HUAYAN ROBOTICS TO SHOWCASE HUMANOID ROBOTIC ARM AT ROBOTWORLD 2026
The company will exhibit at the KINTEX exhibition centre and will also display core motion components for embodied artificial intelligence (AI), the technology that allows robots to sense and act in the physical world.
The robotic arm is designed for integration into humanoid and other embodied robotic platforms, combining force control in every joint with internal cable routing and native support for the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2). Its open development interfaces allow developers to connect it with other hardware and software systems.
According to the company in a statement, the components on show include humanoid joint modules, frameless motors and high-precision XYZ motion stages.
The welding system is built around the company’s E12-Pro collaborative robot, which has a 1.8-metre reach, and includes a dual-axis positioner to improve access to large and complex workpieces. Laser seam tracking and automatic path correction help produce consistent welds along complex seams while reducing manual adjustments.
For palletising, the company’s S Series robots can handle payloads of up to 60-kilogramme. They feature vision-assisted positioning and configurable pallet patterns, and are aimed at consumer goods manufacturing, food processing and warehouse logistics.
Huayan’s Elfin and Elfin-Pro collaborative robots automate the loading and unloading of computer numerical control (CNC) machines, with a maximum reach of 1.8 metres and protection ratings of up to IP66. The company said they can improve cycle times by up to 50 per cent.
Huayan Robotics develops collaborative robots, motion components and embodied AI systems, serving customers in more than 50 countries and regions.

Bitget Upgrades Stock Dual Investment with VETA Finance for Tokenized U.S. Equities
Stock Dual Investment lets users earn yield on USDT or eligible tokenized U.S. Equities over a fixed investment period, with settlement determined by a predefined target price and the assets's market performance at maturity. Current underlying assets include rNVDA, rGOOGL and rAMD, providing exposure to tokenized equities linked to NVIDIA, Alphabet, and AMD.
Buy Low allows users to subscribe with USDT and pick a target price for an eligible rToken. If the settlement price at maturity is at or below the target price, the investment is converted into the corresponding rToken at the predetermined price. Otherwise, users receive their principal and accrued yield in USDT. This strategy is designed for users looking to accumulate tokenized equities at a chosen price while earning yield during the investment period.
Sell High allows users to subscribe with an eligible rToken and pick a target price to sell. If the settlement price at maturity is at or above the target price, the investment is converted into USDT at a predetermined price. Otherwise, users retain their rToken principal and receive the applicable yield. This strategy is designed for holders waiting to sell at a selected price while earning yield on their existing positions.
"Investors often have a price in mind at which they would buy more or take profits. Stock Dual Investment, lets them earn yield while working toward those targets.That is our UEX vision of bringing crypto and traditional assets together with more ways to put them to work," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.
This product is offered in partnership with VETA Finance, a structured-product infrastructure provider focused on digital assets and tokenized markets. Since 2022, VETA Finance has provided end-to-end solutions for trading platforms, asset managers, and wealth-management providers, spanning product structuring, pricing, hedging, execution, and settlement.
Daniel Yu, Founder of VETA Finance, said: "Tokenization solved how equities get on-chain. Structured products solve how those assets are retained and how they generate yield. We are delighted to join Bitget's rToken ecosystem as a first-batch quoting vendor and bring the pricing, hedging and lifecycle management capabilities we have built in crypto structured products to tokenized US stocks in full. Dual Investment is only the first step. Together with Bitget, we intend to turn every tokenized US stock into a complete product line."
By extending Dual Investment to tokenized U.S equities, Bitget is bringing structured investment strategies traditionally associated with financial markets into its unified digital ecosystem. Users can deploy stablecoins or eligible rTokens through a single platform, creating additional opportunities to manage their exposure to tokenized equities without navigating separate trading environments. The launch further advances Bitget's Universal Exchange vision by expanding how users can access and utilize both crypto and tokenized traditional financial assets.

RISO Unveils Energy-Saving High-Speed Inkjet Printers
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- RISO Kagaku Corporation (RISO) has launched the ComColor GN Series, its latest lineup of ultra-high-speed full-colour inkjet printers designed for transactional documents such as invoices, manuals and envelope mailings.
RISO in a statement said the series combines its heatless, oil-based pigment ink technology with high-volume production capabilities to boost productivity without compromising print quality or sustainability.
The flagship ComColor GN9830 prints at up to 180 single-sided pages per minute. Fixed in-line printheads ensure continuous paper feeding, while faster start-up, cleaning and sleep recovery, along with optional high-speed scanning, speed up printing workflows.
Unlike laser printers, which use heat and pressure, the series uses a heatless process that prevents paper from curling. This keeps sheets flat for stable double-sided printing and allows automatic sorting, stapling and booklet binding.
Newly formulated ink and upgraded printheads expand the colour range, while improved paper handling and precise ink placement produce sharper images, barcodes and text across various paper types, including envelopes and postcards.
The heatless process also lowers weekly energy consumption, and the main unit contains 15 per cent recycled plastic resin, three times more than previous models, reducing its lifecycle carbon emissions, the company said. Users can track estimated carbon dioxide reductions on the printer’s touch screen.
Founded in Tokyo in 1946 as a mimeograph business, RISO marked its 80th anniversary in September. Its products, including digital duplicators and VALEZUS production printers, are used in more than 190 countries and regions.

![]() |
| EmeraNova seeks partners around the world to bring promising technologies to market quickly and equip clinicians with advanced, effective solutions. |
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- BioLab Holdings has rebranded as EmeraNova, as it widens its focus from chronic wound care to tissue restoration across medical specialities, healing phases and care settings.
The company said the new corporate identity reflects its plan to build a global platform that identifies promising technologies and speeds up their path into clinical practice. The name combines emerging (Emer) and new (Nova), reflecting its aim to pursue new technologies.
“BioLab was built on a commitment to improve patients’ lives. With EmeraNova, we are widening that lens,” said EmeraNova President and Chief Executive Officer, Jaime Leija in a statement.
He said the company was looking at technologies around the world to create a more connected ecosystem of care and bring the right innovations to clinicians and patients faster.
EmeraNova said it aims to expand into new care settings, including acute care and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), while continuing to serve outpatient and mobile wound clinics and to supply its existing amniotic membrane products.
It also hopes to broaden its clinical applications into surgery, sports medicine, vascular care and aesthetics, and to take its products overseas through international commercialisation partnerships.
EmeraNova organises its products into eight areas, namely Assess & Differentiate, Diagnose, Debride, Control, Prepare, Restore & Regenerate, Reassess, and Remodel Tissue. Across these categories, it is seeking partners worldwide to bring promising technologies to market quickly.
The company said its clinical research covers multiple products, with four clinical trials and three published, peer-reviewed retrospective studies run in 2026.
EmeraNova will present its new brand at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) in Las Vegas from Oct 16 to 18.

Axi Rebrands Across 100+ Markets, Designed by Properly Studio
WARSAW, Poland, Oct 16 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axi, a global online trading brand with a presence across multiple markets, wanted a brand that was "globally consistent and locally connected", and adaptable to the requirements of different markets and jurisdictions. Properly Studio designed an identity that adapts market by market, and a site that shifts by jurisdiction.
Axi calls the result an evolution: the logo and the red stay, everything else changed, up to a globally scalable character system. Properly grouped Axi's markets into four regions, APAC, Middle East, Europe and South America, each with its own landscapes and personas.
The imagery came from a custom AI-assisted production workflow built for Axi and finished by hand, in place of a hundred separate photoshoots. The same persona steps from a banner into an animation or a new market without booking a crew or reshooting a frame. It carries into the Axi app, the client portal and Axi Select, a programme available only in certain jurisdictions and not available to EU residents.
Full case study: properly.studio/case-study/axi. The designers write it up at properly.studio/blog.
"The challenge was never the look. It was building a brand identity that adapts to every market and jurisdiction, from what it shows to what it's allowed to say," said Mateusz Piątek, Co-Founder at Properly Studio.
"Entrusting our brand refresh to an outside team was a big decision as it's something deeply personal to us. But choosing Properly was absolutely the right call," said Julie Sharova, Global Head of Marketing at Axi. "Their dedication and focus were never in doubt, and the result speaks for itself. If we had to do it all over again, we'd choose Properly without hesitation."
About Properly Studio
Properly Studio is a Warsaw-based design partner for modern finance: fintech branding, brand localization, product design, design systems. Six years in, 100+ projects for clients including Axi, Sky and NDAX, whose products manage $15 billion in assets. properly.studio

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES FOUR EFUSE ICS FOR LOW-VOLTAGE POWER PROTECTION

Toshiba: TCKE5 Series of small-package eFuse ICs supporting 1.7V low-voltage operation.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba), a supplier of advanced semiconductor and storage solutions, has launched four electronic fuses (eFuse ICs) under its TCKE5 Series, integrating multiple functions to protect power supply lines.
The new products operate over an input voltage range of 1.7 volts (V) to 5.5V and are housed in the compact SOT-353F (UFV) package. The lineup comprises four models: “TCKE501UA”, “TCKE501UL”, “TCKE502UA” and “TCKE502UL.” Shipments began on Oct 12.
According to Toshiba in a statement, the TCKE5 Series is the first in its eFuse IC lineup to support 1.8V power lines, making it suitable for low-voltage applications, including Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.
As electronic devices become smaller, more functional, and less power-intensive, demand for low-voltage power supplies has increased. Protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions is also essential to improve the reliability of low-voltage power lines.
The series comes in a compact, low-profile package that reduces printed circuit board (PCB) mounting area, supporting space-saving, high-density designs for wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Alongside the short-circuit protection offered by physical fuses, such as glass tube and chip current fuses, the TCKE5 Series features overcurrent protection that shuts off output when excessive current is detected.
The overcurrent protection function also includes a mask time to help prevent unnecessary shutdowns caused by transient peak currents, thus protecting downstream circuits and improving system safety and reliability.
The lineup includes auto-retry models, which automatically restore circuit operation, and latch-type models, which require an external signal to recover. Different slew-rate settings are also available to meet power sequencing requirements.
Toshiba said it would continue expanding its eFuse IC lineup to support a wider range of equipment.
