In this episode of the Electromaker Show, Ian takes you on a fast tour through Embedded World 2026, covering the interviews, demos, and products that stood out most on the show floor. From the new Arduino Ventuno Q and native Zephyr on Arduino Nano Matter, to Nordic's in-house Edge AI tools, Bluetooth channel sounding, and satellite-connected nRF9151 demos, this episode covers a wide spread of embedded tech in one place. At the event we stopped by Silicon Labs, D-Robotics, JetBrains, Texas Instruments, DFRobot, and Epishine to look at robotics platforms, AI-enabled IDEs, sensor demos, x86 single board computers, and indoor solar energy harvesting. If you want a sharp overview of what mattered at Embedded World 2026, this is the place to start.
