COMPUTEX 2026 is set to spotlight the future of artificial intelligence with the launch of its first-ever AI Robotics Exhibition Area at Hall 1 of the Taipei World Trade Center. The announcement was made during a press conference held on May 26, led by TAITRA Chairman Huang Chih-fang, alongside representatives from HIWIN Technologies, E Ink Holdings, Intel, and Sotech Technology Development.

Themed “AI Together,” COMPUTEX 2026 will focus on Physical AI and showcase the growing integration of AI technologies into real-world applications. The exhibition will cover areas ranging from robotics and smart city security to edge computing, e-paper solutions, and digital twin technologies.

AI Robotics Takes Center Stage

A key highlight of COMPUTEX 2026 is the introduction of the AI Robotics Zone. The exhibition area will feature technologies spanning the entire robotics ecosystem, including sensors, motors, reducers, actuators, and system integration solutions.

Visitors will be able to explore live demonstrations showcasing robotic applications in industrial automation, logistics, and healthcare. Participating companies include HIWIN, EVERBRITE, Turvo, Solomon, Texas Instruments, and Nuwa. Their exhibits will feature high-precision reducers, humanoid robot collaboration technologies, and AI vision-guided automation systems.

The launch comes as the global robotics industry continues to expand. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the global market value of industrial robot installations has reached US$16.7 billion. AI is increasingly enhancing robots with autonomous learning capabilities and adaptability to diverse operating environments.

Taiwan Targets Global AI Leadership

Speaking at the event, Huang Chih-fang, Chairman of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), said Taiwan is well-positioned to play a larger role in the global AI industry due to its strong hardware supply chain ecosystem.

He noted that the addition of the AI Robotics Exhibition Area reflects Taiwan’s ambition to evolve from a global technology manufacturing hub into a “global AI solutions center.” According to Huang, the initiative aims to combine smart manufacturing, precision applications, and software and hardware innovation capabilities to strengthen Taiwan’s position in the AI era.

Taiwan has also been actively promoting AI robotics development through initiatives such as the Taiwan AI Robotics Industry Alliance and the National Intelligent Robotics Research Center. These efforts are helping drive cross-industry collaboration, supply chain integration, and technology innovation.

E-Paper Solutions Expand Beyond Displays

Another major attraction at COMPUTEX 2026 will be the Electronic Paper Industry Zone.

The area will feature E Ink Holdings alongside Sharp, Netronix, and other industry players. Exhibits will include full-color large-format e-paper billboards, low-carbon smart labels, and blue-light-free medical display solutions.

Hung Chi-mao, Vice President of E Ink Holdings’ Business Center, said e-paper technology is evolving from traditional display applications to smart interactive surfaces. He highlighted its ultra-low power consumption, strong visibility, and flexibility for integration across various environments.

According to Hung, e-paper is increasingly enabling objects to deliver interactive, emotional, and personalized experiences through dynamic content and color changes.

Intel Highlights Edge AI and Robotics

Intel will showcase practical edge AI and robotics applications through its Robotics and Edge AI Pavilion.

Pei-Che Chang, Product Manager of Intel’s Computing Edge Computing Group, said Intel is committed to helping industries accelerate AI adoption through comprehensive edge AI solutions.

The pavilion will bring together 12 ecosystem partners and demonstrate applications across robotics, smart manufacturing, and smart living environments. Intel will showcase how edge AI systems can perceive, analyze, and take real-time action, enabling next-generation intelligent systems.

Smart Cities and 3D Security Solutions

Sotech Technology Development will present technologies focused on digital twins, edge computing, and AI-driven security systems.

Lin Hongpei, General Manager of Development at Contech Technology, explained that the company’s solutions combine image acquisition, AI analytics, and edge computing to create advanced 3D security environments.

The platform supports “ground-air integration” through AI patrol vehicles and aerial inspection systems. Digital twin technology allows organizations to simulate inspection routes virtually, reducing costs and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, natural language search and real-time AI analysis are designed to enhance smart city monitoring capabilities.

HIWIN Showcases Robotics Expertise

HIWIN Technologies will highlight its expertise in precision transmission and actuation technologies.

Weng Zhenmin, Deputy Manager of Project Development Department at HIWIN Technologies, said the company has accumulated more than 15 years of experience in robot components and system integration.

HIWIN’s products are currently used by robot manufacturers in Europe and the United States. The company was also included in Morgan Stanley’s “Top 100 Humanoid Robots” list in 2025. During the exhibition, HIWIN will demonstrate how its core components, joint actuators, and robot subsystems support AI robotics development.

Three Key Exhibition Zones

This year’s World Trade Center exhibition area will feature more than 180 exhibitors across three major zones.

The AI Robotics Zone will focus on robotics technologies and automation solutions.

The Electronic Paper Industry Zone will showcase sustainable display innovations and next-generation e-paper applications.

Meanwhile, the TechXperience Technology Application and Experience Hall will provide immersive demonstrations of AI-powered consumer technologies. Visitors will be able to experience AI-driven simulators and observe high-performance computing platforms operating with AI assistance.

COMPUTEX Forum to Explore Physical AI

In addition to the exhibition, the COMPUTEX Forum will be held under the theme “Robotics, Automation and Physical AI.”

Industry experts from NVIDIA, Qualcomm, ABB, and NXP will discuss emerging trends, technological developments, and opportunities shaping the future of robotics and AI.

Founded in 1981, COMPUTEX has grown into one of the world’s leading technology exhibitions, attracting more than 40,000 international buyers annually. Co-organized by TAITRA and the Taipei Computer Association, COMPUTEX continues to serve as a major platform for technology innovation, startup development, and industry collaboration. With its “AI Together” theme and new AI Robotics Zone, COMPUTEX 2026 aims to showcase how AI is moving from research and development into practical, real-world deployment.
