DJI’s first battery-swapping drone-in-a-box cuts turnaround from ~30 minutes to ~25 seconds, but the ¥167,999 (~$23,600) price buys hardware only — software, deployment and service are all extra.
Alongside it, the company introduced Kosmo One—the world’s first 8K ultra-high-definition AI spatial camera—and Kosmo World, an AI-driven cloud platform.
At Reliance Jio’s IMC 2026 pavilion the pitch is disarmingly good — glance at a vendor’s QR, say “Hello Jio, scan and pay,” and the glasses handle the rest. But fourteen months after JioFrames was first teased, there is still no price, no on-sale date, no battery rating and no camera spec. This is a demo of intent, not a product.
It is the product Apple would rather you stop asking about. On October 13, 2026, Apple is expected to pull the sheet off a new Apple TV 4K — an A19 chip, built-in mics for hands-free Siri, and maybe a speaker-equipped remote. This is the box Apple left untouched for four years, in a category smart TVs are eating, at a price two to four times a Fire Stick.
When JAKA Robotics rolled the Kargo50 onto its CIIF booth on October 12, the pitch was “L4 comprehensive intelligence” and “batch production” at a leading auto-parts plant. What the brochure does not say is that the 250-kilogram machine lifts only five kilograms per arm, that the “L4” label has no independent certification, and that the headline deployment is almost certainly a single lighthouse line rather than a shrink-wrapped product.
Faraday Future will on Oct. 14 formally unveil FF Nova, a roughly 20-inch embodied-AI humanoid aimed at developers and schools — a deliberate bet to start at the cheap, forgiving bottom of the humanoid market rather than fight Tesla and Figure on factory floors.
The CZ53C is a three-gram USB-C stick that SanDisk launched in China in October 2026, purpose-built to live in a car’s data port and record dashcam and Sentry-mode parking video around the clock — its 1TB model rated for up to 40,000 hours of continuous loop recording.
It is just past seven in the morning in a Beijing walk-up, and freelance colorist Lin Miao opens the ASUS ProArt 创16 and asks it to transcribe six hours of on-set audio, rough-cut a selects sequence, and batch-rename 300 RAW stills. That is the promise of the AI PC made tangible: a 1.95 kg Windows workstation pairing AMD’s 50-TOPS NPU with up to an RTX 5090 and a 4K OLED.
