This AI company isn’t trying to compete with Tesla. It's pioneering something different: human-like robots designed to talk, interact, and serve people in everyday spaces—from concierge desks to senior homes.
It’s a niche many overlook—but one with a projected $7 trillion total addressable market.
Valued around $200 million, this firm already has pilots in the field, a working product line, and attention from Netflix and Joe Rogan. And with plans to uplist soon, visibility is about to surge.

Autonomous Vehicles
More Cities, No Drivers: Waymo Gets the OK to Expand

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is pushing forward in the race for autonomous mobility after California regulators approved expanding its Waymo robotaxi service into San Jose and the broader South Bay region.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved Waymo’s updated Passenger Safety Plan. This approval clears the way for commercial driverless rides in a larger area of the Bay Area, though Waymo says the rollout will happen gradually.
This expansion builds on Waymo’s existing operations in San Francisco and reflects Alphabet’s steady effort to grow its autonomous transportation network in key urban markets. San Jose, often called the Capital of Silicon Valley, offers a strong test bed with dense traffic patterns and a tech-savvy population.
Waymo already delivers over 250,000 paid autonomous rides per week in the U.S. The company also explores use cases beyond ride-hailing, including a recently announced collaboration with Toyota to test autonomous tech in personally owned vehicles.
The strategic expansion shows that Alphabet is committed to long-term investments in next-generation mobility. While not yet a core revenue engine, Waymo’s steady progress positions Alphabet to lead as regulation shifts and adoption grows.

Enterprise Tech
Dell Doubles Down on AI Hardware, Targets Data Centers and Edge Devices

Dell Technologies has launched a major refresh of its AI Factory platform, rolling out new hardware and software to facilitate enterprises' adoption of artificial intelligence.
The update deepens Dell’s collaboration with NVIDIA on server infrastructure and brings Qualcomm into the mix with its AI-powered PC chips. New PowerEdge servers support up to 256 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs per rack, promising faster AI training and better efficiency.
Dell is also moving AI to the edge with a new laptop powered by Qualcomm’s discrete AI chip, enabling tasks typically requiring the cloud to run locally. The system supports large models like LLMs and is aimed at enterprise use.
This AI push positions Dell well in the growing AI infrastructure race, especially as companies seek hybrid solutions across data centers, cloud, and devices.
Cooling innovations and storage upgrades also highlight Dell’s focus on energy efficiency and real-time data handling. On the software side, Dell introduced “Project Lightning,” which significantly improves data throughput for AI workloads.
For the enterprise market, Dell’s latest launch signals a push to become a full-stack AI provider at scale from on-premise systems to edge computing.

AMD Sells Server Manufacturing Arm in $3B Deal, Focuses on AI Design

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) has agreed to sell ZT Systems’ server-manufacturing business to Sanmina for $3 billion. This move is part of a plan to focus on AI infrastructure design narrowly.
The agreement includes $2.25 billion in cash, a $300 million mix of cash and equity, and up to $450 million based on future performance. Pending regulatory approval, it’s expected to close by year-end.
This follows AMD’s $4.9 billion acquisition of ZT Systems last year, including server manufacturing and rack-scale AI design. With this divestiture, AMD will retain control of ZT’s AI infrastructure solutions while offloading the physical server production arm.
These shifts will allow AMD to concentrate on higher-value AI system design and move away from lower-margin hardware assembly. They will also sharpen their positioning in the cloud AI market by making Sanmina a preferred partner for new product introductions.
This deal reinforces AMD’s intent to become a top-tier supplier in enterprise and hyper-scale AI computing, not just a chipmaker but a full-stack enabler for next-gen infrastructure.

Recent Tech Movers
Credo Technology Group (NASDAQ: CRDO) is on a strong upward trajectory, gaining 70%+ over the past month despite being 12% down on the year - but its upcoming earnings report (June 2nd) may be just the ticket to keep the rally moving. Credo’s semiconductor offerings have long been seen as a discount version of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) higher-end products, but as data centers scale and prices rise, don’t overlook the potential customers see in cost savings from Credo.
Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK) is enjoying a slew of analyst upgrades over the past few months, with the most recent coming from Cantor Fitzgerald, which issued the cloud computing and cybersecurity stock an Overweight rating. Analysts cite Rubrik’s new identity management suite as a significant growth factor, considering the proliferation of AI and bot accounts driving increased anti-fraud demand.
Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is bringing its Internet of Things fleet safety initiatives into the waste management industry after inking a major deal with WasteVision AI. As we’ll see in a moment, there’s a lot of money floating in the ether for automating “boring but big” businesses with AI and next-gen tech - and Samsara is at the leading edge of bridging the gap between the two.

Don’t Overlook This Tech Stock
QXO (NYSE: QXO) is bridging the gap between the “boring business” value segment and high-tech advantages as it seeks to “[create] the modern operating system for building materials."
Following last month’s acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply for $11 billion, CEO Brad Jacobs is set on disrupting the traditionally low-tech building product distribution industry, making it a first mover in the (largely ignored) $800 billion market.
QXO’s Beacon acquisition marks a pivot point for the firm as it begins emphasizing an automated logistics, AI-driven approach to building material management after Jacobs formed the firm in 2023 via acquisition of software firm SilverSun (QXO’s history before and during the buyout is an entertaining story in and of itself, and worth looking into).
As such, QXO hasn’t yet “proven” its operational model, but Jacobs’ history with XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) and United Rentals (NYSE: URI) means that a proven leader in logistics is at the helm, which bodes well for QXO’s prospects.
