Business & CultureVFA Launches PROSHARE in Vietnam | Exhibiting at VIBE 2026
Vitalify Asia (VFA) is launching PROSHARE in Vietnam. VFA will localize, sell, implement, and support the construction-site information-sharing tool, showcase it at VIBE 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City, and recruit free pre-users ahead of the official release.
AI DevelopmentAI That Reconstructs 3D Shapes from Orthographic Drawings — Using SDF to Capture the Rough Shape
We prototype an AI system that reconstructs 3D models from top, front and side views. Using SDF as a shape draft and exact coordinates from drawings, it achieved 97.1% mean IoU on 500 unseen tests, with 72.5% exact matches on box-based shapes. We also cover validation, limits and next steps.
AI DevelopmentWe Taught Robots "Sumo"—and They Mastered Lariats, Cossack Dancing, and Aerial Combat
We trained two robots to fight sumo in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and tracked their evolution from Epoch 1 to 100. The experiment explores reinforcement learning, Sim-to-Real, domain randomization, and the unexpected strategies the AI discovered—from lariats and kicks to low stances and aerial combat.
AI DevelopmentDeveloped an Agent Skill for estimating ambiguous requirements
Requirement Blueprint is an Agent Skill that helps AI analyze ambiguous customer requirements before estimation. It structures scope, features, flows, tasks, open questions, and risks while separating confirmed facts from assumptions. Benchmarks showed a 26.9% higher average score than baseline.
Digital TwinA Practical FIWARE PoC: Real-Time Temperature Data with Orion
A hands-on FIWARE Orion PoC using real temperature data from Open-Meteo. The article covers NGSI-v2 entities, Smart Data Models, Orion subscriptions, QuantumLeap, CrateDB, Grafana, Docker health checks and practical issues encountered while building an end-to-end IoT pipeline.
