TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan External Trade Development Council Chair James Huang (黃志芳) said this year’s Computex will establish an AI robotics section showcasing innovations from domestic and international robotics makers and their applications in AI, UDN reported.
The four-day expo, running through June 5 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, is expected to attract about 1,500 exhibitors. The event will feature dedicated sections showcasing AI computing, robotics, displays, next-generation communications, future mobility, and green energy technologies.
AI robotics integrates advanced technologies, including vision-language models, into physical robotic systems. This shift toward “Physical AI” enables robots to perceive their environment, learn from real-world data, and perform tasks autonomously without traditional programming.
E-paper supplier E Ink, one of the exhibitors, said edge computing is highly power-intensive, while e-paper’s ability to retain images without power can help conserve energy for AI processing.
E Ink said it will showcase its collaboration with BMW on applying e-paper materials to vehicle exteriors, enabling cars to change color. It has also joined the supply chain of US humanoid robotics startup Apptronik to integrate e-paper into robot faces as an interface for human interaction.
The company added that it plans to apply e-paper technology to robot skin, helping display battery levels and sensor data.
Hiwin Technologies, another exhibitor at the expo, said it will unveil a robotic arm developed in collaboration with US robot maker Dexterity for logistics and warehousing applications. The robot features eight joints that can rotate or move, enabling it to handle parcels of varying sizes, the company said.
Yuan High-Tech Development, also an exhibitor at the event, said it will showcase an intelligent surveillance solution for use in drones, robots, and autonomous vehicles. The system combines image capture with edge computing to enable target search and tracking, as well as autonomous patrolling.
Intel said it will present its Core Ultra Series 3 platform to power AI computing in robots at the event. The company added that the platform enables on-device AI computing for edge applications, allowing faster, more reliable command execution.
Intel will also team up with 12 partners at the expo to set up a robotics and edge computing zone, showcasing applications in smart manufacturing and smart living.
