From Smart Homes to Autonomous Driving: Redefining Real-World AI Deployment

Kneron, a global leader in Edge AI chips and solutions, will make a powerful debut at CES 2026 on January 6, 2026, in Las Vegas, demonstrating its comprehensive full-stack technical capabilities across consumer electronics, smart security, industrial IoT, and enterprise computing.

Under the theme "The Future Lives at the Edge," the company will highlight its leadership in transitioning AI from cloud-centric models to device-native execution. By leveraging core advantages in localized on-device processing, ultra-low power consumption, enhanced privacy protection, and industrial-grade reliability, Kneron is actively redefining how AI is deployed in practical, real-world scenarios. Visitors to the North Hall, Booth #9145, will experience a technical ecosystem designed to be "trusted, usable, and controllable" for a new era of intelligence.

Smart Home & Companion Robotics: Human-Centric AI 

Kneron is prioritizing human-centric innovation with the NUWA home robot. This modular platform integrates advanced edge AI for vision and audio processing, enabling features such as facial recognition, voice control, fall detection, and vital sign monitoring. Beyond simple automation, NUWA functions as an emotionally intelligent companion and health guardian across safety, healthcare, education, and entertainment scenarios.

Complementing this is the AI IP Camera, powered by the proprietary KL730 chip. By processing over ten AI functions, including face tracking and acoustic event recognition, locally on the device, it reduces bandwidth costs by 70% and achieves sub-200ms response times without any cloud dependency.

Autonomous Driving Safety: Advancements in DMS & ADAS

Kneron’s automotive-grade solutions are driving advancements in both driver safety and automated assistance. The Driver Monitoring System (DMS), built on the KL730 SoC, achieves 99.6% accuracy in detecting dangerous behaviors such as drowsiness, phone use, and distracted posture within a range of 40cm to 1.2m. This system is engineered for high reliability under challenging conditions, including backlighting, heavy rain, and extreme glare. Furthermore, the AI-T-BOX platform supports multi-sensor fusion, integrating data from visible light, thermal imaging, radar, and LiDAR to enable electronic mirrors and advanced pedestrian or vehicle detection for passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and autonomous micro-mobility systems.

Smart City & Industrial Vision: Precision & Clarity

For urban security applications, Kneron will showcase its industrial-grade stitched AI camera featuring dual 4MP sensors that produce real-time, distortion-free panoramic images, successfully eliminating the "split-face" artifacts common in traditional stitching solutions. These cameras contain embedded AI models capable of identifying multi-national license plates, including military and foreign plates, as well as vehicle classifications and personnel identities. These features make the technology an ideal fit for traffic enforcement, community security, and emergency response operations where reliability is paramount.

Edge LLM Era: Private Generative AI Infrastructure 

To meet the demand for Generative AI, Kneron is unveiling several edge-native infrastructure solutions. The KNEO-Pi development board offers a Python and C++ compatible platform with open-source templates for developers in education, UAV recognition, and audio processing. Simultaneously, Kneron will debut three hardware platforms: the KNEO 330 entry-level box, the KNEO 350 high-performance server, and the KNEO Rack, a 19-inch rackmount AI cluster.

The KNEO Rack significantly disrupts traditional GPU server models, such as the NVIDIA H100, by reducing power consumption by 60% while maintaining equivalent computational throughput. This efficiency provides a secure and scalable solution for industries with strict compliance and data sovereignty requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and energy.
