ITRI will present a wide range of innovative applications integrating AI, robotics and digital health technology, as well as its Micro LED technology. ITRI’s Micro LED display features its "pixel area release" technology, integrating sensing functions between pixels and its brightness is adjusted automatically according to indoor/outdoor ambient light conditions. Furthermore, panel size can be defined freely, and maintenance expenses are largely saved. In 2019, ITRI developed fine pitch passive matrix micro-LED display modules by directly transferring μLED arrays onto PCB substrates.

Other featured products include two of the CES 2020 Innovation Awards Honoree. One is the PECOLA (Personal Companion for Older People Living Alone) robot, whose Ambient Intelligence Technology collects daily life and physiological data unnoticeably and analyzes lifestyle, sleep, diet, and physical activities as well as emotions with a high degree of specificity. It facilitates social interaction with caregivers and family and quickly detects abnormal behaviors in older adults--sending alerts for early treatment and accident prevention

The other award honorre is iStimUweaR, a health-assisting system that integrates TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) into fabrics. It intelligently evaluates body status and provides optimized stimulation for pain relief, self-massage, and personal healthcare improvement.

Other applications include WiFi Sleep Apnea Detection System; baby monitoring technology GenkiCam and mobile arm robot system (MARS). ITRI Cloud Gaming system and Mechavision Tactile Sensing technology.
