Benks focuses on protective accessories built around genuine DuPont Kevlar aramid fiber, aiming for cases that stay very thin and light while still handling daily wear. In this interview they show a limited Chinese New Year “Year of the Horse” edition, using the woven pattern as both structure and design language, and clarify that “Kevlar-grade” doesn’t mean the phone is bulletproof even if similar fibers are used in ballistic gear. https://www.benks.com/

A key technical thread is how Benks differentiates 600D vs 1500D Kevlar: denier relates to fiber density, and changing it affects weave tightness, visual contrast, and surface texture. The talk frames it as a tactile choice too—rougher grip versus a smoother feel—while keeping the same core benefits of aramid fiber: high tensile strength for its mass, low thickness, and minimal bulk in hand.

The broader story is case engineering as materials plus ergonomics, filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026. Ultra-thin aramid shells can feel excellent and pocket well, but edge impacts are difficult to solve at very low thickness, so Benks also shows variants that add a TPU perimeter to improve drop behavior while keeping the Kevlar backplate aesthetic. They also highlight fitment work for foldables, and even mention being ready with a tri-fold style case for a newly launched Samsung foldable shown here.

Pricing is positioned around $40–$55 in the conversation, with a strong emphasis on authenticity: many “Kevlar-looking” patterns in the market are carbon fiber or generic aramid, while Benks points to DuPont licensing and consistent weave quality. The practical takeaway is to pick between maximum thinness and texture, or a hybrid build with TPU edges for a more forgiving drop profile, plus an ecosystem angle that extends the same material theme into items like power banks and stands ahead.

Pluggable founder Bernie Thompson explains why docking stations keep evolving: laptops lose ports, but workflows still demand power delivery, fast I/O, wired networking, and stable external displays over a single cable. The 2026 flagship Thunderbolt 5 dock is framed as a response to real connector habits—more USB-C, higher-wattage charging, and native display outputs people actually use in daily desk setups. https://plugable.com/products/tbt-udh2

In this booth chat from CES Las Vegas 2026, the dock’s layout is shown from the back: 180W input, up to 140W host charging, multiple USB-C data+power ports, dual HDMI, and Ethernet. Thunderbolt 5’s 80Gbps baseline with 120Gbps Bandwidth Boost lets a dock target high-refresh multi-monitor modes (for example dual 4K at 144Hz-class loads, with 8K modes depending on host and display). Pluggable also leans into a fanless mechanical design, plus 2.5GbE and UHS-II SD/microSD for media ingest here.

The technical subtext is that “one port to everything” only works when link negotiation is solid: TB5/USB4 tunneling, cable quality, monitor EDID behavior, and OS-specific display limits can all bite. Pluggable’s compatibility-first approach is about taming those edge cases, so storage, capture devices, and high-speed peripherals behave predictably across Windows and macOS with care.

The second demo uses Thunderbolt as external PCIe: a TB enclosure that hosts a desktop-class GPU, framed less as an eGPU gaming box and more as an AI inference engine. For local LLMs, the bottleneck is often VRAM and privacy, not peak frame rate—so a higher-memory card can load models quickly, generate tokens locally, and keep prompts and documents off the cloud. They also mention an in-house Plugable Chat app (Apache 2.0) built to run “chat with your data” workflows, including RAG over internal document stores inside.

Taken together, it’s a snapshot of docks turning into workstation front-ends: power, displays, Ethernet, removable media, and now desk-side AI acceleration over the same Thunderbolt fabric. If you’re building a dependable laptop-to-desk setup, the practical advice is to budget power, validate monitor modes (refresh matters as much as resolution), and treat cables as part of the system, not an afterthought today.

iFixit sits at the intersection of practical electronics work and sustainability: a huge, free library of repair manuals plus the parts and tooling to actually complete the job, whether it’s a phone, a laptop, or something as mundane as a small appliance. In this interview, Liz Chamberlain (Director of Sustainability) frames repair as a capability problem: if you own hardware, you should be able to maintain it, diagnose it, and restore it instead of treating it as sealed, disposable gear. https://www.ifixit.com/products/fixhub-power-series-portable-soldering-station

The hardware centerpiece is FixHub, a USB-C Power Delivery smart soldering iron system built around a 100W iron and a dual-port portable power station. The pack is rated 55Wh and is positioned as an “off-bench” setup: fast heat-up, sustained work time (quoted as up to 8 hours continuous), and the ability to run two irons with shared power limits when both ports are used. Temperature control is part of the point here, with a working range roughly 100°C to 420°C, plus safety behaviors like auto-standby and tip/heat indication via an illuminated ring.

What makes the demo feel real is that it’s not just “solder goes on”: it’s also rework. Chamberlain shows a beginner-friendly workflow, including desoldering an LED installed backwards, using copper braid (wick) to pull solder off pads—exactly the kind of mistake that turns “learning to solder” into “learning to debug assembly.” iFixit’s upcoming learn-to-solder kit leans into that by putting the instructions directly onto the PCB, while the commercial bundle pricing lands around $80 for the iron, about $250 for the iron plus battery station, and roughly $300 for a fuller kit with consumables and hand tools.

On the policy and product-design side, the conversation lands where iFixit often applies pressure: right-to-repair legislation and manufacturer choices that determine whether repair is routine or painful. They’re active in both EU and US advocacy, and the example that keeps coming up is batteries—moving away from aggressive adhesive, fragile pull-tabs, and solvent-based removal toward designs that are truly user-replaceable. It’s consistent with the FixHub philosophy too: screws, teardown guidance, and even 3D-printable case files so the tool itself is not a black box.

Finally, there’s the information layer: iFixit’s guides are split between in-house technical writers (often with engineering backgrounds) and a community-edited wiki model, which makes the content both broad and self-correcting. That same corpus has become training fodder for AI crawlers, so iFixit responded with its own mobile app and FixBot, an AI repair assistant that uses their manuals to ask diagnostic questions, route you to the right guide, and support voice or camera-based “show me what’s broken” workflows while still nudging users toward the photos and steps. The interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where repairability, tool ecosystems, and AI-assisted troubleshooting are starting to converge in a very practical way today.

OWC (Other World Computing) is framing Thunderbolt 5 storage as a way to keep “local-first” media workflows fast enough that you stop thinking about ports, bandwidth, and copy time, and instead treat external NVMe like a real extension of your workstation. The focus here is bus-powered performance, predictable sustained throughput, and RAID that stays readable across Mac and PC without being trapped behind a proprietary controller.
https://www.owc.com/

On the portable side, the Envoy Ultra is positioned as a single-SSD Thunderbolt 5 drive that pushes into the 6,000 MB/s class on burst and stays in a much higher baseline than typical USB-C SSDs once caches are exhausted. In the conversation, they describe roughly the first ~10% of the capacity sustaining the top band, then settling into about 1,600–1,800 MB/s for longer transfers, which is still very usable for large camera originals, proxies, and scratch media. The enclosure is engineered for passive heat dissipation (no fan, no dust ingress path), and the emphasis is on rugged, field-friendly behavior under real copy pressure and heat.

The bigger “desktop-on-a-cable” concept is the Thunderblade X12: a 12-drive NVMe array scaling by 12-drive increments up to 192 TB, aimed at high-throughput editing, ingest, and on-set shuttling where capacity and sustained speed matter more than peak benchmarks. RAID modes mentioned include 0/1/4/5/10, with RAID 6 planned, and the pitch is end-to-end sustained transfer in the 6,000 MB/s range without thermal throttling even on very large moves. The physical design leans into a heavy-duty heatsink approach to keep performance consistent under load.

A key layer is SoftRAID: software-defined RAID with drive health monitoring and early warning, plus practical interoperability for creators who bounce between macOS and Windows. The point isn’t “RAID replaces backup” (they explicitly call out keeping backups), but that if the enclosure ever dies, the data layout isn’t locked to a proprietary bridge chip—move the blades to another compatible setup and the volume can come back. Thunderbolt 5 also helps with system-level plumbing: where older buses could see display traffic steal priority and cut storage throughput, the added headroom makes it easier to run high-res monitors and fast storage on the same connection without the same penalty.

They also highlight the often-ignored weak link: cabling. A certified 2 m Thunderbolt 5 cable means you can actually place storage, docks, or displays off-desk without gambling on random USB-C wiring, signal integrity, or intermittent drops. This interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, and it lands as a pragmatic look at how bandwidth, thermals, RAID metadata, and certification details add up to fewer workflow surprises on set.

Ambiq frames its mission as “ambient intelligence”: ultra-low-power Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers and SoCs that keep sensing, listening, and rendering without treating the cloud as a default. The core differentiator is SPOT sub-threshold design, running transistors at very low voltage margins so meaningful edge AI can fit inside tighter power, heat, and battery limits. https://ambiq.com/apollo510/

On the silicon side, the Apollo5 family moves from Cortex-M4 into Cortex-M55 plus Helium (MVE) vector extensions, effectively adding an on-device AI/ML DSP path for int8 and floating-point workloads. Apollo510-class parts pair that compute with big on-chip memory and wide internal buses to avoid costly off-chip RAM/flash I/O; Ambiq highlighted configurations around 4 MB SRAM and 4 MB non-volatile memory, plus a microcontroller-scale GPU aimed at smooth UI on a small die.

A concrete edge-compute example is AR eyewear: Even Realities smart glasses use Apollo510B to drive dual microLED microdisplays, manage multi-layer graphics, and run local audio pipelines like beamforming, noise reduction, and speech enhancement. The interview was recorded during the Pepcom media event around CES in Las Vegas 2026, and it tied this workload to the broader shift from watches to rings, shoes, and other placements where thickness, mass, and thermal budget are hard constraint.

Ambiq positions the MCU as radio-agnostic—cellular, LoRa, Zigbee, or a nearby gateway—while wireless variants integrate Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 and a dedicated network processor for low-duty connectivity. That maps cleanly onto “sensor hub” architectures: keep a Cortex-A Linux/Android host asleep, fuse sensors and do always-on inference on Cortex-M, then wake the heavy core only when something is worth sending through the gate.

The power story is really about system behavior: keep radios off, ship answers instead of streams, and even compress signals like PPG data by up to about 16× when you must preserve raw traces for later analysis. Ambiq also hinted at next-gen “Atomic” devices with a neural processor for local video triggers (package detection, security cues), and noted it began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under AMBQ on July 30, 2025, putting more visibility on its edge.

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 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’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 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 (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.

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 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.

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.

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 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’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 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 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’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 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.
