DigiKey Debuts Industry Power Supply Configuration Tool
DigiKey, has introduced an industry-power supply configuration tool, which simplifies the process of designing power supply solutions.Developed for engineers, designers, and system integrators, this intuitive online tool enables the quick selection of key attributes - such as outputs, voltage, current and more - to generate a tailored power supply solution that meets users’ desired requirements. Once configured, the custom power supply is assembled and shipped directly within days. Hosted on DigiKey's trusted, high-performance website, the configurator enables fast and accurate selection and sourcing - making it easier than ever to design, customize and order the right power solution for the project."DigiKey is thrilled to offer this industry-first tool that allows our customers to configure their own power supply independently," said Heather Fulara, senior director, interconnect and electromechanical for DigiKey. It dramatically reduces the time it takes to acquire a configured unit, which allows for more efficient workflows, saving time and accelerating design.The tool available from DigiKey currently features the NEVO+ and VCCM series from Vox Power, which is the first supplier involved in the program."Vox Power is proud to collaborate with DigiKey as the first supplier to participate in this innovative, time-saving tool," said Marco Prinsloo, co-owner of Vox Power. "We trust DigiKey's expertise in making our customers' designs come together seamlessly through its efficient online design and customization options."

AGIBOT Debuts Full Humanoid Robot Lineup at CES 2026
AGIBOT, a leading robotics company specializing in embodied intelligence, today marks its official entry into the U.S. market at CES 2026, showcasing one of the industry's most comprehensive humanoid robot portfolios, backed by the shipment of 5,000 robots to date. At a time when most of the humanoid robotics industry is still in prototype or pilot phases, AGIBOT's showcase at CES highlights its accomplished transition: from advanced R&D to a full portfolio of mass-produced humanoids already deployed at scale in real-world operations.At the heart of AGIBOT's technology is its innovative "One Robotic Body, Three Intelligences" architecture, which deeply integrates interaction, manipulation, and locomotion capabilities into a unified humanoid platform, creating a distinct competitive edge over traditional robotics. These robots excel in rapid adaptation to diverse scenarios, delivering swift responses to market demands and driving significant productivity improvements through enhanced efficiency and automation. Committed to open collaboration, AGIBOT invites global technology partners, developers, and ecosystem players to join in advancing embodied AI and building a mutually beneficial robotics future."Bringing our full robotics portfolio to CES marks a defining moment for AGIBOT," said Dr. Yao Maoqing, Partner at AGIBOT, Senior Vice President, and President of the Embodied Business Unit, "it demonstrates how we are able to build an ecosystem of humanoid robots, not for a single task or setting, but for a future where embodied intelligence can serve people across industries, environments, and everyday life."Introducing AGIBOT and Its Full Humanoid Robotics PortfolioAGIBOT was founded in 2023 with a clear ambition reflected in its name: building robots for the AGI era. Rather than creating single-purpose machines, AGIBOT is focused on developing embodied intelligent robots that can learn, adapt, and evolve in the real world.At CES 2026, AGIBOT presents its full lineup of embodied robots for real-world deployment. The portfolio includes the AGIBOT A2 Series, full-sized humanoids enabling multimodal interaction and autonomous navigation for guided presentations and showroom spaces; the AGIBOT X2 Series, half-sized compact humanoids that can interact naturally with people, walk in a humanlike way, and perform complex, expressive movements, designed for entertainment, research and education; and the AGIBOT G2 Series, industrial-grade embodied robots combining interactive intelligence with precise force-controlled manipulation for rapid deployment in industrial environments. The lineup is further complemented by the AGIBOT D1 Series quadruped robots for inspection and operations in complex environments, as well as OmniHand, AGIBOT's dexterous manipulation system for embodied robotic platforms.What unifies AGIBOT's diverse humanoid lineup is its "one robotic body, three intelligences" framework. Each robot is designed around the balanced integration of motion intelligence, interaction intelligence, and task intelligence, enabling natural movement, meaningful communication, and reliable execution of real-world tasks. This system-level approach allows AGIBOT robots to move beyond isolated demonstrations and toward sustained, scalable deployment across real commercial and societal settings.

World's First Non-Invasive AI-Driven Blood Glucose Monitoring Technology Debuts
Actxa, a Singapore-based preventive health technology company, recently announced significant enhancements to its proprietary BGEM technology, the world's first clinically backed, non-invasive, AI-driven blood glucose evaluation and monitoring technology. The advancements strengthen BGEM's ability to deliver medical-grade glucose insights through everyday wearables.One key innovation is BGEM Glucose Range, a clinically backed, medical-grade technology that estimates blood glucose levels within a numeric range using a quick, one-minute measurement. Developed using data collected through clinical studies, BGEM Glucose Range offers pain-free and meaningful glucose insights anytime, throughout the day, it provides a cost-effective and convenient approach, making glucose monitoring accessible and sustainable.BGEM Glucose Range: Medical-Grade, Non-Invasive Glucose InsightBGEM Glucose Range represents a major advancement in non-invasive glucose evaluation. Using data from clinical studies, the technology estimates glucose levels within a dynamic range to enable convenient metabolic monitoring throughout the day.Designed for wearable integration, BGEM Glucose Range delivers a cost-effective alternative to traditional glucose monitoring methods. BGEM Glucose Range combines wearable PPG sensors and AI-driven analysis of digital biomarkers to estimate blood glucose results.Everyday Glucose Awareness on the Core Smart RingIn addition, the Core Smart Ring, Actxa's first smart ring under the Core range, is integrated with the AI Glucose Scan feature, powered by BGEM Glucose Status technology, to help users take better control of their metabolic health. The feature enables users to check their glucose status and receive a Normal or Elevated result linked to daily habits.Developed using clinically collected data, AI Glucose Scan interpretsPhotoplethysmography (PPG) signals from the Core Smart Ring to provide simple, everyday glucose awareness. Paired with lifestyle and wellness guidance, the Core Smart Ring's AI Glucose Scan supports healthier decision-making and metabolic awareness.Driving the Future of Non-Invasive Glucose Monitoring"Glucose health is becoming a defining challenge for global preventive health, yet most monitoring solutions remain invasive, costly or difficult to sustain," said Marcus Soo, Chief Executive Officer of Actxa."We want to make health insights simple, personal, and actionable. Actxa is empowering individuals and partners to integrate preventative health and glucose awareness into everyday life.
