Roborock Maintains Global No.1 Position in H1 2026

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock ranked No.1 globally by both unit shipments and sales value among robotic vacuum brands in H1 2026, according to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Smart Vacuum Robotics Tracker, 2026Q2. The result further strengthens Roborock’s sustained leadership in the category, with the company also ranking No.1 globally in cumulative sales value among robotic vacuum brands from Q1 2023 through Q2 2026, according to IDC.

The latest recognition comes as the global robotic vacuum market continues to evolve, with market concentration increasing and competition shifting toward technology innovation, premium products and deeper cleaning experiences. IDC reported that the global robotic vacuum market shipped 7.885 million units in Q2 2026, while leading brands continued to strengthen their positions in the increasingly concentrated market.

Roborock’s continued leadership is underpinned by sustained investment in AI-powered perception, intelligent navigation, cleaning performance and robotic mobility. At IFA 2026, the company showcased its latest innovations across indoor and outdoor cleaning, including the Saros 20 Flow, Qrevo Edge 3 Pro, F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 and F25 Pro Turbo Combo, alongside its expanding outdoor robotics portfolio, including the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR robotic mower and RockAqua P1 robotic pool cleaner.

“Our mission is to give time back to our customers by automating everyday tasks,” said Quan Gang, President of Roborock. “Building smarter robots is the means, not the goal. Every minute spent on housework is time taken away from family, passions, and personal well-being.”

Roborock’s global leadership is supported by continued investment in research and product development. In the first half of 2026, the company recorded RMB 10.084 billion in revenue, up 27.6% year on year, while net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 986 million, up 45.6% year on year. R&D investment reached RMB 720 million, representing 7.14% of revenue, supporting continued development across intelligent navigation, AI-powered environmental perception, cleaning systems and robotic mobility.

As robotic cleaning evolves from individual products toward broader, full-scenario applications, Roborock is expanding its robotics portfolio beyond robotic vacuum cleaners. Its sustained leadership in the category provides a foundation for bringing intelligent robotics into more areas of everyday life, with the goal of helping consumers spend less time on routine chores and more time on what matters to them.

GOxCALL Turns Any Screen Into a Smart Queue Counter for Local Businesses

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CAYIN Technology today announced GOxCALL, a new queue management feature for its cloud based digital signage platform GO CAYIN. GOxCALL lets shops, clinics, restaurants, and other service counters turn an existing screen into a live queue counter, removing the need for a separate hardware kiosk.

Retail counters, medical clinics, restaurants, and service desks across many industries often rely on physical ticket dispensers that require dedicated wiring, installation, and ongoing maintenance. For small and medium businesses, this cost and complexity can be a real barrier to upgrading the customer experience. GOxCALL addresses this by running entirely through the cloud, so a business only needs a screen and an internet connection to get started.

With GOxCALL, customers can request a number through a mobile phone or an on site touch screen, and the queue status appears instantly on the connected display. Staff can monitor waiting numbers and adjust service pace from a simple online dashboard, with no technical training required.

GO CAYIN also offers a permanently free Poster plan, letting businesses use a screen for promotional content and announcements at no cost. Businesses that want the queue feature can add a GOxCALL subscription on top of their Poster plan, scaling the service to match demand without a large upfront hardware investment.

“GO CAYIN was built to help small and medium businesses adopt digital services without a heavy technical burden,” said a company spokesperson. “GOxCALL continues that mission by making queue management as simple as connecting a screen to the internet.”

GOxCALL is now available to businesses across retail, food service, healthcare, and other customer facing industries in Taiwan and beyond. Interested businesses can visit https://www.gocayin.com to learn more about pricing and subscription options.

About CAYIN Technology

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, CAYIN Technology is a global provider of digital signage solutions, with products deployed in more than 100 countries. GO CAYIN is the company’s cloud based digital signage platform, designed to help small and medium businesses launch screen based marketing and service tools with minimal setup.

TECNO Demonstrates the Deep Customization Potential of Mobile AI with Tailored EllaClaw Agentic Workflows

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, TECNO showcased the deep customization potential of its exploratory mobile AI agent, TECNO EllaClaw, through a tailored workflow ecosystem developed with leading global technology media outlet Digital Trends. Designed to address the real-world needs of digital content professionals and creators, the showcase highlights how TECNO is transforming Agentic AI into practical, personalized experiences that adapt to everyday workflows. Moving beyond generic mobile agentic AI, it demonstrates how TECNO’s rapidly evolving AI capabilities enable customizable, system-level intelligence for users across different professions, industries and real-world scenarios, paving the way for the next generation of mobile AI experiences.

“As Agentic AI continues to evolve, we believe that the true value of phone-native Agentic AI should not be limited to rigid, pre-set functions,” said Adrian Boly, President at Digital Trends Media Group. “It should have the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs and pain points of individual users, enabling intelligent solutions that are truly relevant to how they work. This collaboration with TECNO is an important first step in exploring what that level of customization can look like on a smartphone—and we believe there is much more to come.”

Tailored Agentic AI Workflows Built for Digital Content Professionals

EllaClaw’s flexible Agentic AI capabilities can be customized for a wide range of real-world scenarios and user needs. In this collaboration with Digital Trends, TECNO applied this flexibility to the daily workflows of technology journalists and content creators, ultimately narrowing the focus down to four representative scenarios that address key bottlenecks across the end-to-end content creation process.

News Background Research turns EllaClaw into an always-ready research agent. When journalists encounter a developing story, they can share with EllaClaw, which autonomously identifies the topic, searches across trusted and selected news sources in the background, and synthesizes the findings into a structured brief covering historical context, key developments, stakeholder perspectives and source references. The result can then be saved directly into the phone’s Notes app, with an audio version available for quick listening — turning a fragmented research process into one continuous workflow. Building on these insights, Research-to-Script streamlines content planning by turning research into structured storyboards with multilingual script suggestions and supporting creative assets, helping creators move from ideas and research to production without manually switching between tools.

Personal Writing Style gives EllaClaw a persistent understanding of how each creator communicates. By analyzing user-provided writing samples, it builds a reusable style profile, and applies that profile when creating content for different platforms. The profile can continue to evolve with new samples and user feedback, allowing EllaClaw to become increasingly personalized over time. Finally, Social Media Risk-Word Check reviews content against platform-specific publishing considerations, helping creators reduce potential risks while preserving the effectiveness of their messaging.

Together, these workflows demonstrate how EllaClaw combines multiple AI capabilities into a seamless workflow experience, helping users spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on creativity, storytelling, and meaningful content.

Building the Future of Practical Agentic AI

While TECNO developed this customized showcase specifically for professional content creators, it demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of EllaClaw, highlighting how its Agentic AI capabilities can be adapted to diverse real-world scenarios.

Beyond intelligent automation, TECNO places user control, transparency, and privacy at the core of the EllaClaw experience. Designed as a digital co-pilot rather than an autopilot, EllaClaw supports users throughout the creative process while keeping every important decision in human hands. For content creation workflows, users review, refine, and approve every AI-generated output before publication, ensuring AI enhances productivity while creativity, judgment, and responsibility always remain with the user.

Standing at the forefront of intelligent innovation, TECNO continues transforming AI-powered technology into real-world value, empowering consumers worldwide to embrace a more intelligent and accessible future.

About TECNO

As a global innovative technology brand with operations in over 70 markets, TECNO has been committed to revolutionizing the digital experience in global emerging markets, relentlessly pushing for the perfect integration of contemporary, aesthetic design with the latest technologies and AI. TECNO offers a wide range of smartphones, smart wearables, laptops and tablets, smart gaming, HiOS operating systems and smart home products. Guided by its brand essence of “Stop At Nothing”, TECNO is committed to unlocking the newest technologies and AI-powered new experiences for forward-looking individuals, inspiring them to never stop pursuing their best selves and their best futures.
