On the opening day, Delta hosted a press conference and media tour, offering an in-depth look at the technologies behind its latest innovations. Lisa Kao, general manager of Delta Industrial Automation Business Group, stated, “AI is driving explosive demand across industries and fueling manufacturing growth. Smart manufacturing is also a critical foundation for meeting this demand. Delta focuses on robotics, electronics, semiconductors, and machinery industries, leveraging an AI-ready smart manufacturing architecture to enable decentralized manufacturing and centralized management for agile response to evolving needs.”
Highlights include the Robotics Solutions area, where the Embodied AI Dual-Arm Robot Platform makes its debut. The demonstration can draw portraits in chosen styles via voice commands, showcasing autonomy from task learning to execution that effectively enhances changeover efficiency. Delta's AI Robotic Control Platform, connecting diverse AI model inputs and equipment control of its modular robots, provides an AI-ready architecture that enables robots to autonomously perform inference, learning, and task execution. With ongoing refinement, the solution is poised to scale into intricate, high-precision applications like AI server assembly lines.
Delta's AI Robotic Control Platform enables flexible Embodied AI applications across multiple industries.
The Humanoid Dual-Arm Demonstration features high integration and a lightweight design. It balances high torque output, compact size, and motion precision. Lightweight joint modules are tailored for multi-degree-of-freedom applications on shoulders, elbows, wrists with a hollow-shaft design and integrated motor, driver, encoder, torque sensor, and functional safety. Patented built-in torque sensing technology measures external forces and contact torque in real-time, improving control precision, human-robot collaboration safety, and collision protection.
For the Smart Manufacturing Solutions area, Delta leverages AI to strengthen production line digital twins, enhancing simulation precision and efficiency from product assembly, production line design, and equipment verification to defect detection. This reduces tuning costs of line deployment and accelerates cross-regional replication, and has already been successfully deployed in Delta's Thailand plant for AI server power supply lines.
For Industry Solutions, Delta presents solutions for high-end electronics assembly such as AI servers and automotive electronics. The AI-Enabled Human-Machine Hybrid Line integrates AI vision analytics to prevent assembly errors and enable data acquisition in manual stations. In addition, the solution uses AI to optimize press-fit equipment yields, and the Inline Management Solution Line Manager to monitor key indicators and identify line bottlenecks.
Delta's digital twin validates everything from design to equipment commissioning prior to global deployment.
At Automation Taipei 2026, Delta showcased a broad range of smart manufacturing solutions that cover from advanced technologies to practicing intelligent automation for business at different stages of digitization to accelerate smart manufacturing upgrades.
Delta hosted seminars covering topics including embodied AI, digital twin and digital thread, drawing large crowd.
