CIOE Booth 6A41 | Maxic Technology Showcases Comprehensive Smart Sensor Portfolio Across Five Key Application Areas

On the opening day, Maxic’s booth attracted a large number of industry professionals. Key products—including dToF, optical tracking sensors, RGB + Flicker detection sensors, optical proximity sensors, and smart cockpit sensors—attracted strong interest from visitors. In the smart terminal showcase, scenario-based demonstrations featuring AI glasses and service robots attracted many visitors to experience the applications firsthand, with technical experts available throughout the day for in-depth discussions with customers. 

Competition in sensing is shifting from individual components to scenario-driven solutions.With the rapid deployment of embodied AI, on-device AI, autonomous driving, and precision industrial control, single-category sensors can no longer satisfy multi-dimensional requirements. Multi-sensor fusion, high precision, high integration, automotive-grade qualification, and low power consumption have become key drivers for product iteration. Maxic is embedding sensing capabilities into every application that interacts with the physical world.

Complete Closed Loop from Sensing to Actuation

Humanoid robots are moving from labs into diverse settings, including factories and homes. The focus of industry competition is shifting from basic mobility to reliable tasks completion and large-scale delivery. Industry research firms project that China’s humanoid robot market will reach RMB 15 billion in 2026, with the market expected to grow by at least 60% in 2027.

Maxic is building a portfolio of key components across the entire “Sensing–Decision–Actuation” pipeline for embodied AI. In the Sensing Layer, ambient light sensors detect changes in ambient lighting in real time, helping maintain clear and stable vision under challenging lighting such as strong backlighting or low-light. This enhances the environmental adaptability and visual reliability of smart devices.

ToF laser ranging sensors deliver high-accuracy distance measurement and real-time 3D modeling, enabling devices to achieve precise spatial understanding for accurate environmental sensing, dexterous interaction, and autonomous operation. Multimodal vision sensors integrate high-sensitivity dynamic vision capabilities to accurately identify object shapes, textures, and motion, while monitoring contact deformation in real time. These sensors enable applications such as eye tracking and visuo-tactile sensing for dexterous hands.

In the Actuation & Control Layer, magnetic sensors supply real-time position and angle feedback, helping ensure stable motion and reliable operation of smart devices. Maxic is developing high-precision magnetic encoders and motor driver ICs. Together, magnetic encoders and motor drivers form a complete “sensing + actuation” closed loop to meet the demands of precision motion control, including robot joint servo control and precision grasping with dexterous hands.

Multimodal Interactive Sensing Solutions

Following smartphones and smartwatches, smart glasses are emerging as a key hardware platform for AI agents by embedding compute and AI capabilities directly into wearables. Always-on and instantly responsive, smart glasses eliminate the need for a wake-up command or touch input, shifting interaction from user-initiated operation to proactive device sensing. Smart glasses are transforming AI from a tool into a companion, bringing everyday conversations, exploration, and learning into a new era of interaction.

Maxic’s smart sensing sensor ICs provide key sensing solutions for on-device AI devices, including optical knob interaction, wear detection, smart imaging, and eye tracking. Optical Tracking Sensors: Simultaneously detect knob rotation and press inputs to enable optical knob interaction for AI smart glasses and other devices. RGB + Flicker Sensors: Enable real-time display color temperature adjustment and eliminate camera flicker. Optical Proximity Sensors: Provide high-precision wear detection for portable devices. Multimodal Vision Sensors: Based on single-chip 4D image sensing technology and AI algorithms, these sensors can recognize eye-movement intent, mid-air gestures, and silent lip-reading interactions, providing a more natural and precise interaction interface for on-device AI devices.

Driving Differentiation via Higher Integration in Mature Markets

In established consumer electronics segments such as smartphones, smartwatches, TWS earbuds, and tablets, Maxic’s smart sensing sensors have achieved large-scale commercial deployment. Multiple products, including optical proximity sensors, optical tracking sensors, and RGB + Flicker sensors, have entered the supply chains of leading consumer electronics brands, with shipments continuing to ramp up.

As full-screen displays, thinner and lighter designs, and lower power consumption continue to drive product evolution, Maxic provides highly integrated sensing solutions to help customers deliver differentiated user experiences in mature markets.

From Automotive-Grade Chips to System-Level Solutions

Maxic has established a diversified portfolio of automotive-grade ICs covering automotive lighting, in-vehicle wireless charging, position sensors, active EMI filters (AEF), speed sensors, current sensors, and angle sensors. These products support a wide range of applications, including smart cockpits, vehicle brake monitoring, in-vehicle power supply, and automotive lighting.

Maxic has launched its first automotive-grade active EMI filter, offering overall advantages over conventional solutions in footprint, weight, temperature rise, cost, and reliability. In addition to automotive applications and EV charging stations, it can also be used in servers, telecommunications equipment, industrial servo systems, and photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems.

eliable "Sensing + Control" for Automation Upgrades

Industrial control is evolving from component-level performance improvements to competition in system-level efficiency and collaboration, making high-reliability sensing and control ICs essential for smart factories.

Maxic’s general-purpose magnetic sensors, motor drivers, residual current protection devices, and magnetic angle sensors have been successfully deployed in industrial automation equipment, precision specialty equipment, and industrial thermal management applications.

Looking ahead, Maxic will further expand into high-end motor drive applications, continue to enrich its industrial application ecosystem, and provide highly reliable sensing and control support for industrial automation and intelligent transformation.

Sensing is the starting point for intelligent devices to understand the physical world. From ambient light sensing and spatial ranging to optical tracking and precise angle sensing, Maxic is leveraging its comprehensive sensing portfolio—spanning Optical Sensing, ToF Laser Ranging, and Magnetic Sensing—to enable solutions across five key application areas: Embodied AI, On-Device AI, Consumer Electronics, Automotive Electronics, and Industrial Control. Together, these technologies enable a complete closed loop from sensing to control.
