At IBC 2026, SDMC showcased cloud-edge intelligence, Edge AI devices, ecosystem collaboration, and Physical AI exploration—highlighting a practical path from AI innovation to deployable AI Home services.
Advancing Physical AI through Google Cloud Collaboration
The show marked a new step in SDMC’s Physical AI exploration following selection for Google Cloud’s Proactive Physical AI Acceleration Program.
Through the program, SDMC is advancing technical validation and service pilots with global operators across home entertainment, home security, and other emerging scenarios.
Cloud-Edge Intelligence: From Understanding to Action
Combining multimodal intelligence with shared edge compute allows AI Home services to better understand home context while handling more AI workloads locally. Multimodal Intelligence with Cedar
SDMC also demonstrated Cedar Avatar, bringing the Cedar multimodal AI model and Cedar Agent in an interactive AI Home experience.
Built on Google’s Gemma open model and developed within the broader Google AI ecosystem, Cedar model designed as a compact, resource-efficient edge model for multimodal context understanding and reasoning, while Cedar Agent coordinates actions across devices and services. For broader reasoning and cloud-scale services, Gemini complements edge intelligence in the cloud, forming a cloud-edge model architecture for AI Home. Shared Edge Compute with AI Station
AI Station provides a shared edge compute foundation for Cedar model and broader AI Home workloads, serving operators, small businesses, and premium households. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson T5000, it supports private knowledge retrieval, multimodal semantic search, and agent-driven execution across connected devices.
By sharing common compute resources across AI applications, AI Station reduces the need for every device to carry dedicated high-performance hardware while keeping latency- and privacy-sensitive workloads within the home.
Extending AI Across Home Experiences and Operations
Together with Amlogic, SDMC brought Edge AI to AI Home Display and AI Streaming Box, combining Amlogic SoC and NPU capabilities with SDMC’s system integration and AI application expertise.
AI Home Display brings together environmental awareness, AI assistance, and multi-device voice coordination, creating a more natural way to access AI Home services.
For home entertainment, AI Streaming Box uses NPU-accelerated Edge AI to enhance picture quality and voice clarity while supporting on-device AI services. SDMC also showcased the Google TV 4K Projector, extending entertainment from intelligent streaming to immersive large-screen viewing.
For home networks and devices, AI Operation enables faster diagnosis, proactive optimization, and more autonomous O&M. AI Fiber Gateway combines Wi-Fi 8, XGS-PON, and AI capabilities to further improve network performance and operational efficiency.
Turning AI Home Innovation into Deployable Services
By combining cloud intelligence, shared edge compute, and existing home ecosystems, SDMC enables operators to extend AI capabilities across existing devices and services without requiring every endpoint to carry dedicated high-performance hardware.
This creates a more flexible foundation for deploying AI Home services, helping operators move beyond connectivity toward differentiated home experiences, more efficient operations, and continuous service innovation.
Bringing Physical AI into the Home
SDMC continues to explore how Physical AI can extend intelligence from digital interaction into physical action at home—from connected home control and autonomous cleaning to emerging scenarios involving robotic arms and other forms of physical interaction.
Built on SDMC’s cloud-edge intelligence foundation, this ongoing exploration extends AI Home from understanding and decision-making toward real-world action, reflecting a continued focus on technologies shaping the next generation of AI Home experiences.
Looking ahead, SDMC will continue advancing AI Home innovation and ecosystem collaboration to create practical value for operators and households.
Beyond our progress in AI Home, SDMC (00901.HK) is now eligible for trading through HKEX Stock Connect, marking another milestone in the company's continued development.
