j-mex and Techman Robot Join Forces at the Smart Taichung Forum Launch Press Conference
Showcasing Motion Intelligence and Teleoperation Technologies to Advance Physical AI and Smart City Innovation
TAICHUNG, Taiwan — July 16, 2026 — The launch press conference for the 2026 Smart Taichung Forum was held today, marking the official countdown to the main forum scheduled for August 26, 2026. Jointly organized by the Digital Development Bureau of Taichung City Government and Tunghai University, the forum will bring together leaders from government, academia and industry to explore the future of Physical AI, autonomous robotics and smart city transformation.
j-mex Inc. and Techman Robot were honored to participate as technology partners for the launch ceremony, jointly presenting an interactive Physical AI demonstration that integrated full-body motion capture, human-to-robot motion mapping and real-time teleoperation.
The collaboration demonstrated how precise human movements can be translated into responsive robot actions, highlighting the potential of Taiwan-developed technologies to accelerate innovation in intelligent robotics, human-robot collaboration and smart city applications.
Turning Human Motion into Robot Intelligence
j-mex is a leading Taiwan-based provider of sensing technologies and motion capture solutions, with nearly two decades of experience in MEMS inertial sensing, full-body IMU motion capture, sports science and digital human applications.
Powered by proprietary sensor fusion algorithms and multi-joint motion tracking technology, the j-mex motion capture system achieves an orientation tracking error of less than 2 degrees, enabling precise reconstruction of complex full-body movements.
Unlike conventional robot teaching methods that primarily focus on the position and orientation of the end effector, j-mex captures coordinated motion across multiple human joints. This helps preserve the natural movement patterns, posture and operational intent behind human demonstrations, providing richer information for robot control and AI training.
Through its independently developed Human-to-Robot Motion Retargeting technology, j-mex can map human movements onto collaborative robots and humanoid robots in real time. Subtle human actions can therefore be transformed into high-quality robot demonstration data, supporting teleoperation, imitation learning and the transition of robotic intelligence from simulation to real-world deployment.
j-mex and Techman Robot Demonstrate Real-Time Teleoperation
At the launch press conference, j-mex and Techman Robot jointly demonstrated an advanced real-time teleoperation application.
The j-mex motion capture system tracked the operator’s movements and transmitted the motion data to the Techman collaborative robot through a parameterized robot-joint mapping framework. The robot responded in real time, translating human intent into smooth and coordinated robotic actions.
During the closing ceremony, the collaborative robot presented an invitation to Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen and interacted with her through a handshake. The demonstration offered a vivid example of how Physical AI can connect sensing, intelligence and physical action to create more intuitive forms of human-robot interaction.
The ceremony concluded as government, academic and industry representatives jointly activated the launch sphere, officially opening the countdown to the 2026 Smart Taichung Forum.
Advancing Physical AI through the NVIDIA Ecosystem
As a member of the NVIDIA Connect Program, j-mex continues to strengthen its technology integration within the NVIDIA ecosystem and advance the development of Motion Intelligence, teleoperation, humanoid robotics and Physical AI.
By combining high-precision human motion capture, motion retargeting, robot control and AI training workflows, j-mex is building a comprehensive technology pipeline:
Human Motion → Motion Retargeting → Robot Demonstration Data → AI Training
This pipeline provides high-fidelity motion data for imitation learning and robot training, helping developers shorten development cycles and accelerate the deployment of intelligent robots in real-world environments.
Building the Future of Smart Cities and Intelligent Robotics
As Physical AI becomes an increasingly important direction in global AI development, the ability to perceive, understand and reproduce human actions will be essential to the next generation of intelligent robots.
Through its collaboration with Techman Robot at the Smart Taichung Forum launch press conference, j-mex demonstrated how Motion Intelligence can enable robots to interact with people more naturally and perform physical tasks with greater flexibility.
j-mex will continue working with government agencies, academic institutions and industry partners to advance Motion Intelligence and Physical AI technologies. By connecting human expertise with robot learning, the company aims to accelerate practical applications across smart manufacturing, human-robot collaboration, humanoid robotics and smart cities.
The official 2026 Smart Taichung Forum will take place on August 26, 2026, at the Taichung City Government Municipal Building.
