SEOUL, South Korea—December 24, 2025—BOS Semiconductors, a fabless semiconductor company specializing in automotive and physical AI semiconductors, today announced that it will participate in CES 2026, the world's largest technology exhibition, taking place in Las Vegas, USA from January 6–9, 2026. At the event, BOS will unveil an AI Box demo designed for next-generation mobility.At CES 2026, BOS will highlight its strategy aligned with major industry trends, including the advancement of autonomous driving, the shift toward Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), and the expansion of Physical AI. Through the demonstrations, BOS will present how to anticipate emerging needs in mobility AI environments - such as: Support for a wide range of AI models based on CNN and Transformer architectures, Flexible scalability and integration with existing automotive electronic systems, Real-time perception and decision-making enabled by physical AI.To support these capabilities, BOS will showcase AI model demos powered by its AI Box integrating the high-performance AI accelerator Eagle-N. The AI Box is an external AI computing module that allows automakers (OEMs) to add an "AI brain" to vehicles without replacing existing in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, enabling fast AI expansion with minimal platform change.With the AI Box, OEMs can minimize changes to their existing systems while extending high-performance AI functionality independently. This approach accelerates adoption of advanced AI capabilities not only in new vehicles but also in facelift models - updated versions of existing vehicles with enhanced design and features - reducing development cost and time while improving long-term product competitiveness.The AI Box is based on an on-device AI architecture, delivering several advantages. Sensitive data such as voice and video can be processed directly inside the vehicle rather than being transmitted to the cloud, strengthening privacy protection and data security. It also ensures stable AI operation regardless of network connectivity, improving overall reliability. Over the long term, the AI Box can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by lowering cloud traffic, inference, and storage costs. In addition, it offers strong scalability without requiring server expansion as the number of users increases.BOS' AI Box is designed to integrate flexibly with existing vehicle systems through multiple interfaces, enabling an efficient AI vehicle architecture based on clear role separation: AI-intensive functions are handled by the AI Box, while existing systems continue performing their original roles. At the booth (Venetian Expo, Hall A, Booth #50017), BOS will demonstrate on-device AI models that combine Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) based on the AI Box architecture. The demo will also be showcased at the Tenstorrent Demo Room as well."Through our AI Box demo with Eagle-N at CES 2026, we will present a practical approach for effectively scaling AI capabilities even on existing mobility system," said Jason (Jeongseok) Chae, Vice President and Head of Strategic Marketing & Sales at BOS. "We aim to evolve beyond automotive semiconductors and become a core semiconductor company leading the era of Physical AI."

DeCloak develops next-generation privacy-preserving AI decision platform for robotics
Service robots are moving quickly into healthcare, security, and public environments. Yet their increasing reliance on visual and spatial perception technologies has introduced a major hurdle: uploading raw visual data to the cloud now poses significant privacy and regulatory risks. European and U.S. regulators have recently designated mobile image collection as a high-risk activity, shifting the robotics industry from a "performance-driven" model to one fundamentally shaped by compliance requirements. This shift is redefining what it takes for robotic systems to scale safely and legally.To address these emerging requirements, DeCloak Intelligences has developed a portfolio of privacy-preserving AI systems that rearchitect how visual intelligence is handled at the edge. This includes DeCloakFace, designed for safeguarding personal biometric traits; DeCloakVision, tailored for medical and caregiving environments; and the company's third-generation core platform DeCloakBrain, developed specifically for autonomous robotics. DeCloakBrain functions as a generic AI decision-making engine for robotic autonomy, enabling spatial perception and task execution without relying on sensitive visual data, making it a foundational technology for future large-scale deployments across regulated environments.According to DeCloak President Dr. Yao-Tung Tsou, the company's core innovation lies in "privacy-by-design at the data source," ensuring that all sensor inputs - such as images and numerical data - undergo irreversible de-identification directly on edge devices at the moment of capture. This is achieved through multilayer techniques integrating differential privacy on edge hardware, image anonymization, spatial computing, global visual fusion, and federated learning. With its proprietary irreversible de-identification technology, DeCloakBrain maintains high-accuracy, low-latency decision-making without using original sensor data. The technology is already modularized across software and hardware, enabling rapid, secure deployment and seamless integration with AMRs, medical service robots, humanoids, and quadruped robots, while supporting scalability in both performance and functionality.From a compliance standpoint, DeCloakBrain aligns with stringent privacy regulations in the US and EU. This allows international customers to meet privacy and safety requirements for public spaces, medical applications, and defense-related use cases, mitigating cross-border deployment risks. Dr. Tsou emphasized that DeCloak's intelligent system is built upon years of accumulated datasets, patented de-identification models, VLM/VLA scenario libraries, and long-standing integration experience with global robotics supply chains. This foundation forms a difficult-to-replicate ecosystem for privacy-preserving intelligence, offering verifiable data protection and robust multi-device interoperability.DeCloak enters a pivotal scale-up year as Japan, US, and Europe markets take shapeIn its global expansion strategy, DeCloak identifies Japan as its fastest-moving commercialization market, with public-space monitoring and smart healthcare positioned as the initial priority sectors. The company's integrated systems for these applications have completed deep technical alignment and are now progressing into phased deployment.In the United States, market development is led by partners specializing in military and law-enforcement robotics.
