Innatera to showcase Pulsar at CES 2026

Innatera planned to showcase its Pulsar neuromorphic microcontroller at Customer Effort Score (CES) 2026, and the company said it would present real-device demonstrations and partner-built products spanning smart home, Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) (IIOT), wearables and healthcare.

The release described early deployment activity and growing developer support; Innatera began work with Joya, a global Original Design Manufacturer (ODM), to integrate Pulsar into upcoming lifestyle, IoT and smart home devices, while VLSI Expert incorporated Pulsar systems into education and upskilling programs as part of a developer initiative.

The company described Pulsar as designed for always-on sensing, combining Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), a RISC-V Central Processing Unit (CPU) and dedicated accelerators for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Data Stewardship Program (DSP) workloads, and enabling local, event-driven processing at microwatt-level power to support continuous intelligence without cloud dependency, latency or privacy concerns.

Partner demonstrations cited in the release included 42T using Pulsar for motor health monitoring to classify faults such as imbalance and misalignment, Aaroh Labs showing smoke-detection hardware with radar-based human presence detection, and CYRAN Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions demonstrating ultra-low-power gesture and interaction capabilities; Innatera also previewed radar-based presence detection with a Socionext module, audio scene recognition, IMU-based activity inference and a sensor-fusion roadmap.

“Innovation happens when you can see and fix problems before your customers ever feel them,” said Jon Spratley, CEO, 42T.

Joya said the collaboration was just beginning and that it planned to accelerate a new generation of Pulsar-powered products into the market through 2026 and beyond.
