AI, Robotics and Edge Computing Take Center Stage Across Industries at Computex 2026
Reporting from Taipei, Taiwan: COMPUTEX 2026 is spotlighting the growing integration of AI, robotics, and edge computing across industrial and service applications, with more than a thousand exhibitors participating in the Robotics zone and ePaper Pavilion at the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC).
The showcased technologies demonstrate how emerging innovations are being deployed to enhance efficiency and sustainability in manufacturing and service sectors.
E Ink is among the companies drawing attention with its electrophoretic ink technology, which mimics traditional ink on paper displays. Expanding beyond conventional uses like e-books and digital artwork, the company has collaborated with BMW to introduce E Ink Prism, a color-changing e-paper capable of adapting to three-dimensional surfaces.
Applied to the BMW iX3 Flow as a thin coating, the technology integrates with AI systems and sensors to dynamically modify the vehicle’s exterior appearance. It can, for instance, change the color of a door when the driver is about to exit, and future capabilities may include adjusting colors based on driver fatigue.
Vyin AI is presenting solutions that extend AI and robotics into service-oriented environments. The company is targeting pharmacy and retail use cases, where robots can assist customers or act as sales agents.
In pharmacy applications, the company incorporates strict safeguards to ensure compliance with regulations that limit drug promotion. In retail settings, its robots can respond to customer queries by directing them to the appropriate product locations.
Meanwhile, Solomon Technology Corp is showcasing robotic arms and systems focused on recognition and scanning, enabling manufacturers to validate assembly accuracy and streamline quality inspection processes.
Advantech is also exhibiting its edge AI and IoT solutions, which provide the systems and infrastructure required to support and accelerate practical AI deployment across industries.
In the healthcare segment, Free Bionics is demonstrating HipBo, an AI-powered rehabilitation exoskeleton. The system interprets user intent to enable high-intensity, repetitive movement training, helping restore neural connections while reducing the need for manual assistance.
Overall, the exhibits reflect a broader trend toward integrating AI-driven technologies into real-world environments, highlighting their potential to transform industries through improved efficiency, automation, and intelligent decision-making.
