Namibox Unveils World’s First AI-Powered Learning Glasses, Set for December 31, 2025 Release – AI Powered Education Hardware Opens Up New Growth Curve

SHANGHAI, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Namibox, the flagship brand of Jinxin Technology Holding Company (NASDAQ: NAMI), announced today the global limited pre‑sale of the world’s first AI‑powered, education‑focused smart glasses, developed in partnership with MICROLUMIN. The product, set for release on December 31, 2025, is positioned within the mainstream price range for AI hardware worldwide and marks a strategic push into the burgeoning “AI + education” hardware sector.

Unlike general‑purpose wearable devices geared toward entertainment, the Namibox learning glasses employ a proprietary, education‑tuned AI algorithm engine to create what the company describes as an “intelligent learning layer” deeply integrated into real‑world study environments. In targeted trials, the glasses garnered strong approval from global student populations and lifelong learners, signaling a commercially viable breakthrough in applied AI for education.

At the core of the device is a dedicated large‑language model that assists users throughout the learning process. In lecture settings, its “Classroom Mode” generates structured notes in real time, allowing students to shift from passive note-taking to active classroom engagement. A memory‑consolidation algorithm identifies optimal intervals for review, aiming to maximize the value of fragmented study time. Additional features include a mini AR display for contextual information and real‑time multilingual interpretation, collectively designed to support an end‑to‑end learning ecosystem. The glasses also emphasize ergonomic design—lightweight construction and low‑blue‑light lenses—to reduce eye strain during extended use.

The launch comes amid accelerating global commercialization of AI technologies. By focusing squarely on the education vertical, Namibox is addressing a perceived market gap, leveraging what it claims are validated user needs and technical barriers honed through testing. The pre‑sale represents a key milestone in Jinxin Technology’s strategy to solidify leadership in smart education hardware, with analysts projecting a meaningful boost to the company’s revenue stream.

Industry observers note that successful adoption of the Namibox glasses could reinforce NAMI’s standing in the competitive ed‑tech space while injecting fresh momentum into the applied‑AI segment of U.S. equities. As AI continues to permeate everyday life, specialized hardware that enhances learning efficiency may well define the next growth curve for education technology.

Hesai Recognized as the Only Lidar Company on Morgan Stanley’s “Humanoid Tech 25” of Global Robotics Leaders

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hesai Technology (NASDAQ: HSAI; HKEX: 2525), a global leader in lidar solutions, has been named to Morgan Stanley’s “Humanoid Tech 25”, an exclusive list of the world’s 25 most influential robotics companies. Hesai is the only lidar company included on the shortlist, recognized for delivering critical 3D perception capabilities that enable real-world robotics applications. Other companies featured on the Humanoid Tech 25 list include industry leaders such as NVIDIA, AMD, Sony, Samsung, Onsemi, Horizon Robotics, and Baidu.

The Robotics Era has Already Arrived

The shortlist is supported by The Robot Almanac — Vol. 1, published by Morgan Stanley’s Global Embodied AI team. Authored by a cross-disciplinary group of analysts covering technology, automotive, industrials, and artificial intelligence, the report represents one of Wall Street’s first comprehensive, cross-industry analyses of AI’s transition from the digital to the physical world—ushering in what Morgan Stanley calls the era of embodied AI. Key projections from the report include:

  • Global robot hardware revenues reaching $25 trillion by 2050
  • 1.4 billion robots sold annually by 2050
  • Robotics emerging as the next major computing and industrial platform

The report states that robotics era is no longer theoretical—it is already underway. In physical-AI systems, reliable perception is foundational. Robots must be able to perceive and understand the real world with precision to operate safely and effectively.

Lidar as a Critical Enabler of Physical AI

Lidar plays a critical role in this transformation by delivering accurate, real-time 3D spatial perception across complex lighting and weather conditions—capabilities that are difficult to achieve with camera-only systems. As a result, the report highlights that supporting the perception needs of 1.4 billion robots by 2050 will require approximately 700 million lidar units, representing a nearly 300 times increase from 2025 levels.

Hesai Positioned to Lead the Robotics Lidar Industry

Morgan Stanley’s recognition reflects Hesai’s unique strengths across technology leadership, scalable manufacturing, and broad market adoption.

As the report notes, “Prototypes are easy. Scaling is hard.” In 2025, Hesai became the world’s first automotive lidar company to surpass 2 million cumulative deliveries, while ranking No. 1 in market share for ADAS main lidar for nine consecutive months [1]. The company’s success is built on its industry-leading manufacturing system and in-house R&D capabilities. Hesai has developed four generations of proprietary ASICs, enabling rapid product iteration, high reliability, and globally replicable production. Its fully automated production lines are capable of producing one lidar every 10 seconds.

This same scalability is now extending into robotics and industrial markets. Hesai’s JT-series mini 360° 3D robotics lidars have already received strong market-validation, surpassing 200,000 cumulative deliveries since launch. The JT series is trusted by leading players across robotics, industrial, logistics, and autonomous driving systems.

As robotics applications advance toward large-scale deployment across industries, Hesai remains committed to delivering safe, reliable, and high-performance lidar solutions. With proven technology, scalable manufacturing, and broad market adoption, Hesai is positioned to play a foundational role in powering the next generation of robotics and embodied AI.
