Visitors can explore automated guided vehicles, 3D machine vision systems and AI-powered applications at the show, along with a complete range of robots, it said.
Exhibits would cover industrial robots and robotic arms, defense and security robots, home-use robots, specialized robotics and educational robots.
Notable domestic participants include Asustek Computer Inc (華碩電腦), Delta Electronics Inc (台達電子), Teco Electric & Machinery Co (東元電機), Shihlin Electric & Engineering Corp (士林電機) and Advantech Co (研華), while international exhibitors would include Mitsubishi Electric Corp, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd, Fanuc Ltd, Denso Corp, Yaskawa Electric Corp, Epson Inc, Nachi-Fujikoshi Corp, Panasonic Corp, Igus GmbH and Siemens AG, the association said.
Delta Electronics in a separate statement said it is to showcase collaborative robots and AI sensor modules as part of its intelligent robotics solutions, along with smart integration systems designed for warehousing, logistics, semiconductor manufacturing and data center operations.
Meanwhile, Teco Electric said it would focus on key process control and high-efficiency smart motion applications, as well as power system solutions and drone motors.
Shiina Ito has had fewer Chinese customers at her Tokyo jewelry shop since Beijing issued a travel warning in the wake of a diplomatic spat, but she said she was not concerned. A souring of Tokyo-Beijing relations this month, following remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi about Taiwan, has fueled concerns about the impact on the ritzy boutiques, noodle joints and hotels where holidaymakers spend their cash. However, businesses in Tokyo largely shrugged off any anxiety. “Since there are fewer Chinese customers, it’s become a bit easier for Japanese shoppers to visit, so our sales haven’t really dropped,” Ito
The number of Taiwanese working in the US rose to a record high of 137,000 last year, driven largely by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co’s (TSMC, 台積電) rapid overseas expansion, according to government data released yesterday. A total of 666,000 Taiwanese nationals were employed abroad last year, an increase of 45,000 from 2023 and the highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic, data from the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) showed. Overseas employment had steadily increased between 2009 and 2019, peaking at 739,000, before plunging to 319,000 in 2021 amid US-China trade tensions, global supply chain shifts, reshoring by Taiwanese companies and
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) Chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) and the company’s former chairman, Mark Liu (劉德音), both received the Robert N. Noyce Award -- the semiconductor industry’s highest honor -- in San Jose, California, on Thursday (local time). Speaking at the award event, Liu, who retired last year, expressed gratitude to his wife, his dissertation advisor at the University of California, Berkeley, his supervisors at AT&T Bell Laboratories -- where he worked on optical fiber communication systems before joining TSMC, TSMC partners, and industry colleagues. Liu said that working alongside TSMC
TECHNOLOGY DAY: The Taiwanese firm is also setting up a joint venture with Alphabet Inc on robots and plans to establish a firm in Japan to produce Model A EVs Manufacturing giant Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) yesterday announced a collaboration with ChatGPT developer OpenAI to build next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and strengthen its local supply chain in the US to accelerate the deployment of advanced AI systems. Building such an infrastructure in the US is crucial for strengthening local supply chains and supporting the US in maintaining its leading position in the AI domain, Hon Hai said in a statement. Through the collaboration, OpenAI would share its insights into emerging hardware needs in the AI industry with Hon Hai to support the company’s design and development work, as well
