  • Augmentus Raises $11M to Scale Physical AI for High-Mix, Complex Robotic Surface Finishing and Welding

    Augmentus Raises $11M to Scale Physical AI for High-Mix, Complex Robotic Surface Finishing and Welding

    SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / Augmentus, the developer of an intelligent no-code robotics solution, announced today that it has raised USD $11 million (SGD $14 million) in a Series A+ funding round. The funds will be used to accelerate regional deployment of its fully autonomous robotic surface finishing and welding systems, fulfill demand from marquee manufacturing customers, and advance R&D into hyper-adaptive, AI-driven robotic systems built for the factory floor.

    The round was led by Woori VP, with participation from new investor EDBI, alongside returning backers Sierra Ventures and Cocoon Capital.

    Figure 1: Augmentus Founders. From left to right – Chong Voon Foo, Leong Yong Shin, Daryl Lim.

    “We’re seeing unprecedented demand-and this round enables us to deliver. It allows us to fulfill our growing backlog while accelerating R&D into hyper-adaptive robotics that can perceive and respond on the fly, even in chaotic, high-mix environments where no two parts are alike. These are the hardest problems in automation-surface finishing, material removal, welding-and we’re solving them at scale,” said Daryl Lim, Co-founder and CEO of Augmentus. “With world-class partners across Asia, the U.S., and Europe, we’re not just building robotic software – we’re building the future of intelligent manufacturing.”

    Solving the Core Bottleneck in Manufacturing Automation

    Despite growing interest in robotics, most manufacturers are held back by the same challenge: programming remains complex, time-consuming, and rigid-especially in high-mix, low-volume environments.

    Augmentus directly addresses this bottleneck. Acting as both the eyes and the brain of the robot, its system eliminates the need for manual coding by combining industrial 3D scanning, AI-driven path planning, and adaptive motion control. Robot programs are generated in minutes, not days-enabling manufacturers to automate even the most variable, geometry-sensitive tasks without the need for robotics experts or production downtime.

    “We’re not here to add another buzzword to the mix,” Lim added. “We’re here to deliver working systems that solve real problems-and that’s what this funding allows us to scale.”

    Figures 2 and 3 (Left to Right): Augmentus’ vision system capturing the geometry of a complex airplane wing workpiece using high-precision 3D scanning. The scanned data is then processed through the AutoPath™ software, enabling operators to automatically generate accurate toolpaths without coding – dramatically reducing programming time and eliminating manual teach-in.

    Scaling with End Users and Integrators

    With over 50 systems sold across more than 6 countries-including Australia, Singapore, North America, and Germany-Augmentus is now focused on scaling execution capacity and delivery. This next phase of growth will be driven by a two-pronged approach: direct engagement with end clients, and a growing network of trusted system integrators. Both play a critical role in extending reach, enabling local support, and embedding Augmentus’ solution into existing production workflows.

    Figure 4: At our Texas Experience Center, the Augmentus team prepares demos to help manufacturers explore no-code automation up close.

    “Collaborating with Augmentus has enabled us to bring a new level of flexibility and reliability to shot peening automation. Their 3D scanning and AI-powered path planning technology complements our expertise in shot peening, resulting in systems that are easier to deploy, faster to set up, and capable of handling a wide variety of parts with confidence. Throughout our partnership, Augmentus has demonstrated a strong commitment to practical innovation and shared knowledge, helping us deliver advanced automation solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Volker Schneidau, Managing Director of sentenso GmbH, an Augmentus system integrator partner.

    Figure 5: Augmentus and system integrator, sentenso GmbH, collaborating on-site as part of a joint deployment. Strategic partnerships like this play a key role in enabling scalable, localized delivery and support across diverse manufacturing environments.

    The new capital will also support regional expansion across APAC and North America, while ensuring that booked systems for existing customers are delivered on time, at scale, and with full support infrastructure.

    Building the Next Generation of Adaptive Automation with Augmented Robotics

    With this raise, Augmentus will accelerate development of Augmented Robotics-a new class of hyper-adaptive systems capable of real-time adjustment to part variation, orientation shifts, and dynamic in-process feedback. These capabilities are essential for realizing the vision of closed-loop, autonomous manufacturing.

    AI is not a buzzword in this context-it’s the core intelligence layer powering motion adaptation, process optimization, and flexible deployment across high-mix, path-sensitive operations. By combining industrial 3D scanning, AI path planning, and adaptive motion control, Augmentus is enabling robots to handle complexity that once required human intuition.

    From Concept to Commercial Reality

    Figure 6: An Augmentus engineer deploying the solution on-site at a customer’s facility. The intuitive, no-code interface enables rapid setup and programming directly in real-world production environments – minimizing downtime and accelerating automation rollout.

    While much of the robotics space remains in the pilot phase, Augmentus has moved into full-scale commercial deployment. Its solution has helped manufacturers cut programming time by up to 90%, reduce robot downtime from hours to minutes, and significantly lower the barrier to automation for non-technical teams. This shift enables manufacturers to realize faster ROI, particularly in industries where high product variability has historically made automation unviable.

    About Augmentus

    Augmentus enables manufacturers to automate complex industrial processes without coding or robotics expertise. Its intelligent, no-code solution integrates 3D scanning, automatic toolpath generation, and adaptive robotic motion-making automation faster, easier, and significantly more flexible across a wide range of applications. The company’s Scan-to-Path technology is currently deployed in over 6 countries across sectors including aerospace, heavy industry, precision manufacturing, and automotive.

  • Crypto Tax Enforcement Is Back – Clear Start Tax Urges Traders to Avoid Costly Mistakes and Stay Compliant

    Crypto Tax Enforcement Is Back – Clear Start Tax Urges Traders to Avoid Costly Mistakes and Stay Compliant

    IRS letters targeting digital asset holders are on the rise – Clear Start Tax outlines what crypto traders need to know to protect themselves.

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / With the IRS once again sending out crypto-related warning letters, Clear Start Tax is urging digital asset holders to take their reporting obligations seriously. As part of a renewed enforcement push, the IRS is identifying taxpayers who failed to report crypto income and warning them to amend their returns or face possible penalties.

    “Many people still assume crypto is anonymous or invisible to the IRS,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “But with new reporting tools, exchange partnerships, and blockchain tracing technology, that’s just not true anymore. The IRS knows more than most traders think – and they’re acting on it.”

    Why the IRS Is Targeting Crypto Again in 2025

    In 2023 and 2024, the IRS expanded its crypto enforcement tools and increased partnerships with major exchanges. Now, in 2025, those efforts are bearing fruit. Taxpayers are receiving IRS Letter 6173, CP2000 notices, and other correspondence regarding unreported or underreported digital currency transactions.

    According to Clear Start Tax, traders may be at risk if they:

    • Failed to report crypto sales or conversions on past returns

    • Didn’t include staking or mining income

    • Used offshore or non-U.S. exchanges without disclosing activity

    • Claimed incorrect losses or neglected basis tracking

    “These letters aren’t random,” added the Head of Client Solutions. “They’re usually based on real data from exchanges or blockchain analysis. Ignoring them can trigger audits, penalties, or even criminal investigation if the IRS suspects willful evasion.”

    Common Crypto Filing Mistakes to Avoid

    Even honest filers make errors when it comes to crypto, often because the rules feel unclear. Clear Start Tax highlights some of the most common mistakes that can lead to trouble:

    • Not reporting transactions under $10,000 – The IRS requires reporting of all taxable events, no matter the size.

    • Using wallet balances instead of transaction history – Gains must be calculated from a cost basis, not just ending value.

    • Omitting airdrops or hard forks – These are generally considered taxable income, even if the recipient didn’t request them.

    • Mixing personal and business use wallets – Without proper record-keeping, deductions and expenses can be disallowed.

    • Failing to file FBAR or Form 8938 – For foreign exchanges, these additional disclosures may apply.

    Crypto Traders Can Still Qualify for IRS Relief Programs

    Clear Start Tax helps clients file amended returns, respond to crypto notices, and regain IRS compliance. Many investors may still be eligible for penalty relief, interest reduction, or settlement options under the IRS Fresh Start Program.

    By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

    This program can be a lifeline for crypto traders looking to fix past mistakes and avoid escalating consequences.

    What to Do If You Received a Crypto Letter From the IRS

    Traders who’ve received IRS notices like CP2000, Letter 6173, or Letter 6174 should respond quickly. These letters typically flag a discrepancy in reported income and give taxpayers a chance to amend returns or explain the issue.

    Clear Start Tax advises:

    • Don’t ignore the letter – even if you think it’s incorrect

    • Gather exchange records and transaction logs

    • Check for cost-basis errors or missing taxable events

    • File amended returns if needed

    • Consult a professional to ensure proper reporting and penalty mitigation

    Don’t Wait for the IRS to Take Action

    Clear Start Tax helps crypto investors respond to IRS notices, amend past filings, and bring their accounts into full compliance. In many cases, clients may still qualify for relief through the IRS Fresh Start Program or other negotiated settlements.

    About Clear Start Tax

    Clear Start Tax is a full-service tax liability resolution firm that serves taxpayers throughout the United States. The company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with a wide range of IRS and state tax issues, including back taxes, wage garnishment relief, IRS appeals, and offers in compromise.

  • Ahead of World IVF Day, HRC Fertility Launches Innovative Clinical Trial with Gameto for More Approachable IVF

    Ahead of World IVF Day, HRC Fertility Launches Innovative Clinical Trial with Gameto for More Approachable IVF

    LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / HRC Fertility is proud to announce its participation in a groundbreaking clinical trial evaluating Fertilo, an investigational approach to in vitro maturation (IVM) developed by biotechnology innovator Gameto. Fertilo aims to notably reduce the physical, emotional, and financial burden of traditional IVF and egg freezing by maturing eggs outside the body using lab ovarian support cells. This study will compare Fertilo to current in vitro maturation methods, focusing on outcomes like egg quality and pregnancy rates.

    The clinical trial reflects HRC Fertility’s ongoing mission to make fertility care more accessible while delivering high level treatment to patients. As a recognized leader in reproductive medicine, HRC Fertility remains dedicated to advancing innovative solutions that support improvement in outcomes and patient experience.

    Unlike conventional IVF, which albeit modern in its approach, nonetheless can require two weeks of injections, Fertilo takes an alternative approach by aiming to mimic the natural environment of the ovary but in a lab setting. The goal is a potentially shorter protocol with just five days of oral medication, two injections, and an egg maturation within three days.

    HRC Fertility is currently pre screening participants for the GAM-01 Study to further research this clinical trial protocol and outcomes. The trial will be led by Dr. Robert Boostanfar of HRC Fertility’s Valley region, and includes physicians from HRC Fertility’s Beverly Hills and Encino locations including Dr. Shahin Ghadir, Dr. Sasha Hakman, Dr. Rachel Mandelbaum, Dr. Alison Peck, Dr. David Tourgeman, Dr. Sahar Wertheimer, and Dr. Irene Woo. HRC Fertility is one of only a few IVF clinics in the United States to collaborate on this study, and thus far, the only IVF and fertility provider in Los Angeles offering this pioneering program.

    “At HRC Fertility, we are proud to be at the forefront of advancing reproductive medicine,” shares Dr. Robert Boostanfar, Board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist of HRC Fertility and Principal Investigator of the study. “The Fertilo process has the potential to help make IVF more accessible to those who may have been discouraged by physical, emotional, or financial demands,” adding “We are extremely excited to partner with Gameto on this study and look forward to assessing the potential alternative approach further.”

    Participants will undergo an abbreviated ovarian stimulation cycle followed by egg retrieval, after which immature eggs will be matured in the lab using the Fertilo process. The resulting embryos can be frozen on day five of development, with an embryo transfer to the patient scheduled within approximately two months.

    Generally, participant criteria includes:

    • Participants be age 18-35

    • Undergoing assisted reproductive treatment

    • Body Mass Index (BMI) 21-40

    • Normal Uterine Cavity

    • Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) > 3 ng/mL

    • No endometriosis or presence of endometrioma

    • Male partner with adequate semen analysis

    As with many studies, costs related to medication, egg retrieval, anesthesia, and frozen embryo transfer will typically be covered by the study sponsor but non-study related costs may not be covered, and study participant guidelines, parameters and restrictions apply.

    About HRC Fertility

    HRC Fertility is one of the most established providers of advanced IVF and fertility care, with locations across California including Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, and the Bay Area, with a Las Vegas location coming soon. For over 35 years, HRC Fertility has remained dedicated to helping hopeful parents preserve their family building options for the future or build families now through world-class assisted reproductive technology, compassion and innovation.

  • Legal Dispute Arises Over Satisfied Mortgage in Queens Foreclosure Case

    Legal Dispute Arises Over Satisfied Mortgage in Queens Foreclosure Case

    A New York foreclosure case involving a previously satisfied mortgage led to a key Appellate Division ruling. The court upheld the rights of a third-party property owner to intervene and rejected the bank’s insufficient evidence. Petroff Amshen LLP, serving as Foreclosure Defense Attorneys, secured a critical procedural victory and defended the integrity of recorded satisfactions.

    NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / Imagine transferring a property years after a mortgage is officially marked “satisfied”-only to be pulled back into court when a bank claims it was all a mistake. That’s the legal trap a New York buyer faced in a recent foreclosure dispute, one where Petroff Amshen LLP stepped in to defend ownership, title integrity, and consumer protection.

    The Mortgage That Shouldn’t Have Been There

    In 2003, a home equity line of credit was issued for a residential property in Queens Village. Over a decade later, the bank-the successor to the original lender-recorded a satisfaction of mortgage, formally signaling that the debt was resolved.

    But in 2016, the bank initiated a foreclosure action against the property, claiming that the satisfaction had been filed in error. By that point, the home had already been transferred to a third party who purchased it in good faith, relying on the public record.

    What The Court Actually Said

    In a recent decision from the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department, the court addressed multiple core issues, ruling in favor of the current owner and affirming the legal boundaries banks must follow when disputing satisfied mortgages.

    The decision also underscores the role of experienced Foreclosure Defense Attorneys in protecting property owners when procedural errors or unsubstantiated claims threaten their legal rights.

    Key rulings included:

    • The third-party buyer had the right to intervene in the foreclosure case as the current legal titleholder.

    • The bank failed to submit sufficient admissible evidence to override the public record.

    • The court raised factual issues regarding residency status, leaving the door open for consumer protections under RPAPL 1304.

    • The bank could not establish standing to bypass standard foreclosure notice requirements.

    Why This Case Matters To Property Owners And Buyers

    If a mortgage can be “un-discharged” years after being marked satisfied, without concrete proof, any homeowner or property investor is at risk. The court’s position highlights the importance of trusting recorded satisfactions and ensuring that banks meet their legal burden.

    “A satisfaction of mortgage is more than paperwork-it’s the legal conclusion of a debt,” said Steven Amshen, Founding Partner of Petroff Amshen LLP. “We fought to ensure that banks cannot undo their own filings just because they changed their minds years later.”

    Petroff Amshen LLP: Defending The Finality Of Title

    Petroff Amshen LLP represented the third-party buyer in the appeal, challenging the foreclosure and preserving title rights that had been lawfully acquired. As Foreclosure Defense Attorneys, the firm emphasized:

    • The legal presumption created by recorded mortgage satisfactions

    • The lender’s failure to present verifiable facts

    • The importance of statutory compliance in foreclosure proceedings

    The case affirms the right of consumers and buyers to rely on official public filings-and the power of legal intervention when those records are contested.

    Legal Closure Means Legal Peace

    This decision reinforces the role of Foreclosure Defense Attorneys not only in stopping sales, but in upholding ownership rights and legal certainty in cases involving administrative errors or record conflicts. Petroff Amshen LLP advises homeowners and buyers to seek legal counsel immediately if they receive notice of foreclosure involving a previously satisfied mortgage.
