Realbotix delivers first Vinci-equipped humanoid robot to Ericsson with AI vision system

Realbotix has delivered its first humanoid robot equipped with Vinci, a patented AI vision system, to telecommunications giant Ericsson. The technology enables robots to maintain eye contact, recognize returning users, recall previous conversations and track emotional responses through in-eye cameras. Vinci allows robots to detect motion, interpret emotional cues and respond contextually whilst collecting engagement data for clients. The system provides identity tracking, behavioural analysis, emotional signal capture and long-term engagement analytics. The Toronto-listed company manufactures its humanoid robots in the United States, targeting enterprise and consumer markets. CEO Andrew Kiguel said embedding cameras within robot eyes enables natural interaction and positions Ericsson as an early adopter of the technology. Vinci can be added to any Realbotix robot model.

Aglocell's SpectraMax rApp boosts spectrum capacity up to 50% via Ericsson's AI platform

Aglocell has launched SpectraMax, an AI-driven spectral efficiency optimisation rApp integrated into the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform ecosystem. The application enables telecom operators to increase spectrum capacity by up to 50% without additional infrastructure. SpectraMax uses AI and combinatorial optimisation to dynamically direct users to optimal frequency layers and cell sites in real time. Unlike traditional load balancing, it optimises both horizontally across cell sites and vertically across spectrum layers, treating networks as unified resources. The solution delivers a 20–50% improvement in cell-edge spectral efficiency, 19% reduction in network congestion, and over $2 million in avoided capital expenditure per deployment cluster. Aglocell will showcase SpectraMax at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March.
