Shenzhen – September 07, 2026 -- Pudu Robotics launched the PUDU GT Series, a lineup of three commercial robotic mowers built for professional grounds and turf maintenance, with a global debut set for GaLaBau 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, from September 15-18.

The series comprises the GT3, GT5 and GT7, each engineered for a distinct commercial use case: fragmented business properties, large-scale turf operations, and precision golf and sports-field cutting.

PUDU GT3 combines mowing and sweeping for fragmented commercial properties

The GT3 is a compact 91 cm (36-inch) unit aimed at facility management and grounds teams handling irregular layouts such as business parks, university campuses and hospitals. It merges grass cutting, clipping collection and light debris removal with paved-area sweeping via integrated disc brushes, cutting the need to switch equipment for daily maintenance.

San Francisco – September 03, 2026 -- Outmarket AI has launched an expanded Employee Benefits module designed to automate the full administrative workflow cycle for insurance brokerages, converting raw carrier documents, census files, and bills into structured, ready-to-use outputs.

Platform extracts data from carrier documents to eliminate manual VLOOKUPs and hand-formatting

The AI-native module allows agents to upload plan documents in any format—PDF, Word, or Excel—from any carrier to automatically build side-by-side plan comparisons covering medical, vision, dental, ancillary, and Rx tiers. Brokers can feed plan documents from up to 10 carriers alongside a census file to generate cost comparisons, run contribution scenarios, and calculate affordability.
