YUAN industrial AI camera cooled by Frore Systems AirJet PAK 5C-G2 + 1C cools Jetson Orin NX Super

Posted by – January 9, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

This video looks at an industrial edge-vision camera built by YUAN and thermally enabled by Frore Systems, where cooling is treated as part of the compute stack rather than an afterthought. The enclosure integrates an AirJet PAK 5C-G2 to keep an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX in “Super Mode” running at sustained power, plus a smaller 1C pack dedicated to the FPGA and local SSD so the whole pipeline stays stable under continuous load. https://www.froresystems.com/products/airjet-r-pak

Instead of a fan or a large passive heat sink, AirJet uses solid-state active air cooling with vibration-free airflow, which matters for imaging modules where micro-vibration can soften detail and hurt downstream inference. Frore quotes up to 45 W of net heat dissipation for the 5C-G2 in a compact 100 mm × 65 mm × 10 mm module, while the AirJet Mini G2 building block is rated around 7.5 W per chip, so designers can scale cooling like they scale throughput.

On the AI side, the demo focuses on real-time vision workloads: object detection, categorization, and a vision-language step that turns the live scene into a short text description. That “image-to-text” output is a practical interface for industrial automation, safety, and inspection because it can feed logs, alerts, and downstream rule engines without streaming video offsite, which is exactly the kind of sustained edge workload shown on the CES Las Vegas 2026 floor.

The underlying point is that fanless edge cameras often throttle or grow into heavy metal blocks when you try to hold peak throughput for long runs. By cooling the Jetson module and the surrounding acceleration and storage components separately, and keeping the system dust-resilient and water-resistant, the design aims for steady frame timing and consistent AI latency in a compact industrial camera.

GlocalMe PetPhone: 4G CloudSIM pet wearable with 1080p camera, AI wellness, 6-tech GPS

Posted by – January 9, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

GlocalMe presents PetPhone as a collar-mounted “pet smartphone”: a 4G LTE wearable that combines tracking, health/activity signals, and real-time calling so you can speak to a dog or cat from the app. The underlying trick is CloudSIM (SIM-less roaming), letting the device attach to local networks worldwide without swapping a card. The demo also calls out a subscription model around $5/month for connectivity. https://www.glocalme.com/

PetPhone is framed as a practical IoT node: geofences and escape alerts, a live route view, and a “6-layer” positioning stack (GPS/AGPS, LBS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, plus active radar for close-range finding). Two-way voice is the core interaction, and the demo mentions trained “call triggers” (a triple-jump gesture) so a pet can initiate a session; the PetPhone C+ Suite is also described with a 1080p camera and multiple viewing angles. The plan is described as “unlimited” data, but battery is presented as about two hours of continuous video capture, or roughly a week when used mainly as a tracker and occasional check-in for care.

The PetPogo ecosystem adds PetCam, a lightweight wearable camera often framed around 25 g, designed for both pet-eye POV and a wider monitoring view. That turns “where is my pet” into short contextual clips you can review, save, and optionally share in an in-app community feed, so the system becomes part tracker, part behavior log. This interview was filmed at the Global Connect showcase during CES Las Vegas 2026, and it captures how pet tech is converging on telemetry plus bite-size media from their side of the collar, not just a static map pin, with pet-eye POV.

Zooming out, the pet line sits on top of GlocalMe’s travel-connectivity catalog: SIM-free portable hotspots with flexible passes (GB bundles, day, month, or annual), plus hardware that hides a modem inside everyday objects. The booth shows RoamPlug (a travel adapter with an embedded 4G hotspot) and UniCord (a USB-C fast-charge cable that can spin up Wi-Fi when plugged in), alongside 5G mobile Wi-Fi and even 5G + satellite/NTN concepts that can auto-switch links to keep you online as you roam.

If you’re evaluating PetPhone beyond the fun “call your dog” moment, focus on operational details: how accurate the multi-radio location is in dense areas, whether action recognition and wellness trend alerts stay meaningful across breeds, and how permissions work when multiple family members want access. The mechanical choices matter too—chew resistance, waterproofing, and avoiding a swallowable form factor—because pet wearables fail more from real life than RF specs. Put together, it’s a neat case study in how CloudSIM, sensors, and UX design meet in pet IoT here.

Dreame A3 AWD Pro: 360° 3D LiDAR + dual AI vision, 4WD hub motors, EdgeMaster 2.0

Posted by – January 9, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Dreame’s A3 AWD Pro is a wire-free robotic lawn mower built around sensor-driven mapping rather than perimeter cables. The core idea is OmniSense 3.0 navigation: a 360° 3D LiDAR stack fused with dual AI “binocular” cameras, so the mower can localize, recognize boundaries, and keep a consistent mowing line even in irregular garden geometry. In the demo you see it identify the virtual boundary, back off, and re-plan, with most control happening from a phone app. https://www.dreametech.com/products/a3-awd-pro-robot-lawn-mower

Mechanically, the AWD part matters: 4WD hub motors and a treaded wheel design target slippery grass, ruts, and transitions. Dreame quotes up to 80% (about 38.7°) climbing and crossing up to 5.5 cm obstacles, which is the difference between handling a garden edge and getting beached on it. The mower is also positioned to cope with thicker growth (Dreame mentions grass up to roughly 15 cm) and to mulch through light leaf fall in one pass too.

Cutting hardware is aimed at both coverage and finishing: a 40 cm dual-disc deck with 3–10 cm height adjustment, plus EdgeMaster 2.0 to trim close to borders with around 1.5 cm edge precision when the path runs tight. The workflow is “map once, maintain continuously,” where the garden becomes a live map in the app and the mower can stream video telemetry so you can verify what it thinks the boundary is without walking the whole yard. Shown at CES Las Vegas 2026, it’s a practical snapshot of how consumer LiDAR robotics is moving outdoors today.

Obstacle handling is where the sensor fusion earns its keep. The A3 AWD Pro is designed to classify and avoid 300+ common yard objects, and it has a “pet friendly” behavior that slows down and turns away as it approaches animals. That matters for toys, branches, and the unpredictable stuff that breaks autonomy, and it’s also a safety layer when you’ve got kids or pets nearby. Dreame also leans on frequent firmware updates to refine detection models and path planning over time, month after month regularly.

On timing and cost, Dreame’s CES messaging points to a Q1 rollout, with European availability called out from March 2026 for the A3 AWD Pro series. Published pricing in Europe is €2,599 for the A3 AWD Pro 3500 and €2,999 for the A3 AWD Pro 5000, with regional pricing likely varying by channel and warranty terms, so treat those as launch anchors rather than a final global price.

Inmo Air3 1080p waveguide AR glasses: Snapdragon, ring control, 36° FOV

Posted by – January 9, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

INMO Air3 is positioned as an all-in-one AR glasses computer: dual-eye 1920×1080 Micro-OLED feeding a full-color RGB optical waveguide, with a 36° field of view aimed at making UI and text readable rather than “notification only”. The demo also shows a sunglasses clip that flips the optics between tinted and clear mode. https://www.inmoxr.com/pages/inmo-air3

What makes this category hard is interaction, and INMO leans into multiple input paths: a touchpad on the glasses temple plus hardware buttons, a pocketable touchpad “mouse”, and a smart ring that acts like a spatial controller. In the interview the ring is framed as enabling a multi-window workflow (up to three floating screens) without reaching for a phone, which is the difference between “phone accessory” and wearable computing.

This walkthrough was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where the conversation turns from display specs to real usage: Android-based apps, lightweight media viewing, and the idea of running assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek) as AR utilities like teleprompter prompts, translation overlays, and an always-available context note.

On the hardware side, INMO’s published spec list calls out a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-core platform with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, plus a 16MP 120° ultra-wide camera with 1080p recording and EIS stabilization. The display stack is rated up to 600 nits and supports 60/120Hz refresh, and the sensor set (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, ambient light) helps keep head-tracked UI stable during movement.

Battery expectations in this segment land around “a movie or two”, which matches short, high-brightness AR sessions rather than all-day XR. The bigger story is where the product sits in the market: INMO is betting that binocular 1080p waveguide optics paired with ring/touchpad input can make standalone AR feel closer to a wearable PC than a camera-first smart glasses gadget.

Hengbot Sirius robot dog demo: autonomous mode, camera vision, joystick teleop

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Hengbot (heard as “HBO Innovation” in the interview) is showing Sirius, a trainable AI robot dog aimed at consumer human-robot interaction: a compact quadruped that blends a camera “face” display, on-device perception, and behavior control that feels closer to a configurable pet than a fixed animatronic. The pitch is less about one scripted demo and more about a platform where personalities, motion “tricks,” and UI can be tuned over time, with a developer angle via exposed APIs. https://hengbot.com/pages/hengbot-sirius-ai-dog-robot

In the booth demo you see multiple control paths—gesture triggers, voice commands, web control on the local network, and a gamepad/joystick for teleop—plus an autonomous mode meant to react to nearby motion. Hardware cues in the build include a forward camera, a small screen for feedback, capacitive touch on the head “hat,” and expressive ear/pose behaviors that simulate attention, sleep, and “annoyed” states when repeatedly poked, all wrapped into a light indoor form.

From the wider product positioning, Sirius is framed as an edge-AI companion with multimodal interaction and a large prebuilt motion library (useful for animation, HRI research, and “creator” workflows), rather than a pure robotics lab platform. That emphasis shows up at CES Las Vegas 2026 as the conversation shifts toward stability, repeatable recovery after falls, and software iteration—trying to make the robot read as lifelike behavior, not just plastic motion, in a tight feedback loop.

The limitations are also part of the story: about 1–1.5 hours of runtime in the current demo unit, and perception features that are still being upgraded (e.g., edge/table detection to avoid stepping off a surface). Viewers will recognize the classic quadruped stack tradeoffs here—balance control, foot placement, contact sensing, and vision-based scene understanding—where small improvements in state estimation and policy tuning can change the whole “pet” illusion in a room.

Kickstarter fulfillment is described in batches, with the team collecting early backer feedback before a broader retail push, and there’s clear demand for a self-charging dock so the dog can roam and return to power without human help. The most interesting long-term thread is customization: if the API access matures, Sirius could become a programmable embodied agent where behavior, voice, and “character” are modular—useful for education demos, elder companionship experiments, or just testing what people actually want from a home robot on the road.

BLUETTI Booth Tour at CES 2026, Elite, Apex 300, EnergyPro: kWh scaling, 120/240V, DC-DC charging

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

This booth tour frames BLUETTI’s product families as a spectrum from grab-and-go power banks to fixed whole-home energy storage, with the common theme being modular kWh scaling, fast recharge paths, and safer chemistries like LiFePO4 and sodium-ion. The conversation stays practical: what runs a fridge, what survives winter camping, and how you wire portable gear into a home panel without turning it into a permanent install. https://www.bluettipower.com/

On the portable side, the Elite lineup is shown in several sizes, including a rolling Elite 400 style unit aimed at “move it where you need it” backup. Architecturally it’s battery + BMS + inverter + MPPT charging in a single enclosure, exposing AC outlets, DC ports, and solar/car inputs with app telemetry for watts, state-of-charge, and thermal headroom. The booth even uses its own stations to run loads like a demo fridge for power.

A standout demo is BLUETTI’s sodium-ion Pioneer Na concept, positioned for sub-zero performance where lithium packs lose charge acceptance and voltage under load. The key claim is cold-weather usability—discharge in freezing conditions (around the -25°C range) and recharge while it’s still cold—so an off-grid kit is less dependent on warming the pack first. The walk-through was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026.

System integration is where the stand gets interesting: Apex 300 is discussed as a 120/240V-capable stack that can be expanded with extra batteries and tied together through a hub for higher output. Nearby, the Charger 2 DC-DC unit is framed as alternator-plus-solar aware charging for vehicles, so a power station can take up to roughly 1.2 kW while driving, then fall back to PV when parked to top off quickly.

For stationary backup, EnergyPro is presented as the “don’t move it” category, with 6 kW-class and larger 13 kW-class options aimed at smart distribution, PV coupling, and clean cutover for critical circuits. The tour also touches on a bio-based plastics effort for portable shells (using recycled cooking-oil feedstock) with a stated ~25% reduction in manufacturing emissions, while keeping the enclosure rugged for day-to-day home.

Strada cloud-free ProRes 4K streaming: virtual filesystem to Final Cut, real-time HEVC, p2p storage

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Strada is pitching a simple idea: keep raw media on your own drives, but make it reachable like a cloud app. Instead of uploading terabytes of camera originals, Strada’s peer-to-peer “Agent” turns any folder on a Mac or PC into a remotely accessible library, so collaborators can review, share, and start cutting without paying ongoing storage rent or dealing with cloud egress. They even estimate cloud storage can cost around 40x more per GB than a drive you already own. https://strada.tech/

The demo shows why this matters for video: a ProRes 4K file stored on an OWC ThunderBay in Los Angeles is played back from a laptop in Vegas with responsive scrubbing, instant jumps across the timeline, and even 8x playback. The drive activity light becomes the proof point—pause and it stops, play and it spins up—because the source really is staying on that local RAID here.

Under the hood, Strada leans on real-time, variable-bitrate file streaming plus hardware encoders to adapt huge mezzanine files to whatever network you have. In this CES Las Vegas 2026 walk-through, they describe Apple Silicon as a good fit thanks to built-in HEVC, letting multi-GB media get compressed from “gigabit-class” data rates down to a few Mbps in roughly 100–200 ms, so you can work without pre-made proxy files today.

A newer piece is the virtual file system mount: Strada can appear in Finder like a local volume, so you can drag a remote clip directly into Final Cut Pro and keep the project pointing back to the original storage. On capable M-series machines, the same host can serve multiple concurrent ProRes streams for several editors, while Windows and ARM-enabled PCs can also participate when you need a mixed studio.

Looking forward, Strada talks about byte-range caching: edit lightweight H.265 proxies anywhere, then “conform” by pulling only the exact high-quality segments referenced on the timeline, minimizing transfer and avoiding manual relinks. The team also hints at Linux support and more appliance-like hardware paths (helped by OWC’s recent investment), which could turn direct-attached drives into a more distributed collaboration fabric for the years ahead.

Sonim MegaConnect Pocket Emergency WiFi, Frore Systems HPUE Class 1 5G hotspot cooling with AirJet

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

This interview digs into a very practical bottleneck in rugged wireless gear: once you push a mobile hotspot into HPUE/Power Class 1 transmit levels, the RF power amplifier heat load grows fast, and the product usually turns into a heavy “metal brick” to stay stable. Frore Systems shows how Sonim’s MegaConnect integrates three AirJet Mini solid-state active cooling modules so a higher-power 5G hotspot can remain pocketable while still serving as a team Wi-Fi node in remote coverage zones. https://www.froresystems.com/

The key point is efficiency: Class 1/HPUE amplifiers are often quoted around the teens in percent efficiency, meaning most battery energy becomes heat rather than radiated power. AirJet changes the packaging trade-off by moving heat with high back-pressure airflow in a thin, fanless module, letting Sonim shrink the thermal solution while keeping vents and airflow paths aimed at the PA and the main PCB heat sources to manage that heat.

From a networking angle, MegaConnect is framed around FirstNet MegaRange operation (Band 14/n14) plus modern Wi-Fi, so the value is uplink reliability and coverage extension rather than peak downlink headlines. In the field, that translates to sending live video, uploading incident data, and creating a local hotspot bubble for nearby devices, while the thermal design reduces throttling and helps the enclosure target IP53-type dust and water-splash resilience at the edge.

Seen in the context of booth demos at CES Las Vegas 2026, it’s a nice reminder that radio “range” features are frequently limited by watts, not marketing. When cooling is compact enough to carry, a responder can walk the perimeter and keep a higher-power uplink available for the rest of the crew, without hauling a separate amplifier or a huge heatsink pack.

Compact Edge AI: Frore Systems AirJet PAK 5C G2: Jetson Orin NX Super 40W solid-state active cooling

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Frore Systems is showing an AirJet PAK module aimed at rugged edge-AI boxes built around NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX “Super” class designs, where sustained 40W operation usually pushes passive heatsinks into bulky, heavy metal. The idea is to replace a large passive thermal mass with a compact solid-state active cooler that keeps the same compute envelope, but targets around an 80% reduction in volume and weight for the thermal hardware. https://www.froresystems.com/products/airjet-r-pak

At the core is AirJet Mini G2, a thin solid-state air-moving “chip” designed for high backpressure airflow in sealed enclosures (useful when you need to pull air through tight ducts and filters). In this demo the AirJet PAK 5C G2 integrates five Mini G2 devices plus a control board into a self-contained heatsink module; a heat spreader couples the SoC to the PAK, and a simple 4-pin interface handles power/ground and operating level control for closed-loop thermal management.

What’s interesting here is the system-level trade: keeping “fanless-like” industrial attributes (silent operation, fewer moving parts, long service life) while avoiding the passive-only penalty in mass, z-height, and enclosure size. That matters for robots and humanoids where every gram affects payload, stability, battery sizing, and joint torque, and where thermal throttling directly cuts TOPS/W under sustained inference loads. The video itself was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026.

Reliability is a big part of the pitch: the PAK can be paired with dustproof, water-resistant filtration so the device behaves more like a sealed industrial node than a laptop-style ventilated box. If your target is “deploy and forget” edge compute for 5–10 years, this kind of high-backpressure solid-state airflow plus filtration is a practical path to sustained 40W AI at the edge without oversizing the enclosure for passive heat soak.

BreakReal R1 AI bartender: natural-language cocktails, QR ingredient scan, fridge + ozone clean

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

BreakReal R1 is a countertop conversational AI bartender that turns natural-language requests into a drink recipe, then mixes it without you measuring each pour. In the demo you can ask for something like a spicy piña colada or a sweeter fruit-forward mix, and the system suggests variations before you press start. The core idea is personalization through chat-style intent parsing plus a recipe engine that maps your flavor words to the ingredients currently loaded. https://breakreal.com/

On the hardware side, R1 is built around an eight-ingredient bay feeding multi-channel pumps, with sensors used to confirm what’s installed and to control dosing. Instead of a fixed menu, the machine composes a recipe from what you have on hand, then runs the pump sequence automatically to hit target ratios. It’s positioned as a flexible drink platform, supporting alcoholic and non-alcoholic builds and even coffee-style beverages, with an emphasis on repeatable dose.

Ingredient onboarding is handled through an app workflow that uses a camera scan (QR/label) to identify a bottle or carton and attach structured metadata like flavor profile and alcohol by volume. That database then drives recommendations—what you could make now, what you might want to buy next, and how a new ingredient changes the recipe graph. This interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where the focus was less on mixology theater and more on the data pipeline behind the pour there.

Temperature is treated as part of the system design, with a built-in refrigerated compartment and an adjustable setpoint intended to keep mixers cold, while you still add ice when you want fast chilling or dilution. The UI also plays with mood inputs—happy, tired, or in-between—to generate different cocktails, and there’s a community angle where recipes can be shared and downloaded across regions. In practice it’s an automation layer for parties: less time learning technique, more time tasting how different ingredient sets change the same base recipe here.

Maintenance is handled via an auto-clean cycle that the company says uses ozonated water to reduce residue and bacterial growth in the fluid path, aiming to simplify pump/valve hygiene. As with any multi-ingredient dispenser, real-world reliability will hinge on sugar buildup, viscosity differences, and how consistently people run cleaning cycles. Pricing discussed around launch puts early-bird units around $1,099 with a ~$1,299 MSRP, and the pitch is clearly for home use rather than replacing a bartender today.

Momcozy Air 1 wearable breast pump: app control + charging case, plus 2-in-1 swing 66 lb

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Momcozy’s booth walkthrough centers on two “hands-free” caregiving workflows: an electric swing meant to calm an awake infant, and wearable breast pumps built for discreet, mobile pumping. What connects them is human-factors design—reducing setup steps, keeping controls predictable, and making it easier for a parent to grab a short break without turning childcare into a project. https://momcozy.com/products/momcozy-air-1-ultra-slim-breast-pump

On the swing side, the standout spec is how long it stays useful. Instead of topping out around 30–35 lb like many infant swings, this 2-in-1 unit converts into a stationary toddler seat rated up to 66 lb; in the interview they frame that as usable through roughly age 5. Momcozy also positions it as more than a single motion: multiple swing motions/patterns with adjustable speed, built-in music (eight melodies are mentioned), and a detachable seat with recline options for supervised lounging, reading, or snack time.

For pumping, the focus shifts to app-connected wearables (the demo references Air 1, and Momcozy’s Mobile Flow M9 is another app-driven model in the same lineup). The technical angle is closed-loop power and tracking: a charging case that recharges the pumps between sessions (they claim about 15 pumping sessions per full case charge, depending on duration), plus app control for mode changes, timers, and milk-output logging. Momcozy also leans into fit and discretion—an ultra-slim profile is claimed for Air 1, while M9 marketing emphasizes multi-mode control, 15 intensity steps, and up to 300 mmHg suction—because comfort, seal quality, and flange alignment drive real-world efficiency.

Filmed during CES Las Vegas 2026, the video frames Momcozy as a broad pregnancy-to-toddler ecosystem rather than a single device pitch: soothing, feeding, pumping, and everyday parenting gear that prioritizes portability and low-interruption interaction. The most useful takeaway is the safety and usage framing—swings are for soothing while awake (not sleep), and wearables are about making pumping compatible with commuting, meetings, and travel—so the tech serves routine, not the other way around today

Airseekers Tron Ultra 4SWD robotic mower: LiDAR+AI vision, FlowCut 2.0 dual blade

Posted by – January 8, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Airseekers is pushing robot mowing beyond “flat suburban lawn” and into mobility-first outdoor robotics: the interview focuses on the new Tron Ultra platform (and what they learned from the first TRON generation). The big theme is reducing setup friction (wire-free operation, simpler boundary concepts) while increasing autonomy via sensor fusion, so the mower behaves more like a small off-road robot than a gadget. https://airseekers-robotics.com/

Later in the video (filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026), Tron Ultra is shown doing maneuvers you normally associate with skid-steer or tracked machines: zero-radius spin, tight-radius turns, and a sideways “crab” move for escaping narrow passages. Airseekers frames this as 4SWD (four-wheel steering + four-wheel drive), where each wheel can be controlled to improve traction, reduce rutting, and hold line on uneven ground, including steep grades around 85% (about 40°) when conditions allow at that degree.

Navigation is presented as a LiDAR + AI-vision stack with VSLAM-style mapping and multi-camera coverage (the demo unit references four cameras for near-360 perception). The goal is reliable obstacle detection, no-go zones, and path replanning around lawn furniture, plants, and edges in real time, without the brittleness people associate with weak GNSS areas. Airseekers also talks about expanding signal coverage using beacons to reduce dead zones under trees and near structures, so the robot can keep a clean boundary map.

On cutting, Tron Ultra upgrades the company’s FlowCut concept into a FlowCut 2.0 “3-in-1” approach with a double-bladed design and a wider cutting deck, aimed at higher throughput and finer mulch for nutrient recycling. The pitch is practical: more grass per pass, fewer missed strips, adjustable cutting height, and more consistent mulching so clippings don’t clump or smother the turf during a cut.

Commercially, Airseekers says the first-gen TRON launched via crowdfunding in 2024 and scaled into broader sales in 2025, with claimed shipments around 20k units across the US and Europe and user feedback trending positive despite early firmware bugs. For Tron Ultra, the interview mentions an April launch window and a price “over $2k,” while recent announcements around CES point to an April 2026 Kickstarter target closer to the $3k range depending on configuration, with swappable batteries and fast charging aimed at multi-zone and larger-property coverage value

Frore Systems LiquidJet coldplate: 3D jet-channel cooling, 600 W/cm² hotspots, 7.7°C

Posted by – January 7, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Frore Systems’ LiquidJet is a direct-to-chip liquid cooling coldplate aimed at the thermal limits of modern AI accelerators, and it was first unveiled at OCP in October 2025. Instead of treating a GPU package as one uniform heat source, it treats it as a power map, so the coldplate can be tuned for die, HBM stacks, and any localized hot spot that dominates junction temperature. https://www.froresystems.com/products/liquidjet-dlc-coldplate

A lot of today’s data-center coldplates are built with skived 2D microchannels: coolant enters, runs a long path, warms up, and you get a noticeable temperature gradient across the plate. LiquidJet flips that by using short-loop “jet-channel” microstructures and multi-level manifolding, so cooling can be uniform when you want it, or intentionally biased toward a 10×11 mm hot region on a larger die area. Feature sizes can get down to ~75 µm, which is why the manufacturing approach matters a lot.

The manufacturing angle is borrowing semiconductor-style fabrication, but on metal wafers: etch the microstructure rather than machining long channels, then build the stack as a precise, repeatable flow network. In this CES Las Vegas 2026 walkthrough, Frore shows hotspot demos and explains how the approach can support very high heat flux, up to about 600 W/cm² with liquid-metal TIM, versus roughly 300 W/cm² in many conventional plates, while holding a tighter temperature field on the plate.

On current high-power GPU platforms, Frore quotes results like ~7.7°C lower GPU temperature, ~75% higher heat removed per unit flow (kW/LPM), and ~50% lower coldplate mass using copper where it counts and a lighter top construction. Lower required flow (they cite about 1.0–1.4 LPM per kW) can also reduce pumping load and pressure stress on rack plumbing, which matters when a CDU is feeding many parallel loops at scale, with production targeting around June.

Looking ahead, the discussion links cooling needs to packaging trends: single-reticle versus multi-reticle dies, rising total module power toward multi-kilowatt designs, and the need to cool both compute and adjacent HBM without overbuilding the whole loop. If hyperscalers can hold junction temperature down with less flow and less pressure drop, they can often sustain higher clocks and improve throughput-per-watt at the rack level, which is the real prize in an AI factory rack.

Rokid Glasses HUD update: microLED waveguide, SDK + app store, AI model choice

Posted by – January 7, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Rokid’s latest smart-glasses update shows a deliberate split between two product directions: a display-free “AI glasses” form factor for all-day wear, and a lightweight AR option with a subtle heads-up overlay. The conversation stays grounded in practical wearability—swappable styling, prescription support up to about ±15 diopters, and lens choices like clear, tinted, and photochromic—while keeping the same voice-first AI intent. https://global.rokid.com/pages/rokid-glasses

The new display-free model, branded Rokid Style, leans into camera + audio rather than a microdisplay. Public specs around CES 2026 put it near 38.5 g with a 12 MP camera, open-ear speakers, and mic capture for commands, calls, and meeting-style transcription. Internally, it uses a dual-chip split: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1-class silicon for imaging/AI tasks, plus an ultra-low-power NXP RT600-family MCU for always-on sensing and audio DSP, which helps battery life.

Rokid’s AR glasses remain a different product: dual microLED waveguide displays that render a green monochrome UI, so navigation prompts, captions, teleprompter text, and quick widgets stay glanceable without turning the frames into a bulky visor. Rokid says the earlier prototype matured through crowdfunding and shipment, and the team has already rolled out 300+ optimizations based on daily user feedback. This interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026.

What stands out is the “model choice” story. Depending on region and preference, users can route queries to different AI backends (examples discussed include ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Alibaba Qwen), with cloud translation options as well as offline translation modes. For developers, Rokid points to Android and iOS SDKs/APIs, an AOSP-based stack on the glasses, and a lightweight app model, with an app store already live in China and planned for broader release.

The roadmap is framed through real use cases: an augmented interviewer that suggests better questions in real time, context-aware humor prompts, guided tours that narrate what you see, grocery coaching via short-term memory, and opt-in conference networking overlays. Rokid also hints at full-color waveguide displays as a future step, while acknowledging current cost and yield limits—so near-term progress is likely to come from software, ecosystem, and power management rather than spectacle.

ZenoWell ear neuromodulation: left-ear vagus stimulation, HRV biofeedback, sleep + pain

Posted by – January 7, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

ZenoWell demonstrates an ear-worn neuromodulation device that delivers transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) rather than audio. Small electrodes rest on the outer ear to stimulate the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, aiming to shift autonomic state toward parasympathetic “rest-and-digest” and make it easier to downshift into sleep. https://zenowell.ai/

In the demo, stimulation targets the cymba concha and cavum concha (the “simba/cavum” zones on the ear), and intensity is adjusted with simple +/– controls. The sensation is described as comfortable—closer to a gentle vibration than an electric shock. ZenoWell frames it as a multi-mode device with presets for sleep, acute stress, headache, and pain, plus programs intended to support faster recovery.

The newer generation adds app connectivity and personalization: stimulation parameters can be tuned to biometrics like resting heart rate, heart-rate variability (HRV), and sleep performance, using onboard sensing or third-party wearable data. The team also talks about expanding ear-based sensing (PPG for pulse metrics and even EEG-like signals) toward a tighter closed-loop “sense + stimulate” workflow. This interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where taVNS is becoming a more visible consumer wellness category.

A practical detail is the left-ear recommendation: right-side vagal pathways can have stronger cardiac influence, so many non-invasive protocols default to the left to reduce unwanted heart effects. A user testimonial describes hyperarousal episodes where heart rate drops from roughly 120 to 80 within about 20 minutes of a session, consistent with a rapid sympathetic-to-parasympathetic shift for some users. They also note a short adaptation period where the brain gets used to the new sensation quickly.

The positioning here is “non-drug adjunct,” not a replacement for medical care, alongside ongoing research interest in taVNS for insomnia across populations and broader neuromodulation for rehab and symptom support. Usage guidance is protocol-driven: sleep programs used regularly for 2–4 weeks, and chronic pain sessions up to twice per day over similar time windows. Pricing discussed ranges from an entry tier around $30 up to roughly $300–$400 for higher-end, app-connected models, and the team mentions exploring reimbursement pathways with insurers in the future.

Frore Systems AirJet solid-state cooling for Snapdragon X2 Elite desktop: 21 dBA, 10mm

Posted by – January 6, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Frore Systems walks through a Qualcomm reference desktop built around Snapdragon X2 Elite, showing how three AirJet solid-state cooling modules can fit inside a mini PC that’s roughly 10 mm thin while staying very quiet. The point isn’t the industrial design; it’s demonstrating that active cooling doesn’t have to mean fans, thick heatsinks, or wide-open vents when you still want sustained SoC power around the 25 W class. https://froresystems.com/

AirJet is a fully self-contained thermal module that uses ultrasonic MEMS membranes to pull air in and push out high-velocity pulsating jets, trading “big fan airflow” for high static pressure and a controlled internal duct path. Frore’s published numbers put AirJet Mini G2 at about 7.5 W heat removal per chip, ~2.65 mm thickness, ~1,750 Pa back pressure, and ~21 dBA acoustics, which helps explain why stacking multiple chips scales cleanly inside a compact device package.

The reference design is shown in two form factors: an ultra-thin square slab and a circular puck variant, both intended as templates that Qualcomm can hand to OEMs rather than a finished retail product. Because intake happens through small, discrete inlets, the demo highlights adding fine filtration (they mention a MERV-14 class filter) to move toward dust-resilient, water-resistant designs that won’t clog like conventional fan grilles. This was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where sealed edge compute is a recurring theme here.

In practical terms, the interesting engineering claim is sustained performance: keeping an Arm Windows desktop from thermal throttling once CPU, GPU, and NPU blocks are loaded for long AI sessions, compiles, or local inference. The speaker frames it as “about five times thinner than a Mac mini” while maintaining higher sustained output, but even if you ignore the comparison, the takeaway is a thermal budget strategy that prioritizes flat, mount-anywhere PCs over short benchmark bursts today.

If these concepts become shipping systems, expect them to show up behind monitors, inside kiosks, in conference-room AV racks, and in industrial/retail edge boxes where acoustic noise, dust ingress, and service intervals matter. Solid-state active airflow removes fan bearings as a failure point and gives OEMs more freedom on materials (plastic or metal) while keeping the system quiet.

Yarbo M Series modular yard robot at CES 2026: LiDAR, mower+snow+trimmer for 0.25–1.5 acre auto

Posted by – January 6, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Yarbo is built around a single autonomous Core that turns into different outdoor machines by swapping seasonal modules, so one battery platform can cover mowing, debris handling, and snow work. The navigation approach is sensor fusion—RTK positioning, stereo vision, IMU/odometry, and ultrasonic obstacle sensing—paired with app mapping and automatic return-to-charge behavior.
https://www.yarbo.com/ces-2026

In this interview, filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, Melody and Cory introduce a new compact M Series that keeps the modular idea but targets typical residential lots (about 0.25 to 1.5 acres) as a more affordable entry point. The unit shown adds a LiDAR-assisted perception layer alongside dual cameras, aiming for 360° situational awareness when combined with ultrasonic sensing. Pricing was still being finalized, but the discussed target range was roughly $2,500–$3,000.

For spring and summer, the mower module handles the main cut while a rear trimmer can run at the same time for boundaries the deck can’t reach, turning “mow + edge” into one job. The trimmer uses standard spool line (not proprietary), with capacity cited around 23 m, and the cutting height adjustment shown in the demo spans about 2–4 inches. This fits the broader theme: treat yard care as repeatable autonomy, not a one-off gadget, and keep maintenance simple at the edge.

When conditions change, modules swap: a collector can pick up clippings, leaves, pine needles, and small debris, then auto-dump when load reaches about 55 lb at a user-defined drop zone on the map. For snow, they show an angled plow blade that can yaw about 25° left or right, plus a two-stage snow blower option intended for heavier accumulation. They also describe tying the robot to a weather service so clearing can start overnight before morning routines start.

The conversation also covers ownership models: splitting cost across neighbors, or landscapers running small fleets that can be dropped off, charged, and rotated between jobs. As a reference point, Yarbo’s full-size mower module is rated around 6.2 acres per week at a typical twice-weekly schedule, while the M Series is positioned as the compact sibling. Warranty was described as 2 years standard with optional extensions up to 5, and safety relies on redundant sensing plus obstacle avoidance so the platform can run without constant supervision, with new attachments expected to extend capabilities over time.

BLUETTI Pioneer Na+ sodium-ion 900Wh: -25°C portable power station + 1500W inverter, Charger 2 DC-DC

Posted by – January 6, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

BLUETTI’s latest portable power lineup leans into two themes: higher energy density in smaller enclosures, and more complete charging “ecosystems” around the box. In this interview you get a quick look at the Elite Series form factor, plus the Elite 100 V2—a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 (LFP) unit rated around 1,800W, using bio-circular attributed polycarbonate (mass-balance materials such as Covestro Bayblend RE) to lower the housing footprint while keeping a travel-ready enclosure for field use. https://www.bluettipower.com/pages/ces

A big real-world pain point for campers and overlanders is recharging away from the wall, and BLUETTI’s Charger 2 targets that directly with a DC-DC alternator + solar approach. It’s positioned as a smart energy hub: up to 800W from the vehicle side, up to 600W PV input (13–50V, 20A class), and up to 1,200W out toward a compatible power station, with cut-off logic intended to protect the starter battery once the engine is off or voltage drops, and an install that’s described as roughly an hour for a typical setup in a vehicle.

The most technically distinct box on the table is Pioneer Na, marketed as an early commercial sodium-ion portable power station: 900Wh capacity with a 1,500W inverter-class output, fast charging up to about 1.9kW, and cold-weather operation down to roughly −25°C (with charging supported down to around −15°C). Sodium-ion trades energy density for thermal robustness and long cycle life (often quoted 4,000+ cycles), so it’s less about being the lightest pack and more about staying useful when LFP chemistry can feel sluggish in deep winter cold.

Filmed at CES Unveiled in Las Vegas 2026, the booth demo also nods to appliance-first backup thinking with a “FridgePower” concept: a slim, fridge-oriented backup station aimed at riding out outages without losing food, where surge headroom for compressor start and recharge paths (PV, wall, and vehicle DC) matter as much as the headline watt-hour figure. In other words, “portable power” is increasingly about power electronics behavior under load, not just battery capacity on the spec sheet for the grid.

Overall, BLUETTI is framing portable power as modular infrastructure: LFP for mainstream density and cost, sodium-ion for low-temperature resilience, and dedicated DC charging hardware to make energy replenishment predictable while traveling. If you’re comparing boxes, the useful spec list isn’t only Wh and W; it’s PV voltage/current windows, DC port topology, thermal operating limits, surge characteristics, and cycle-life expectations for your off-grid gear.

Vrch Agentic VJ System: real-time audio-to-diffusion visuals on local GPU + MIDI control

Posted by – January 6, 2026
Category: Exclusive videos

Vrch’s Agentic VJ System is a compact, backpack-friendly VJ computer that listens to a live audio feed (and can also ingest camera input) to generate visuals in real time, so a performance doesn’t depend on pre-rendered clips or a huge media library. https://www.vrch.io/aivj

Under the hood it chains several local AI components: a custom live-audio analysis model extracts tempo/BPM plus higher-level cues like genre and mood, a language-based agent turns those parameters into scene prompts (the demo mentions an Alibaba Qwen family model), and a diffusion model renders the frames on a discrete GPU (shown with RTX 4080-class hardware, with an upgrade path to 4090-class) with low latency.

The operator experience is closer to a visual synthesizer than “AI asset generation”: a touchscreen UI shows the auto-analysis, you can override or steer the prompt on the fly, and control can come from DJ gear via MIDI/OSC, gamepads, or other controllers. The hardware is designed around a swappable GPU and a tight parallel pipeline, aiming for high on-device throughput without cloud dependency.

For bigger stages, the system can scale out by running multiple nodes and stitching outputs over WebSockets, so each box renders a tile of a larger canvas for higher resolution projection. In the interview they reference tests in London’s Outernet immersive venue, and note that early prototypes are being rented frequently, with most interest coming from outside China; the clip itself was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026 in Eureka Park.

Today it’s an x86 Linux build packaged as a 3D-printed prototype, with a target mass-production price around USD $2,000–$3,000 depending on performance tier. They also acknowledge a future path toward ARM/NPU acceleration, but the current stack leans on NVIDIA CUDA, which keeps the real-time render path straightforward while the product roadmap takes shape.

Pebble Core Devices CEO Eric Migicovsky at CES 2026: Pebble Round 2, Pebble Time 2, Pebble 2 Duo

Eric Migicovsky frames the Pebble comeback as a response to a wearables market that drifted toward “a phone on your wrist.” The new lineup keeps the original thesis: e-paper readability in sun, physical buttons, notification triage, music control, and basic step/sleep tracking, without cellular, app sprawl, or constant charging anxiety. AI shows up as a lightweight helper rather than a center of gravity, which is part of the point: fewer features, executed cleanly. https://repebble.com/watch

On the hardware side, the Round 2 is a clear example of how far low-power silicon and display modules have moved: the bezel disappears, contrast is deeper, and battery life jumps from a few days on the old Time Round to roughly two weeks on the reboot. Pebble is still leaning on Sharp memory-display heritage and color e-paper reflective LCD, with the design tuned for ambient light plus a wrist-flick backlight when it is dark today.

Software is where the reboot becomes more interesting technically. PebbleOS sits on FreeRTOS rather than embedded Linux, with a compact UI framework and tiny kilobyte-scale apps and watchfaces that load fast and sip power. Migicovsky talks about using modern AI coding tools to generate watchfaces and apps already, and the longer-term idea is “describe an app” by voice and have the watch scaffold it automatically right there.

The story also reflects a rare IP arc: Pebble was acquired by Fitbit, then Fitbit by Google, and Google ultimately agreed to open-source large parts of the original operating system and tooling. That shift enables development in public, community pull requests, and a more durable ecosystem for iOS and Android users who want long battery life and tactile controls, as shown in this CES 2026 booth chat on the floor.

Alongside the watches, Pebble Index 01 extends the same minimal-compute philosophy into a ring: a thumb button and microphone capture short thoughts, then Bluetooth sync streams audio to the phone where speech-to-text and an on-device LLM can route it into notes, reminders, or timers. It is positioned as “external memory” more than a health tracker, using local processing and long-life batteries to keep the device simple, private, and quick in the moment of mind.
