Applied AI: industrials & heavy machinery

These companies apply AI and autonomy to specific real-world domains — industrials, defense, space, robotics and other verticals. The link to AI runs through software, sensors, autonomy and the data these systems generate and analyze. Many are earlier-stage or project-driven, so results can be lumpy and tied to government budgets, contract timing and execution. Caterpillar's link to the AI trade is indirect: its engines and generator sets supply data-center backup and prime power, and the name sits on Santro's Burry short watch as a valuation-risk name rather than an AI pure-play.
