Former Boston Dynamics and DJI executive to leverage experience scaling breakthrough robotics and Physical AI into enterprise adoption

HOUSTON, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Persona AI, an emerging  leader in humanoids being purpose-built for heavy industry, today announced the appointment of Michael Perry as Head of Commercial Strategy. The hire signals Persona’s shift toward commercial deployment, as the company builds the commercial infrastructure to bring humanoid automation to markets like shipyards, steel mills, offshore platforms, and construction sites worldwide.

Perry joins as industrial enterprises face an urgent and accelerating challenge: a structural shortage of capacity for welding, fabrication, and heavy maintenance in dynamic environments,  precisely the high-value, high-risk tasks where humanoid robots can deliver the greatest impact. His appointment comes on the heels of Persona’s agreements with both HD Hyundai and POSCO Group to advance humanoid automation in shipyards and steel manufacturing and a pilot programme with the state of Louisiana targeting active heavy-industry environments.

Perry is a seasoned robotics and automation executive with a distinguished track record in driving commercial growth, strategic partnerships, and market expansion for advanced robotics technologies. His experience across DJI, Boston Dynamics, and Dexterity AI consistently has focused on scaling promising robotic and Physical AI technology with enterprise customers.

“Now is the perfect time to join Persona AI as we rapidly close the gap between what’s possible in the lab versus what’s driving real commercial value,” said Michael Perry, Head of Commercial Strategy, Persona AI. “Building industry-hardened humanoid hardware and production-deployable AI is only one piece of the puzzle. Getting humanoids into operations for heavy industry will require the systematic commercial and operational work that makes enterprises humanoid-ready and defining the business case, solving the integration challenges, and building the playbook for safe, scalable adoption. That’s what I’m here to build.”

In his new position, Perry will focus on building Persona AI’s commercial framework, engaging strategic partners, enabling early adopters, and scaling the business’s customer engagements, including working with customers to deploy their first humanoids focused on heavy industrial tasks.

“We’re building Persona to solve real problems in some of the hardest industrial environments. Now we need someone who has taken robots from the lab to the factory floor and built the commercial engine to sustain it,” said Nicolaus Radford, CEO and Co-Founder of Persona AI. “Michael’s proven track record is exactly the experience this moment demands.”

Pulling together a team whose experience includes developing AI and robotics from some of the top companies and research institutions, Persona AI is developing humanoid robots designed to use standard industrial tools like welding torches, grinders, and power tools in human-scale environments where skilled trades work happens. The company operates across Houston and Pensacola and is backed by some of the leading investors in robotics and industrial technology.

Persona AI will be exhibiting at NVIDIA GTC 2026 at Booth #7021 from March 16–19 in San Jose, CA. Attendees can meet the team and learn more about the company’s approach to industrial humanoid deployment. To schedule a meeting, see contact information below.

Persona AI, CEO and Co-Founder, Nicolaus Radford will also appear as a speaker at SXSW 2026 in Austin, Texas, where he will share insights on the rise of humanoid robotics, physical AI, and the future of automation in real-world industrial environments.

Egg Medical Presents CRT 2026 Data Demonstrating a Responsible Path to Light Lead and Lead-Apron Free Protection

EggNest™ Enhanced Radiation Protection System Announces CRT 2026 Clinical Data

Superior Radiation Shielding in the Interventional Suite: The EggNest™ system (pictured) reduces scatter radiation exposure for the entire clinical team compared to the current standard of care. New clinical data presented as a Late-Breaking Trial at CRT 2026 confirms that the EggNest™ platform’s protects physicians, nurses, and technicians to the extent that users could do procedures safely without the use of lead aprons or wear ultralight aprons.

WASHINGTON, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Egg Medical, a leader in enhanced radiation protection devices (ERPD), today announced the results of a Late-Breaking Trial presented at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) 2026 conference. The study, presented by Santiago Garcia, MD, of The Christ Hospital, confirms that the addition of the EggNest™ system reduces levels of scatter radiation to all members of the interventional team to the extent that users could do procedures safely without the use of lead aprons or wear ultralight aprons.

“For decades, the interventional community has accepted a trade-off: protect your long-term health from the effects of radiation exposure by wearing heavy lead aprons at the cost of damaging your back and joints,” said Santiago Garcia, MD, the study’s lead presenter. “This data proves that we no longer must choose. By using the EggNest system, we can provide the entire team with protection that is superior to the status quo, by either going apron-free, or while wearing aprons that feel like a light vest. This is about ensuring that the next generation can have healthy careers without the physical toll.”

The Key Study Findings:

  • Annualized collar dose (in mrem) over lead aprons is 25.5 for the primary operator, 9.8 for assistant, and 10.2 for the nurse. When combined with ultralight aprons, total annualized body doses dropped to 1.41 for primary operator, 2.1 for assistant and 1.0 for the nurse.
  • At these levels, a clinician would have to work for an entire career to receive the same radiation dose they currently receive in just one year under the standard of care.
  • The study confirmed that whether clinicians choose to go apron-free, or wear aprons that are 55% lighter than standard lead, the entire team remained below traditional exposure levels using traditional methods.

Modern labs are not one-size-fits-all. Under the banner of “Protection Is Personal,” the company is championing a responsible approach that allows clinicians to choose whether they want to go apron free.

“Our goal is to give clinicians a choice—but one backed by rigorous, published data,” said Gavin Philipps, Chief Commercial Officer. “Choice isn’t a weakness; it’s how responsible safety programs operate. By providing personalized data through live dosimetry, the EggNest supports apron-free or ultralight apron workflows where approved, rather than forcing a specific behavior.”

Zoom expands enterprise agentic AI platform to orchestrate workflows across collaboration and customer experience

  • New innovations include expanding AI Companion 3.0 more broadly across the Zoom platform and introducing custom AI agents to orchestrate workflows in Zoom and third-party systems
  • Zoom’s system of action drives conversation to completion with new agentic workflows and CX AI features across Zoom Workplace, Phone, and CX products

LAS VEGAS, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) today announced the expansion of its enterprise agentic AI platform, introducing new workflow orchestration capabilities across Zoom Workplace, Zoom Phone, and Zoom CX. The updates extend Zoom’s system of action for modern work, enabling organizations to automate tasks, trigger cross-system workflows, and turn meetings, calls, and customer interactions into completed business outcomes.

As enterprises scale artificial intelligence initiatives, many remain limited to AI assistants that summarize conversations but rely on manual follow-through across disconnected systems. Moreover, while collaboration tools capture dialogue and systems of record store data, execution often remains fragmented. Zoom’s agentic AI platform is designed to close this gap by embedding workflow automation directly into meetings, calls, chat, and contact center interactions so conversations automatically trigger action across enterprise systems.

“The next phase of enterprise AI will be defined by the ability to move from conversation to action,” said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of Product & Engineering at Zoom. “Zoom’s agentic AI platform is designed to orchestrate action across systems, turning every meeting, call, and customer interaction into a trigger for workflow automation.”

Zoom enterprise agentic AI 3.0 platform: Key enhancements

The enhancements announced today include:

  • Custom and prebuilt AI agents with no-code orchestration
  • New third-party integrations for AI Companion, including 10 secure enterprise search connectors
  • New AI-first canvases (Zoom AI Docs, AI Sheets, and AI Slides)
  • Zoom Phone Mobile
  • SMS for Zoom Virtual Agent AI Receptionist
  • AI Expert Assist 3.0 for Zoom Contact Center
  • Natural-language customer workflow orchestration
  • Meeting security enhancements

AI Companion: Premium AI built for businesses

The Zoom AI Companion offering is significantly expanding, with AI Companion 3.0 rolling out across the Zoom Workplace app, Zoom Business Services, and Workvivo, to accelerate conversation-to-completion workflows via the 3.0 AI tech stack. Previously available only in a web browser, this powerful upgrade leverages Zoom’s expanded federated AI platform to securely connect conversations, enterprise data, and apps, and drive meaningful outcomes for organizations. The platform’s success is highlighted by the rapid growth of AI Companion Monthly Active Users, having more than tripled year-over-year in Q4 FY26.

Zoom also introduced new capabilities for its Custom AI Companion add-on, empowering organizations to build custom AI agents that act on their behalf — streamlining activities that include retrieving insights, automating tasks, and orchestrating workflows across third-party systems such as Salesforce, Slack, and ServiceNow. New Custom AI Companion capabilities include:

  • Build custom agents and workflows: Organizations can save time on repetitive tasks by leveraging prebuilt agents for Sales, IT, and Marketing, and deploy their own custom AI agents and workflows — with no coding required.
  • Connect additional enterprise data: New third-party integrations for personal workflows and agent builder, along with 10 new secure connectors for intelligent retrieval, enable users to synthesize enterprise data across applications to derive actionable insights from multiple data sources, integrating with third-party platforms such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Box, Google Drive, and OneDrive.
  • Personalization and memory: AI Companion learns from user context, such as their role, preferences, and focus areas, to deliver tailored insights and recommendations.

Teams will be able to easily convert meeting conversations and insights into structured documents, data analysis, and presentation content with the expansion of new AI canvases, Zoom AI Docs, AI Sheets, and AI Slides, which will work seamlessly within Zoom Meetings for real-time co-creation without switching tools.

Zoom also announced Zoom AI Services, a new suite of enterprise‑grade AI APIs for speech, language, reasoning, and more. These services enable developers to leverage the same transcription, translation, summarization, deep reasoning, and image‑processing technologies that power Zoom’s own products.

Zoom Workplace: Simplify and unify the workday

The next generation of Zoom Workplace, an all-in-one work platform, introduces agentic AI and a simplified interface. New features and UX updates include:

  • UX simplification: A cleaner, more consistent interface across desktop, mobile, and web, reducing friction and cognitive load. AI Companion will have its own tab, providing a central, conversational work surface for real-time queries, writing, and workflow automation.
  • Zoomie group assistant: A new team facilitator that works across Zoom Rooms, Meetings, and Chat, designed to drive better meeting outcomes by keeping teams aligned, on track, and focused on core objectives.
  • AI-first Chat: Custom agents available for use in Chat, topic-based summaries, and “For You” prioritization to surface what matters most.
  • Live voice translator: Break down language barriers with real-time audio translation for Zoom Meetings, so participants can speak in their native language while others hear the translation in their preferred language. (Available at launch in five languages, with more coming soon.)
  • Deepfake risk detection: A new advanced meeting security technology intelligently detects synthetic audio or video in meetings and provides real-time alerts.

Zoom Phone: Transform conversations into action

To enhance its offering for Zoom Phone, which supports more than 10 million seats globally, Zoom announced new capabilities that prioritize a mobile-first experience and use AI to deliver better customer engagements and automate post-call follow-ups:

  • Agentic workflows: Automatically execute tasks such as drafting emails or sending out summaries.
  • SMS for Zoom Virtual Agent AI Receptionist (formerly AI Concierge): New SMS capabilities will enable the 24/7 virtual receptionist to handle customer engagements via text, answer questions, collect information, support scheduling flows, and escalate to a human when needed.
  • Zoom Phone Mobile: A new, intuitive mobile experience lets users make business calls from their native dialer while retaining AI calling capabilities wherever work happens.
  • Customer Engagement Pack (formerly Power Pack): Expanded analytics and AI-driven insights to help customer‑facing teams stay responsive by prioritizing high‑value calls, enhancing queue visibility, and tracking performance across calls and SMS.

As a result, Zoom Phone now delivers intelligent call summaries, automated follow-ups, and real-time insights across devices.

Zoom CX and Revenue Workflows: AI-Powered Contact Center and Sales Automation

Zoom CX and Zoom Revenue Accelerator (ZRA) will soon introduce expanded agentic automation for contact center and revenue workflows, including Zoom Virtual Agent 3.0, to improve resolution speed and customer outcomes.

  • AI Expert Assist 3.0: A real-time, agentic AI layer for the contact center that acts as an active collaborator, empowering agents and supervisors with contextual guidance, intelligent orchestration, and automated task execution for faster resolutions and measurable operational efficiency.
  • CX Insights: Helps business and CX leaders ask questions about customer experience, workforce, and automation performance in natural language and receive clear, reasoned insights by analyzing interaction transcripts, operational signals, and CX metrics across a shared context.
  • Customer Workflow Orchestration: Enables organizations to design and automate customer journeys across systems, channels, and teams using natural-language workflow creation triggered by contact center events or signals from enterprise systems, such as CRM or ERP.
  • Advanced Quality Management for Zoom Virtual Agent: Provides CX leaders with deeper visibility into automated interactions, performance trends, and resolution outcomes across their entire workforce, both human and virtual agents.
  • Zoom Revenue Accelerator enhancements: New AI Sales Assist delivers real-time coaching during sales conversations by surfacing prompts, competitive insights, and next best actions directly within the call flow. Ask ZRA introduces conversational intelligence for revenue leaders, enabling natural language analysis across calls and deals.

Zoom Customer Experience continues to see accelerating, high-double-digit growth, with paid AI included in each of Zoom’s top ten CX deals this past quarter and growing competitive displacement momentum.

CGTN: Why is China’s economy holding steady? Jiangsu Province has the answer

CGTN published an article examining the resilience of China’s economy amid global uncertainties. It highlighted the role of major provinces like Jiangsu in driving high-quality growth and outlined policy efforts to boost employment, raise incomes and improve public services – all aimed at ensuring Chinese modernization delivers common prosperity for all.

BEIJING, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the global economy faces mounting uncertainties and domestic structural adjustments continue, China’s economic resilience has become a frequent topic of discussion.

As a major province that can maintain both economic dynamism and social progress, east China’s Jiangsu Province offers a glimpse into why China’s economy demonstrates resilience and vitality despite a complex external environment.

In 2025, China’s total GDP surpassed 140 trillion yuan (about $20.16 trillion). Among all provinces, Jiangsu stands out as a key pillar, contributing roughly one-tenth of the national total. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), the province’s economy crossed four successive trillion-yuan milestones, steadily expanding its scale while maintaining strong momentum.

On Thursday, while taking part in a deliberation with his fellow deputies from the delegation of Jiangsu Province at the fourth session of the 14th National People’s Congress, China’s national legislature, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that economically strong provinces must maintain solid foundations and strong resilience against external shocks, so that they can help stabilize the overall national economy.

High-quality growth, economic resilience

A defining feature of Jiangsu’s economic performance is the combination of scale and quality. Xi called on the province to continue strengthening its economic resilience by improving its internal capabilities, integrating more deeply into China’s unified national market, and expanding high-level opening up.

Manufacturing remains a central pillar. Jiangsu’s manufacturing high-quality development index has ranked first nationwide for five consecutive years, reflecting both industrial sophistication and strong innovation capacity. From advanced equipment and integrated circuits to new energy and biomedicine, the province’s industrial ecosystem has helped it remain competitive amid global supply chain adjustments.

Domestic demand is also showing vitality. A striking example is the viral popularity of the provincial football league known as the “Su Super League,” which has attracted more than 2.43 million spectators in 2025. The phenomenon illustrates how sports, culture and tourism can activate consumption and unleash the potential of the domestic market.

Meanwhile, Jiangsu remains one of China’s most open economies. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the province attracted more than $119 billion in actual foreign investment, ranking first nationwide.

By active participating in domestic and international dual circulation, Jiangsu demonstrates how China strengthens its domestic market while staying open and integrated into the global economy.

A modernization that benefits all

Economic growth alone is not the ultimate goal. As Xi emphasized during the deliberation, Chinese modernization is defined by common prosperity for all.

As Xi pointed out, it means addressing key questions: how to achieve high-quality and full employment, how to increase incomes for urban and rural residents, and how to further improve public services and social security.

Many of these concerns were addressed in the draft government work report, submitted to lawmakers for deliberation on Thursday, which outlined a range of livelihood-focused policy measures.

Employment remains a top priority. The government will expand work-for-relief programs to help people facing difficulties in finding jobs. Meanwhile, flexible workers and those in new forms of employment – such as delivery personnel and ride-hailing drivers – will gain broader access to more inclusive social security programs.

Boosting consumption and raising incomes are also key policy goals. China will implement an income growth plan for urban and rural residents, with measures aimed at increasing earnings for low-income groups, expanding property income channels, and improving remuneration and social security systems.

According to the report, a total of 250 billion yuan in ultra-long special treasury bonds will support consumer goods trade-in programs, while a special fiscal-financial coordination fund of 100 billion yuan will be created to facilitate domestic demand expansion. Policies such as promoting spring and autumn school breaks and encouraging staggered paid leave for employees are also expected to stimulate service-sector consumption and tourism.

As for public services and social security issues, the draft report said the minimum basic old-age benefits for rural and non-working urban residents will be raised by 20 yuan per month. Elderly care service vouchers will pay for seniors affected by moderate or more severe functional impairments.

In addition, the government plans to expand maternity insurance coverage, guarantee maternity leave, accelerate the development of inclusive childcare services, and introduce housing policies that better support families with two or more children.

Jelly Toast Launches in India to Simplify Everyday Celebrations

A new app from Synchronoss designed to simplify how people celebrate and share memories

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. and BANGALORE, India, March 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”), a global leader and innovator in personal cloud platforms, today announced the launch of Jelly Toast in India, a new app designed for shared celebrations and group memories.

From birthdays and weddings to Holi gatherings, college festivals, office outings, concerts, and weekend trips, Jelly Toast creates invites, collects photos, and helps groups relive shared moments in one dedicated space.

Celebrations Are Fragmented

Today’s celebrations live across too many apps.

Plans happen in messaging groups. Photos are shared in social media DMs. Albums sit in personal photo apps. Important moments are buried in chat threads or lost when phones change.

Photos get shared, but the memories stay scattered, and the story of the event often gets lost. Jelly Toast was built to solve this.

Hosts create a celebration in seconds and generate a shareable link for guests to join instantly from their browser, upload photos in real time, and contribute to a living memory stream that evolves throughout the celebration. No download or install is required for guests.

Why This Moment Matters in India

India has one of the most vibrant celebration cultures in the world. Birthdays, festivals, weddings, cricket nights, team outings, and family gatherings happen constantly across cities.

At the same time, consumers expect private and secure tools that are fast, beautiful, and effortless. Organizing event media can be chaotic, and there is no dominant platform designed specifically to bring social events and long-term memory organization together.

Jelly Toast brings simplicity to shared experiences in real time.

Pricing and Availability

Available today, Jelly Toast offers three simple options.

The Free plan supports one event with up to 5GB of storage for seven days and is designed for first-time users or intimate gatherings with close friends and family.

Event Pro is a pay-per-event option supporting 50 to 500 guests, ideal for larger celebrations and small businesses such as freelance event planners.

Memory Saver is a monthly subscription for frequent hosts who want ongoing storage and unlimited events, so their memories are always accessible.

Built on Proven Cloud Foundations

“Jelly Toast is built on the same secure and scalable cloud architecture that powers our global personal cloud platforms,” said Pat Doran, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President at Synchronoss. “We are bringing that reliability and intelligent content organization to everyday celebrations. Our goal is simple. Make it easy for people to gather, share, and keep the moments that matter.”

The platform is optimized for India’s mobile-first environment and engineered to perform reliably across varying network conditions.

A Name That Reflects the Purpose

The name Jelly Toast captures the spirit of the product. Jelly represents spontaneity, sweetness, color, and moments that stick. Toast represents togetherness, comfort, shared meals, and lasting memories. Together, they symbolize turning everyday gatherings into joyful shared experiences. Toast the moments that matter and capture them in Jelly Toast.

India Launch and Expansion

The launch begins in Bangalore, India’s technology and innovation hub. Expansion to Mumbai and Delhi is planned later in 2026. As part of its broader strategy to expand its consumer cloud footprint, Synchronoss plans to explore partnerships and integrations across the events ecosystem.

Jelly Toast is now live at www.jellytoast.app.
