Physical AI at the Edge: NODKA Showcases Embodied Intelligence Robot Controller at CES 2026 with Intel

Las Vegas, NV — CES 2026, NODKA’s Embodied Intelligence Robot Controller reference board is being showcased at CES 2026 in Intel’s Edge Computing booth at the Intel Technology Showcase.

As Physical AI moves artificial intelligence from digital environments into real-world interaction, edge computing platforms play a critical role in enabling real-time perception, reasoning, and control. At CES 2026, Intel is highlighting how Physical AI at the edge is shaping the future of robotics and intelligent machines. NODKA’s robot controller board is featured as a representative platform supporting this shift toward embodied intelligence, where AI directly

Built on the Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processor, NODKA’s controller integrates CPU, GPU, and NPU acceleration on a single platform to support low-latency AI inference, sensor fusion, and deterministic control at the edge. These capabilities are essential for Physical AI applications such as humanoid robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and intelligent controllers operating outside traditional data centers.

For software enablement, the platform is designed to work with Intel’s edge AI software ecosystem, including the Intel® Robotics AI Suite, which provides tools and frameworks for perception, AI inference, and robotics workloads at the edge.
