SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future

Published

on

Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.

The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.

In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.

The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.

AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.

Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.

AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.

Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.

On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.

Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and  IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.

As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AI​industry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.

The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.

What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

Forge: Advancing the Future of Travel Security

Published

on

United States, 6th Mar 2026, – As global travel continues to expand, luggage security has evolved far beyond simply locking a suitcase. Modern travelers expect reliability, transparency, durability, and solutions that continue to perform as travel environments and standards evolve.

Forge is a U.S.-based travel security brand headquartered in Texas. Founded in 2015, Forge has focused exclusively on TSA-approved luggage locks and travel security solutions, building its reputation through long-term product performance rather than short-term trends. Over the past decade, Forge TSA locks have been trusted by millions of travelers across the United States, establishing the brand as a consistent and dependable presence in the travel accessories market.

Forge believes that true travel security is achieved through continuous improvement, not static design.

Built on Forward-Looking Technology

Forge is committed to staying at the forefront of travel security technology. As TSA standards and traveler expectations continue to evolve, Forge actively adopts newer-generation locking systems and design improvements, ensuring that customers are not purchasing outdated solutions.

While many products on the market still rely on legacy mechanisms, Forge continues to move forward with more advanced systems, improved usability, and enhanced feedback features. This forward-looking approach allows travelers to choose Forge with confidence, knowing their security solution is designed for today’s and tomorrow’s travel environments, not aging designs.

This commitment ensures long-term relevance, reliability, and peace of mind.

Designed for Real-World Travel

One of Forge’s most recognized innovations is its visual TSA inspection indicator. When a lock is opened by a TSA master key during airport screening, a visible red indicator appears and remains in place until the traveler unlocks the lock using their personal combination. This feature provides immediate transparency and allows travelers to quickly confirm whether their luggage has been inspected.

Forge TSA locks are engineered with zinc alloy bodies and corrosion-resistant internal components, designed to withstand frequent baggage handling, impacts, and repeated travel. High-contrast combination dials improve readability in low-light environments such as baggage claim areas or hotel rooms, enhancing usability without compromising security.

Every design choice is guided by real travel conditions—not cosmetic trends.

A Complete TSA Lock Ecosystem

Beyond individual products, Forge offers a comprehensive portfolio of TSA-approved locks, designed to meet different travel needs, luggage types, and usage scenarios.

The Forge lineup includes multiple lock sizes, shackle and cable configurations, and form factors suitable for carry-on luggage, checked suitcases, backpacks, duffel bags, and specialty travel cases. By maintaining a full product ecosystem rather than relying on a single lock model, Forge enables travelers to choose the right level of security and usability for each trip.

Forge recognizes that travel security is not one-size-fits-all, and designs its products accordingly—without compromising TSA compliance or long-term reliability.

Innovation Driven by Real Traveler Pain Points

Forge’s innovation process is driven by real-world traveler feedback and common pain points encountered during travel. Rather than adding features for the sake of complexity, Forge focuses on solving practical problems that travelers repeatedly experience.

One frequent concern is forgetting a combination code. To address this, Forge introduced dual-access lock designs that combine a resettable combination with a backup key option. This design preserves the convenience of combination locks while offering an additional recovery solution, reducing frustration and eliminating the risk of being permanently locked out.

By continuously identifying and addressing real-use challenges, Forge regularly introduces new products and design improvements that enhance usability while maintaining strong security standards.

Introducing Forge Lost & Found ID: A Deeper Layer of Protection

Recognizing that physical locks alone do not address every travel risk, Forge has introduced Forge Lost & Found ID (Forge ID)—an innovative product line designed to work alongside Forge locks and add an extra layer of security.

Forge ID helps increase the chances of luggage being returned if it is lost or misplaced, extending protection beyond prevention and into recovery. Together, Forge locks and Forge ID form a more complete travel security system that reduces uncertainty and stress for travelers.

Commitment to Long-Term Quality

Forge products are supported by clearly stated, long-term warranty coverage and U.S.-based customer support. The brand’s philosophy emphasizes long-term trust: travel security solutions should perform consistently over time and adapt as traveler needs evolve.

While many brands focus on short-term cost reduction or limited offerings, Forge remains dedicated to long-term reliability, system-level security, and traveler-first design.

About Forge

Forge is a U.S.-based travel security brand headquartered in Texas, specializing in TSA-approved luggage locks and travel security solutions. Founded in 2015, Forge is committed to developing forward-looking, durable, and user-focused products designed for real-world travel. All Forge products are backed by long-term warranty coverage and dedicated U.S.-based customer support.

Kingbull Hunter 2.0S: Upgraded 750W Long-Range Fat-Tire E-Bike Now Only $899 Spring Sale Price

Published

on

Kingbull has launched the Kingbull Hunter 2.0S, an upgraded evolution of its established Hunter 2.0 platform, combining extended battery capacity, enhanced electronic control features, and improved rider visibility at a spring promotional price of $899. Positioned within the value-focused segment of the fat-tire electric mountain bike category, the Hunter 2.0S builds upon the original model’s all-terrain foundation while introducing targeted refinements designed for longer rides and improved urban usability.

Larger 48V 18Ah Battery, Added Cruise Control, and Integrated Turn Signals

The most notable upgrade in the Hunter 2.0S is its 48V 18Ah lithium battery system, increasing total energy capacity over the previous generation and positioning the model for extended-distance commuting and recreational riding. While real-world range varies depending on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and riding style, the higher-capacity configuration is engineered to reduce charging frequency and support longer continuous outings. Charging is supported via a 54.6V 2A charger.

The Hunter 2.0S also introduces an integrated cruise control function. When the throttle is held steadily for approximately 10 seconds, the system maintains consistent speed without continued throttle engagement, helping reduce rider fatigue during longer, uninterrupted stretches of riding.

Additionally, integrated turn signals have been added to enhance visibility and communication in traffic environments. This refinement improves the bike’s practicality for urban commuting while maintaining its off-road versatility.

 

750W Rear Hub Motor with Multi-Level Speed Control

Power delivery is managed by a 48V 750W spoked rear hub motor integrated into a 26-inch wheel platform. Riders can select from five calibrated pedal-assist levels—6, 9, 16, 22, and 28 mph—allowing adaptable output across varying terrain and road conditions.

A throttle provides on-demand acceleration, and the system’s left-mounted 12-magnet dual Hall pedal assist sensor ensures responsive engagement during pedaling.

Ride data is displayed through a center-mounted color LCD interface designed for clear visibility in varying light conditions.

A Shimano 7-speed drivetrain provides mechanical gear selection across varying gradients.

Hydraulic disc brakes with integrated motor cutoff are installed on both sides. When braking is applied, motor output is immediately disengaged to enhance operational control.

The integrated lighting system includes a front headlight with a horn and a rear running light with brake light function, controlled through a 2-in-1 handlebar switch. 

26” × 4.0 Fat Tires for Multi-Surface Stability

The Hunter 2.0S utilizes 26” × 4.0 CST snow-rated tires engineered to increase surface contact across unstable terrain. The wide-profile configuration supports traction on snow, sand, gravel, and loose dirt while contributing to stability during cargo use.

Suspension, Drivetrain, and Integrated Safety Systems

Front suspension is provided by a 26-inch suspension fork with an aluminum crown and a mechanical lockout function. The lockout mechanism allows riders to reduce fork compression when transitioning to paved roads, improving pedaling efficiency.

 

Frame Structure and Utility Integration

The Hunter 2.0S is constructed on a high-carbon steel frame compatible with 26” × 4.0” tire geometry. The structural design emphasizes durability and load stability for everyday commuting and light cargo applications.

A high-carbon steel rear cargo rack is included as standard equipment, expanding practical utility for transport needs.

With a net weight of approximately 77 lbs and a gross shipping weight of approximately 99 lbs, the Hunter 2.0S balances robust construction with manageable handling within the fat-tire category.

About KingbullBike

Kingbull is a well-known brand in the fat-tire e-bike space, dedicated to building electric bikes that perform as confidently in daily city commuting as they do on rugged trails and mountain e-bike adventures.

All Kingbull bikes feature 4-inch fat tires and suspension systems designed to handle a wide variety of terrain comfortably. The Forge Series stands out with premium build quality and high-end components from established brands such as Samsung, Tektro, and BAFANG.

With prices starting at $789, the lineup includes folding, commuter, full-suspension, and cargo models designed to accommodate different rider needs. To date, more than 20,000 riders have chosen Kingbull products. The brand has received over 3,180 customer reviews, maintaining an average rating of 4.89 out of 5.0.

Industry Disruption – IKAPE Unveils K2 PRO Defining Professional Standards for the Mobile Cafe

Published

on

As the global home appliance market shifts toward professional-grade portability, IKAPE officially launches the K2 PRO Portable Espresso Machine. Featuring 58mm commercial basket compatibility, 20-bar constant pressure and smart app integration, the K2 PRO fills a critical gap for high-quality Espresso in outdoor and travel settings.

IKAPE, a leading innovator in premium coffee equipment, has announced the global release of its flagship K2 PRO Portable Espresso Machine. In a market saturated with standard home appliances, consumers are increasingly gravitating toward “Extravagant Camping” and “High-Performance Mobile Office” gear. The K2 PRO represents a quantum leap in portable performance, challenging the dominance of traditional countertop machines.

Market Insight: The “Professional Decentralization” of Home Appliances

In 2026, the global small appliance market is witnessing a profound shift toward “scenario-agnostic” utility. Market research indicates that over 60% of coffee consumers are no longer satisfied with brewing exclusively in their kitchens. With the rise of the Digital Nomad culture, demand for Portable Espresso Machines is surging at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%.

However, traditional portable devices often compromise on pressure stability and basket size. “Coffee lovers have long endured ‘compromised coffee’ while traveling,” stated the founder of IKAPE. “The K2 PRO’s mission is to shatter the stereotypes of ‘insufficient pressure’ and ‘uneven extraction’ associated with portable gear, truly delivering a professional cafe in users’ pocket.”

IKAPE K2 PRO: Three Core Technical Breakthroughs

  1. Industry-First 58mm Commercial Compatibility
    Most portable machines utilize proprietary small-diameter baskets, which result in excessive puck height and “channeling.” The IKAPE K2 PRO’s primary breakthrough is its full compatibility with 58mm standard commercial baskets. This allows users to utilize professional-grade distributors and tampers. The wider, shallower puck ensures uniform water distribution, resulting in a balanced extraction with the rich crema typically reserved for commercial machines.
  2. 20-Bar Intelligent Constant Pressure & Pre-Infusion
    Equipped with a new generation of micro-pump technology, the K2 PRO delivers a stable 20-bar output. Crucially, it features a Smart Pre-infusion cycle (3–5 seconds). By saturating the coffee puck at low pressure before full extraction, it prevents “spurting” and ensures a consistent, high-TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) yield in every shot.
  3. 13500mAh Endurance & Smart Ecosystem Integration
    Addressing the pain points of outdoor power, the K2 PRO houses a 13500mAh automotive-grade lithium battery, supporting rapid heating from cold water. Through the Happygo Cera Bluetooth App, users can precisely calibrate extraction temperature and duration, and even customize extraction curves. This fusion of hardware and software targets the growing “Smart Home Appliance” preference among Gen Z and Millennial hobbyists.

Solving Scenarios: A Borderless Specialty Coffee Experience

The design logic of the IKAPE K2 PRO is rooted in “Borderless Living”:

Outdoor Enthusiasts: At altitudes of 4,000 meters, the K2 PRO can heat water to 92°C (197.6°F) and complete extraction in minutes.

Business Travelers: Replace mediocre hotel pod machines. Weighing just 0.82kg, the K2 PRO is the essential “coffee companion” for the modern professional.

Urban Space Optimization: For metropolitan dwellers with limited counter space, the K2 PRO provides a compact alternative to bulky semi-automatics without sacrificing shot quality.

About IKAPE

IKAPE is a pioneer in high-end manual and portable electric coffee maker equipment and coffee accessories. Merging “Extreme Parameters” with “Minimalist Aesthetics,” IKAPE is dedicated to providing global coffee geeks with professional, full-link extraction solutions.
