### AI overview

The article describes a demonstration in which Forgis uses a foundation model running on an Arduino UNO Q board to convert voice commands into robotic-arm actions. The system processes multimodal factory data and performs inference locally, enabling real-time control without a cloud round trip.

### Source excerpt

For years, bringing real intelligence to industrial automation meant expensive infrastructure, proprietary systems, and steep learning curves. That's changing - fast. Foundation models powerful enough to run at the edge are turning natural language into machine control, and the factory floor is starting to look a lot more like a conversation. AI as the new [...] The post From voice command to robotic arm: how agentic AI on the edge is changing the factory floor appeared first on Arduino Blog.
