LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At CES 2026, a live robotic tactile interaction demonstration at the ENTERPRISE AI Zone in the North Hall drew industry experts and media.
Through a complete ice-cream making process—including lever manipulation, ingredient handling, and cup handover—the humanoid robot TORA-ONE showcased its autonomous task-execution capabilities.
As a leader in high-precision tactile perception and full-stack embodied AI solutions, PaXini presented its comprehensive product matrix to CES 2026. The exhibit featured full-body 6-axis F/T sensing ecosystems, multidimensional tactile dexterous hands, humanoid robots, and an omni-modality data acquisition system.
From Fingertips to Full Body: Endowing Robots with Tactile Sensation
At the core of the robot's dexterous manipulation is precise perception, which is underpinned by a full-body 6-axis F/T sensing ecosystem. The PX-6AX-GEN3 multidimensional tactile sensor is pivotal for hand perception. It spans three product series and 12 models, achieves <0.5%FS repeatability across the full measurement range, and simultaneously measures 15 sensing dimensions, including six-axis force, material texture, and elastic response.
In addition to comprehensive tactile sensing at the fingertips, force control at the wrist and joints is equally vital. PaXini showcased the PX6D/PXTS, the world's first commercial Hall-effect 6D force/torque sensor designed for embodied AI, combining extreme lightweight design with advanced on-sensor intelligence. It leads the industry in measurement performance and dynamic response, further enabling precise whole-body force perception and stable force control at a disruptive cost-performance ratio.
From Perception to Embodied AI Execution: The Multidimensional Tactile Dexterous Hand
Translating perception into precise action is the DexH13 multidimensional tactile dexterous hand. Equipped with 1,140 ITPU multidimensional tactile processing units, the DexH13 was able to accurately mirror a wide range of human hand gestures, while demonstrating stable grasping of irregular objects—from test tubes to cubes—and performing delicate tasks like knob turning.
The Ultimate Embodied AI Vehicle: Multidimensional Tactile Humanoid Robots
As the culmination of perception and execution, PaXini's humanoid robots offer generalization capability and practical performance, unlocking the true value of technological services in industrial applications. The core of these smooth interactions is the deep integration of tactile feedback into motion control: TORA-ONE demonstrated human-like manipulation, including cup receiving, dispensing, and wafer pick-and-place, while TORA-DOUBLE ONE showcased advanced motion control and interaction capabilities, completing complex obstacle-crossing tasks and engaging with visitors through handshakes.
The Fuel for Embodied AI: The World's First Omni-Modality Embodied AI Data Acquisition System
A major highlight was the exact replica of PaXini's Omni-Modality Embodied AI Data Acquisition System at the CES venue.
In response to the scarcity of physical contact modality data, PaXini unveiled its pioneering "human-centric" omni-modality data acquisition solution, which significantly improves data acquisition efficiency compared to teleoperation and, being based on human configuration, offers high data reusability and long-term value.
PaXini has established the capacity for large-scale production of nearly 200 million omni-modality data entries annually and plans to open this resource globally via a cloud store, addressing the industry's "data anxiety" through data infrastructure.
Ecosystem Strategy: Enabling Global Embodied AI Advancement
Through this closed loop of "Tactile Sensors - Robot Platform - Embodied Data - Scenario Application," PaXini goes beyond showcasing isolated technologies at CES 2026, delivering a complete embodied AI infrastructure. PaXini is dedicated to enabling AI to truly understand the physical world and making intelligent touch accessible everywhere.

Started With Power
Anker was founded in 2011 and released its first product in the following year: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank. It was a modest beginning, but behind it was an engineering conviction that would shape everything that followed. If technology is going to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, it has to be built to the highest possible standard.
2012 - The Beginning
Anker's first product: a 4,500mAh ultra-slim power bank - the start of a commitment to putting well-engineered, reliable power in people's hands.
2013 - PowerIQ™
Introduced PowerIQ™, enabling fast-charging compatibility across both iOS and Android - setting the standard for universal charging intelligence.
2018 - GaN from Aerospace
An early adopter of Gallium Nitride (GaN) from aerospace applications for consumer charging - delivering a 40% size reduction without sacrificing output.
2019 - World's Smallest 18W Charger
Delivered the world's smallest 18W charger at the time - proving that ultimate performance and ultra-compact form are not a trade-off.
2022 - GaNPrime™

Fifteen years. Eight technology generations. Every breakthrough driven by one and only promise: seeking the ultimate innovation, not as an end in itself, but because technology built to its highest standard is how we put the possibilities people want in their lives within reach. Technology in service of people. That is what this pursuit has always meant.
Today's Milestone: Anker Thus™
For 80 years, chip design has followed the same logic established by John von Neumann in 1945: separate the processor from memory, and shuttle data between them one instruction at a time. For eight decades across mainframes, desktops, and data centers, this model worked. AI breaks that assumption. A neural network draws on millions of learned parameters all at once - and in a wearable device, moving that data between memory and processor consumes more than 90 percent of chip power, leaving almost nothing for actual computation.
THUS™ applies a different principle: embed computation directly inside NOR Flash memory cells, where the model already lives. The model parameters never have to move. The energy previously consumed by data movement is redirected entirely to computation.
The first THUS™ AI chip debuts in earbuds, delivering up to 150 times more AI computing power on the environmental noise cancellation task than Anker's previous-generation flagship earphones.
Clear Calls - the chip's first disclosed feature - runs a large neural network entirely on-device, anchored by eight MEMS microphones and two bone conduction sensors, for a significantly clear call in any environment. Additional AI-powered features including Signature Sound and Voice Control debuted at Anker Day.
"Every AI chip built until now stores the model on one side and does the computation on the other. To think, the device has to carry all those parameters across, many times per second, every single inference. THUS™ puts the computation where the model already lives. The model never has to move again."
- Steven Yang, Founder and CEO, Anker Innovations
THUS™ takes inspiration from "Thus have I heard", a Buddhist phrase that reflects direct transmission - knowledge conveyed as it was experienced, without distortion.
All performance figures are based on internal Anker lab tests. The 150× AI computing power figure applies specifically to the environmental noise cancellation task and reflects the architectural change from rule-based to neural-net AI processing. It is not a general performance claim and does not reflect a process node upgrade. The environmental noise cancellation workload referenced here runs as an on-device neural network model on the first THUS™ chip.
Anker soundcore Liberty 5 Pro: The First Product Powered by Anker Thus™
The soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max are the first two products to ship with the THUS™ chip. Their positioning is organized around three on-device intelligence layers the chip enables - understanding, adapting, and tuning - each representing a function earbuds could not credibly perform before neural-net AI became viable at this scale. Coming to the market soon.
15 Years, One Promise
From our first power bank to a proprietary AI chip in 2026 - the categories we build in keep expanding, and so does the scope of what technology can do for people's lives. Our promise has been one and only, seeking the ultimate innovation, with the conviction that technology built to its highest standard makes the possibilities people want in their lives the ones they can actually live. Fifteen years is long enough to know that trust is earned slowly. Fifteen years in. The pursuit continues.
