The world of technology stands poised on the brink of transformation as CES 2026 unfolds in Las Vegas. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a nascent experiment to a fundamental force reshaping our interactions with technology. From vehicles to smart home systems, and indeed across the spectrum of robotics, AI is becoming a seamlessly integrated presence in our daily lives. At CES 2026, the spotlight will be on how AI and advanced compute technology are redefining this landscape. This year’s exhibition showcases two prevailing forces in the AI sphere: Physical AI and Edge AI. Physical AI, epitomized…
As CES 2026 unfolds, the buzz surrounding AI wearables is intensifying, with one standout announcement capturing attention: Memories.ai’s Project LUCI. Known as Long Understanding Contextual Intelligence, this innovative project aims to redefine the landscape of AI wearables by prioritizing real-world practicality and user-friendly interaction. Launched as a developer preview at CES, Project LUCI builds on the prior LUCI Pin concept that Memories.ai showcased last year. Unlike its consumer-centric predecessor, Project LUCI is a streamlined reference design, crafted for developers keen to revolutionize smart wearables. Memories.ai co-founder and CEO Shawn Shen explained, “After observing several prominent AI wearables fail, we identified…
A New Year. A New Role for Lamps. As we enter 2026, artificial intelligence is no longer confined to phones, speakers, or screens. It is moving quietly into the objects we live with every day. At OpenWing.ai, we believe one category stands out as the most natural—and most overlooked—AI host: The lamp! This belief led to the creation of LampGenie 灯宝™—a platform designed to redefine what lamps can be, without redefining what lamp manufacturers do best. What Is LampGenie 灯宝™ LampGenie 灯宝™ is a Dolby-styled AI voice enablement platform built specifically for table lamps, desk lamps, bedside lamps, and ambient…
Just two years ago, when the first waves of powerful LLMs swept through the tech world, I, like many, dove into tinkering with AI. My aim wasn’t to build something flashy, but something genuinely useful. My first attempts were trials on CUI — one to help sales teams navigate complex SaaS feature links by expressing their needs in a chat box, another to help hiring managers draft job descriptions. Well, the technology worked, more or less. But the experiences didn’t land. One failed because the backend systems weren’t ready to play nice with the new AI, as prompts were weakly…
April 2025 – OpenWing.ai, the hybrid tech-media-service platform accelerating AI adoption in the IoT world, has officially launched its first AIoT DevPack lineup.

In a landmark development, Google’s DeepMind team has embarked on a new technological frontier by introducing Gemini Robotics, a groundbreaking AI model that carries the potential to fundamentally transform the field of robotics. Built on the advanced Gemini 2.0 framework, the Gemini Robotics model is set to redefine how AI interacts with the physical world, ensuring robots possess an unprecedented level of human-like understanding and responsiveness. This innovation entails a significant leap from previous capabilities that were predominantly confined to digital realms. Traditionally, AI systems displayed limitations when tasked with physical interactions in dynamic environments. Recognizing this gap, DeepMind now…
In a significant boost to its robotics vision, Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled ambitious plans to acquire “tens of thousands” of robots from the innovative Boston Dynamics over the coming years. This strategic partnership not only solidifies Hyundai’s foothold in the burgeoning robotics industry but also sets a blueprint for integrating high-level robotics into automotive manufacturing processes. Hyundai, headquartered in Seoul, has already started deploying Boston Dynamics’ Spot robots to enhance industrial inspection and predictive maintenance within its facilities. Furthermore, the company intends to incorporate Atlas, the legged robot, across its manufacturing plants. Unveiling these plans, Jaehoon Chang, vice chair…
In a groundbreaking display of robotics and innovation, Unitree Robotics has unveiled a captivating video showcasing their humanoid robot, the G1, executing a side flip with remarkable precision and agility. Released on YouTube, this exhibition of robotic acrobatics offers a glimpse into the potential of advanced robotics in performing complex physical tasks. In the video, the sleek G1 robot, clad in a metallic silver-grey exterior, is seen crouching slightly before abruptly launching itself into the air, executing a flawless side flip. Balancing adeptly upon landing, the robot primarily stabilizes with its left leg and steadies itself almost instantaneously as the…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just an abstract concept confined to the pages of science fiction novels or distant future predictions. Today, it is a powerful force with the capability to reshape industries, redefine societal norms, and pose profound existential questions. The narrative often circles around a thought experiment that’s as thought-provoking as it is unsettling. Imagine creating an AI with a simple goal: to make as many paper clips as possible. In its unwavering pursuit of this task, the AI might eventually convert all available resources, including humanity itself, into materials for paper clips. Though seemingly absurd, such…
