Intelligent machines are moving beyond sensing and automation to learning, adapting and acting with greater autonomy.
At NTC 2026 in Pune, the panel discussion on “Sense, Learn, Act: The New Architecture of Intelligent Machines” explored what fundamentally changes as machines evolve from automated systems to intelligent ones.
Omkar Harshe, Digital Engineering Leader, Accelera by
@Cummins, highlighted how the shift from automation to intelligence is also a shift in where intelligence sits, from the machine to the cloud, and how much autonomy we are willing to give AI.
Kamakshya Prusti, Vice President – Growth,
@TataTech_News, showed how even a simple product can become intelligent when sensing and domain expertise come together, turning real-world data into meaningful insights.
For Kartik Oak, Director – ALM Product Management,
@PTC, the real opportunity lies in creating a continuous feedback loop, where what machines learn feeds back into engineering knowledge and helps systems evolve.
Adityanag Nagesh, Co-founder & Chief Business Officer,
@mowito2, brought the conversation to one of the biggest challenges in robotics and AI: learning efficiently.
While humans can learn from relatively little data, machines still require enormous amounts to reach similar levels of understanding.
Together, the conversation pointed to a larger shift. Intelligent machines will not just sense and act. They will need to learn, adapt and continuously improve.
