L&T Technology Services has introduced AgenticIQ, a comprehensive Agentic AI platform tailored for engineering and manufacturing sectors. The end-to-end system is designed to facilitate the shift from isolated AI experiments to full-scale operational deployment. It achieves this by enabling autonomous, multi-agent workflows that span product development, manufacturing and customer experience, thereby promoting widespread Engineering Intelligence adoption.

Despite rising corporate AI investments, many projects remain stalled at the pilot phase due to fragmented engineering systems and manual processes. Highly regulated environments further complicate scalability, as organisations struggle to balance autonomous operations with strict governance and security protocols. AgenticIQ directly addresses these hurdles by embedding a planning-first architecture into existing production workflows.

Built upon LTTS’ existing Engineering Intelligence portfolio, the platform converts proven capabilities into reusable, specialised AI agents that function within enterprise governance frameworks. It ensures the protection of critical data and intellectual property while supporting a new agentic delivery model. With a cloud-agnostic design, the platform serves R&D-heavy industries like automotive, healthcare and semiconductors, allowing clients to deploy solutions anywhere without losing control over proprietary knowledge and workflows.

Amit Chadha, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, L&T Technology Services, said, “The next phase of Engineering Intelligence will be defined by how effectively autonomous AI agents collaborate to solve complex industry challenges across engineering, production and customer experience. Over the years, LTTS has built AI-powered engineering solutions that address domain-specific business problems across industries. With AgenticIQ™, we are transforming these proven capabilities into reusable AI agents on a unified Agentic AI platform that enables enterprises to rapidly build, orchestrate and deploy next-generation agentic solutions at scale.”

Intangles has launched an AIS-140-certified product portfolio in India across four distinct configurations: InCert, InSight, InGenious and InVision+. The product lineup supports commercial vehicle segments ranging from three-wheelers and cabs to light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles and buses.

The portfolio integrates India's AIS-140 vehicle tracking and emergency alert requirements with predictive fleet intelligence. InCert provides certified tracking, trip management, geofencing, and driver alerts. InSight adds driver behaviour reporting, fuel consumption insights and fault codes with repair guidance. InGenious introduces predictive vehicle health monitoring, fuel management, and automated operations tools. InVision+ combines the certified hardware with AI-powered video telematics using dual cameras and in-cabin voice alerts.

All four versions run on Intangles' InRoute fleet intelligence platform. The devices are available through field sales channels and the company's direct-to-consumer platform, InCentral, which handles compatibility checks, purchases, and VLTD certificate generation.

Anup Patil, CEO, Intangles, said, "The size of a fleet should not determine whether an operator can access predictive intelligence. A vehicle off the road can significantly affect a business, whether it owns five vehicles or five hundred. With a certified device already installed and connected whenever the vehicle runs, operators should be able to choose the value it delivers to their business. Intangles’ new range brings this promise to life through #ChoiceOkPlease, giving operators the flexibility and freedom to choose a solution that meets compliance requirements and addresses their everyday operational challenges."

Affordable Robotic & Automation (ARAPL) has announced that its subsidiary ARAPL RaaS, operating under the Humro brand, has received Conditional Approval from the US Department of War for its specified autonomous industrial vehicles under the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) framework.

The approval, issued by the FCC following national security assessments, covers Humro’s Maia2000 autonomous pallet trucks and Atlas AC2000 autonomous forklifts. The decision grants the specified devices exemption from FCC Covered List restrictions, which were introduced in July 2026 for foreign-produced robotic devices.

Humro is among 13 global robotics operators, and the only Indian entity, to receive conditional authorization under the updated guidelines. The approval enables the company to enter the US material-handling market, subject to compliance with onshoring plans, local manufacturing commitments over the next two years, and equipment authorisation requirements.

Robinson Philipose, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Humro, said, "This is a significant milestone for Humro and an important validation of our technology and our commitment to building globally competitive robotics solutions. Being among the first few robotics companies worldwide to receive Conditional Approval under the revised US regulatory framework is a matter of great pride for us."

"Following the regulatory changes, our team worked relentlessly to replace certain key components that did not meet the revised guidelines. This also required us to make corresponding changes to our technology to ensure compliance. We completed the modifications, submitted our application and secured FCC approval within a remarkably short period. This demonstrates the agility and technical capabilities of our team. The approval strengthens our position as we look to expand our international footprint and take our autonomous material-handling solutions to customers in the US. We see considerable potential for robotics to transform warehouse, manufacturing and logistics operations. As part of the Conditional Approval, we are also committed to commencing manufacturing in the US in phases over the next two years. We are actively looking to partner with like-minded local players to establish our manufacturing operations in the country," Philipose.

Melind Padole, Founder and Director, ARAPL Group, said, "These are exciting times, with our teams in the US and India expanding rapidly. Securing FCC approval within such a short period demonstrates the strength of our team and the capabilities of our products. As we prepare to commence manufacturing in the US in line with FCC requirements, we have also begun working towards meeting the requirements of the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). In parallel, we are developing a new technology platform based on Vision-Language Action models. Our next-generation robots will be more human-like in their ability to perceive, understand and interact with their surroundings, and will incorporate reinforcement learning capabilities. This will enable them to learn from experience, adapt to changing environments and perform increasingly complex tasks."
