Pudu Robotics is using IFA 2026 to showcase a different direction for commercial robotics: machines that can move through human environments, manipulate objects and interact with people rather than performing a single narrowly defined task. Its PUDU D7 Semi-humanoid Intelligent Robot has been named an Honoree in the Best in IFA Next & Emerging Technologies…
TCL is using IFA 2026 to present a broader vision for the AI-powered home, where displays become intelligent interfaces connecting entertainment, appliances, people and physical spaces. At its “Inspiration Habitat” in Berlin, the company is bringing together next-generation televisions, augmented-reality glasses, AI-enabled appliances, robotics and sustainable energy technologies under its Screen Universe and NXTHOME ecosystem….
Solar panels and batteries are becoming increasingly common across commercial properties, but the next challenge is deciding how those assets should operate in real time.

As artificial intelligence reshapes enterprise technology environments, the security risks surrounding those systems are growing just as quickly. Virtual IT Group (VITG) is responding with two new managed offerings for organisations across Australia and New Zealand: Modern Managed Services (MMS) and Managed Detection & Response (MDR). The services combine security, governance, managed IT and 24/7…
Generative AI is moving deeper into legal discovery, but the industry’s requirements are different from those of ordinary enterprise search. Answers must be grounded in source evidence, reviewers need to understand where conclusions came from, and every significant interaction may need to withstand scrutiny later. Nuix is addressing that challenge with the general availability of…
Insilico Medicine is taking its generative AI drug-discovery strategy into a new phase of testing: not just whether an AI-designed drug can treat disease, but whether it can also shift molecular markers associated with biological aging. A study published in Nature Biotechnology reports that rentosertib, an investigational idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) drug whose target and…
UST has completed its acquisition of a majority stake in Italdesign from the Audi Group, bringing a technology transformation company with deep expertise in artificial intelligence, digital engineering and software-defined vehicles into the same corporate structure as one of the automotive industry’s best-known design and engineering firms. The transaction comes as automakers increasingly move beyond…
Battery-powered security cameras have traditionally traded some capability for installation flexibility. At IFA 2026, EZVIZ is challenging that assumption with a new generation of AI-enabled cameras designed to combine multi-lens coverage, 24/7 recording, wireless connectivity and solar charging. The company’s latest launches point to a broader shift in smart-home security: cameras are becoming more autonomous,…
Smart lighting has traditionally been about remote controls, schedules and preset scenes. Govee is pushing the category toward something more autonomous. At IFA 2026, the company is showcasing AI-powered lighting that can interpret text, voice and image inputs, respond to user context and coordinate increasingly complex lighting environments, including a new AI-powered ceiling light, COB…
