and Industrious cite sustained high occupancy at the existing location as the driver for the expansion, particularly among startups and growing companies in defense, artificial intelligence, life sciences and medical devices — sectors where San Diego has built a strong innovation cluster. The expanded space will add 305 office seats and 50 access seats.

Singapore – September 24, 2026 -- Reconova (07656.HK) unveiled its embodied AI airport robotics lineup at PTE Asia 2026 in Singapore on September 23-24, targeting a projected US$240 billion airport infrastructure investment cycle across Asia and the Middle East over the next decade, according to ACI data.

Reconova showcases baggage transfer robot and passenger processing tech to Asian airport operators

The company presented its AntOne baggage transfer robot alongside intelligent passenger processing solutions, drawing interest from airport operators and aviation stakeholders attending the inaugural Asian edition of Passenger Terminal Expo. The exhibits demonstrated Reconova's full-stack embodied intelligence architecture, spanning visual perception, cognition, reasoning, and execution, with vision foundation models and visual agents as core capabilities.

Hsinchu – September 24, 2026 -- M31 Technology and Ambiq have jointly developed a Foundation IP solution on TSMC's N12e process that cuts leakage power by approximately 50% for always-on edge AI and AIoT chips, the companies announced at the TSMC 2026 North America Open Innovation Platform Ecosystem Forum.

Joint IP stack targets tightening power and area budgets for wearables and AIoT

The solution pairs an optimized SPSRAM memory compiler with an ultra-low-leakage standard-cell library built specifically for Ambiq's chip platforms. As SoC designs add more embedded intelligence, power targets have tightened while die-size limits and tape-out schedules remain fixed, pushing designers toward foundation-level efficiency gains rather than late-stage fixes.

Boca Raton, Fla. – September 24, 2026 -- Immersive Wisdom Inc. unveiled Immersive Wisdom 5 at AFA's Air, Space & Cyber Conference, a platform update designed to unite browser-based users, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) operators and personnel on ultra-low-bandwidth, disconnected, intermittent, limited (DDIL) networks inside a single collaborative workspace.

New browser interface functions as a bridge to disconnected tactical edge users

The lightweight browser client enables low-bandwidth data access from headquarters down to forward operating locations, connecting participants with teams running Immersive Wisdom's native application in constrained COOP/PACE communications environments, including scenarios with no connectivity at all.

Washington, D.C. – September 24, 2026 -- Biman Bangladesh Airlines has signed a supplemental agreement with Boeing to add 787-10 Dreamliner and 737-8 MAX airplanes to its fleet, deepening a partnership that already spans the 787, 777 and 737 Next-Generation families.

Biman locks in fleet renewal with proven Boeing commonality

The agreement builds on Biman's existing operational base of 787, 777 and 737NG aircraft, which connect Bangladesh to hubs in the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Europe. Rumee A Hossain, chairman of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, said the order responds to specific requirements in the carrier's fleet plan and reflects confidence built through years of working with Boeing on delivery and support arrangements.

San Francisco – September 24, 2026 -- Dolby Laboratories (NYSE: DLB) and Meta (NASDAQ: META) announced an expansion of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision across Meta's device and platform ecosystem, including Meta AI glasses, Instagram, and an upcoming VR headset.

Meta AI glasses become first global consumer device to capture audio in Dolby Atmos

Unveiled at Meta Connect, Meta AI glasses allow users to record moments in Dolby Atmos and share them directly on Instagram. The rollout builds on last year's launch of Dolby Vision on Instagram, extending Dolby's immersive audio format into everyday content capture for the first time on a mass-market wearable.

Tokyo – September 24, 2026 -- Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503) has dosed the first patient in a Phase 3 study evaluating setidegrasib, an investigational KRAS G12D-targeted protein degrader, against docetaxel in previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients carrying the KRAS G12D mutation.

Trial targets patients who progressed on chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors

The randomized, open-label study will enroll approximately 356 patients across multiple countries whose locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Dual primary endpoints are progression-free survival, assessed by blinded independent central review, and overall survival.

St. Louis – September 24, 2026 -- Novaclad has released a free iOS app that measures a kitchen with an iPhone's LiDAR sensor, prices a countertop from a fabricator's own catalog, and routes the job to a local shop in about five minutes, replacing a quoting process that has traditionally taken days.

The app is the first consumer product built on Novaclad's AI-LiDAR measurement engine and marks the initial piece of the company's planned Fabrication Cloud, a network intended to connect homeowners directly to local fabricators of countertops, cabinetry, tile and millwork.
