With such a sense of urgency around innovation, how do companies prioritize ideas and funding to ensure solutions are sustainable and solve pressing needs?

Tech start-up Built Robotics is running trials of a fully autonomous skid-steer loader in California.

When designing virtual-reality training programs for equipment operators, Serious Labs works to simulate as much of the real-life experience as possible.

The introduction of a cloud-based, automatic, change synchronization system for composite project models captured great attention at a Bentley Systems' Year in Infrastructure conference in Singapore, and that was just the start.

A standard, industrial robotic arm has “printed” about a third of a 12-meter pedestrian bridge that is destined to span an old Amsterdam canal in the Netherlands as early as next year.

A young Boston-area start-up, ManufactOn has entered into a non-exclusive partnership with Autodesk, which plans to integrate ManufactOn's cloud and mobile software for optimizing materials and prefabrication supply-chain management with Autodesk's BIM 360 construction management platform. The partnership was announced on Sept. 18.
