Microip will attend Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, from March 10 to 12. The company has released details of several new hardware and software platforms it plans to showcase at the event.
MIPS has accelerated the development timeline of its S8200 neural processing unit, a RISC-V–based NPU designed for real-time, low-latency edge AI, as the company continues to advance its strategy around what it calls "Physical AI," following its integration into GlobalFoundries.
Ubiqconn Technology says its accumulated strengths in maritime communications and satellite applications are continuing to underpin expansion into new lines of business, even as near-term revenue remains under pressure. Orders for its unmanned vehicle ground control stations (GCS) have begun entering the delivery phase, while higher-value applications such as edge AI computing and visual recognition are advancing steadily, moves the company expects will improve its revenue mix and margins over time.
The development of quantum computing is increasingly taking on the character of a global arms race. Nations and corporations that secure an early lead stand to gain outsized strategic advantages. Quantum computers promise breakthroughs in drug discovery, advanced materials and industrial design. They could accelerate the training and optimization of artificial intelligence models and dramatically enhance military capabilities.
At CES 2026, the global auto industry's conversation has shifted. The focus is no longer confined to the aspirational language of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), but increasingly to the physical limits those ambitions must confront. Battery-electric vehicles are often cast as the most natural embodiment of this future. Yet quietly, and perhaps more consequentially, vehicles powered by internal combustion engines are running up against a harsh and largely irreversible constraint of their own: the physics of computing.
CES 2026, themed "AI Forward," signaled a shift by global tech giants from generative AI models and computing power toward physical AI. Companies showcased AI PCs and notebooks, AI smart glasses, and humanoid robots, targeting emerging opportunities in the edge AI device market.
