Qualcomm Accelerates IoT, Automotive, & Robotics At CES 2026

Описание: In this TIRIAScast video interview, TIRIAS Research Principal Analyst Jim McGregor speaks with Nakul Duggal, Executive Vice President and Group General Manager at Qualcomm, to break down Qualcomm’s latest CES announcements and what they signal for the future of automotive, robotics, and physical AI. Join us for insights into how Qualcomm is shaping edge AI, AI-defined vehicles, robotics, and embedded intelligence across industries.

The discussion examines how software-defined vehicles are rapidly evolving into AI-defined, with edge AI now being deployed at scale across the automotive industry. Nakul highlights Qualcomm’s expanding automotive partnerships, including collaborations with BMW and Volkswagen, and explains how Qualcomm enables both agentic AI experiences in the cockpit and physical AI for ADAS and autonomy, supported by a highly scalable compute roadmap spanning cost-sensitive entry vehicles to premium and luxury platforms.

Beyond automotive, Nakul outlines Qualcomm’s vision for robotics and physical AI through skill-based robots. Once a robot learns a task, it becomes a reusable, portable skill, unlocking long-term returns on AI skill investment via a generic, scalable platform. This is demonstrated by Qualcomm’s humanoid robot, “Paul,” which was designed and built in just four months and runs multiple AI models concurrently on a single Qualcomm chip.
