The leader of a major German chip manufacturer believes his company is positioned to capitalize on what could become a massive market for semiconductors designed for humanoid robots.
Jochen Hanebeck, who serves as CEO of Infineon Technologies, shared his optimistic outlook in an interview with German business publication Handelsblatt on Wednesday.
“This could become a growth market like the one today for high-performance semiconductors in AI data centres,” Hanebeck stated during the discussion.
The executive explained that his company is already equipped to manufacture numerous microchips suitable for human-like robots, drawing on expertise gained through their work in the autonomous vehicle sector. According to Hanebeck, this existing capability means Infineon would need minimal additional investment in new proprietary technology to enter the humanoid robot chip market.
The comments come as the robotics industry continues to advance, with several companies developing increasingly sophisticated humanoid robots for various commercial and industrial applications.
