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.
After several years flying high as Asia’s best Nvidia Corp proxy, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is increasingly vying with other artificial intelligence (AI) stocks for investor attention. Stock traders are chasing a wider array of beneficiaries as mainstream usage of AI creates demand for hardware beyond the most-advanced chips TSMC makes for Nvidia. Subthemes from the deepening memory crunch to advances in robotics are also luring bids. At the same time, investment caps on single stocks are pushing funds to diversify, while retail investors long familiar with TSMC through its US depositary receipts are being offered a broader set of
Netherlands-based semiconductor equipment supplier ASML Holding NV yesterday said that it is planning to hire an additional 1,000 people in Taiwan this year in response to growing demand from clients. ASML had previously planned to recruit 600 people this year, but that the plan has been adjusted upward, ASML vice president and ASML Taiwan general manager Grace Wang (汪佳慧) told reporters. ASML has a workforce of more than 4,500 in Taiwan, accounting for about 10 percent of its global total, Wang said. This year’s recruitment campaign would focus on adding people in the customer support, manufacturing and supply chain domains to assist ASML
UNDER MICROSCOPE: Taiwan detained three people who allegedly conspired to buy servers in Taiwan and export them using fraudulent documentation, prosecutors said Nvidia Corp chief executive officer Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) on Saturday urged Super Micro Computer Inc to tighten up on compliance after Taiwan detained three people this week for allegedly making fraudulent declarations about artificial intelligence (AI) servers made by its US partner. The development marked the nation’s first crackdown on semiconductor smuggling, which grew after the US slapped restrictions on exports of high-end chips such as Nvidia AI accelerators to China. Nvidia is “rigorous” in explaining regulations to all of its partners, Huang told reporters after arriving in Taipei. “Ultimately Super Micro has to run their own company,” he said in response to
Nvidia Corp yesterday announced that CEO Jensen Huang (黃仁勳) would attend an employee meeting in Taipei tomorrow to celebrate the launch of the company’s Taiwan headquarters project. Huang would attend a gathering at the site of Nvidia’s planned headquarters in Beitou Shilin Technology Park (北投士林科技園區), the company said in a statement. After arriving in Taiwan on Saturday last week, Huang told reporters that he plans to meet with Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家), and would attend the groundbreaking ceremony for Nvidia’s Taiwan headquarters tomorrow. Nvidia has not yet applied
