Mouser's AI Strategy Takes Center Stage at COMPUTEX 2026

TAIPEI – May 27, 2026 – As the global technology industry converges on Taipei for COMPUTEX 2026, global distributor Mouser Electronics is making a definitive statement on the future of artificial intelligence. Under the event's banner of "AI Together," the company is not only showcasing a vast portfolio of AI-enabling components but is also debuting M-bot, a proprietary AI-powered robot designed to redefine customer interaction on the trade show floor.

From June 2–5, at booth #J1105a in the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Mouser will be joined by industry-leading partners KYOCERA AVX, Renesas Electronics, ROHM Semiconductor, and Würth Elektronik. The collaborative exhibit aims to provide a comprehensive look at the hardware foundation—from power management to connectivity—that is making the AI revolution possible.

"AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, driving intelligence and digitalization across semiconductors, smart manufacturing, and consumer electronics," said Daphne Tien, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Mouser APAC. "Under this year's COMPUTEX theme, 'AI Together,' global technology leaders are gathering to shape the next chapter of AI innovation. We are proud to join this premier event, and together with our partners, we look forward to showcasing the latest AI and smart technology solutions at our booth."

The Human-AI Interface: M-bot Redefines Engagement

The centerpiece of Mouser's exhibit is the debut of M-bot, an AI-powered voice-interaction robot. This is not merely a trade show novelty; it represents a tangible application of Mouser's long-term strategy to integrate AI into its customer service and support infrastructure. The M-bot, capable of natural conversations in both Chinese and English, allows attendees to bypass traditional search methods. Using simple voice commands, visitors can instantly access detailed product information, check real-time inventory and pricing, and get shipping status directly from Mouser's extensive online catalog.

Beyond transactional inquiries, M-bot is engineered to provide substantive technical support. It can offer recommendations on component selection for specific application needs and field technical questions, creating a seamless, one-stop intelligent service experience. This move aligns with a broader industry trend where B2B distributors are evolving from simple product suppliers to indispensable technical partners. By deploying a physical, interactive AI assistant, Mouser is exploring how to enhance engagement and provide immediate, high-value support in a dynamic environment like COMPUTEX. This initiative builds upon the company's established "Empowering Innovation Together" educational series, which has increasingly focused on demystifying AI for design engineers.

Powering the Megawatt AI Revolution

While M-bot provides a glimpse into AI-driven customer interaction, Mouser's partners are showcasing the critical hardware that powers the AI industry's insatiable demand for computational power. The exponential growth of AI models has created a significant challenge: energy consumption. AI data centers are now being designed on a megawatt scale, and the focus has shifted dramatically toward power efficiency and thermal management.

ROHM Semiconductor and Renesas Electronics are at the forefront of this shift, displaying solutions essential for next-generation AI data centers. ROHM is presenting its 50V Power Shelf solution and a next-generation High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) architecture, both designed for the extreme power density requirements of modern AI servers. These systems rely on a combination of advanced power devices, including Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) MOSFETs, which offer significantly lower energy losses and superior thermal performance compared to traditional silicon. ROHM's full-stack power solutions are critical for enabling the industry's move toward 800V power architectures, a necessary step to efficiently power 1 MW-class AI computing clusters.

Similarly, Renesas is highlighting its 800V-to-48V and 800V-to-12V power conversion solutions, which support the latest M-CRPS reference designs for cloud infrastructure. By centralizing power conversion and using higher voltages for distribution, these architectures minimize energy loss, reduce the amount of copper needed, and allow for denser, more powerful server racks, directly addressing the core challenges of scaling AI hardware sustainably.

The Foundational Ecosystem: From Edge to Enterprise

The AI story extends far beyond the data center, and the breadth of components on display at the Mouser booth illustrates the technology's pervasive reach. AI is being embedded in everything from factory robots to autonomous vehicles and smart sensors, each with unique hardware requirements.

Renesas is also showcasing its edge AI platform, which integrates TOPPAN's hybrid Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensing technology. This combination enables fast and accurate obstacle detection for outdoor Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), a critical capability for logistics and industrial automation. This demonstrates the move to process AI data locally on the device, or "at the edge," reducing latency and reliance on cloud connectivity.

KYOCERA AVX is addressing the needs of Industry 4.0 and robotics with its portfolio of high-reliability connectors, antennas, and passive components. Its supercapacitors provide crucial power backup and energy harvesting solutions for intermittently powered devices, while its diverse antenna lineup ensures robust connectivity for IoT and edge AI applications using standards like LTE-M and NB-IoT. Furthermore, its specialized capacitors are vital for filtering electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring the signal integrity and stability of complex electronic systems operating in noisy industrial environments.

Rounding out the foundational layer, Würth Elektronik is featuring a range of essential magnetic and passive components. Products like the WE-CMB common-mode power chokes and WCAP-ATG5 aluminum electrolytic capacitors are the unsung heroes of AI hardware. They ensure clean, stable power delivery and prevent interference, which is fundamental to the reliable operation of any high-performance computing system, from an AI server rack to an industrial automation controller. Together, these components form the bedrock upon which the entire AI software and services ecosystem is built, highlighting the collaborative nature of modern technological advancement.
