➀ Researchers at Northeastern University in China have developed an H-shaped bionic robot that mimics a cheetah’s running motion using piezoelectric materials.

➁ The H-shaped bionic piezoelectric robot (H-BPR) features four legs connected by three piezoelectric beams, allowing it to mimic a cheetah’s gait through periodic leg movements.

➂ Experiments showed the robot could achieve a maximum velocity of 66.79 mm/s and a load capacity of 55 g, demonstrating potential for industrial applications and search-and-rescue missions.

➀ Melexis has introduced the MLX90617, an infrared thermometer designed for non-contact temperature measurement in induction hobs.

➁ The sensor measures the cooking vessel's base temperature through the ceramic hob, enhancing cooking control, safety, and user experience.

➂ Integrating the infrared thermometer allows for better cooking precision and advanced automation in cooking systems.

➀ The MCT System is a cutting-edge solution designed to simplify control, monitoring, and data logging processes across various industries.

➁ It features an intuitive interface with a 4.3” color touchscreen, allowing users to navigate through a PC-style menu or a smart device-style slide-nav.

➂ Key features include up to three PID loops, flash memory (128 MB), SDRAM (256 MB), secure data transmission protocols, and support for up to eight monitor points.

➀ According to Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, AI is more likely to augment jobs than fully replace them, automating up to 80% of tasks.

➁ Huang compares this shift to the early invention of electricity, heralding the beginning of a new Industrial Revolution.

➂ He suggests that AI advancements are outpacing Moore's Law, with computing power increasing by a million times in 10 years.

➀ Rapidus, a Japanese wafer foundry startup, is building a 2nm wafer factory in Hokkaido with a target to start trial production in April 2025 and mass production in 2027;

➁ Rapidus CEO Koike Atsuyoshi stated that the factory construction is proceeding smoothly and trial production will begin on April 1st;

➂ Rapidus aims to achieve an estimated cumulative revenue of 18 trillion yen from mass production between 2027 and 2036;

➃ TSMC is leading in the mass production of 2nm chips, but Rapidus has advantages in process speed, yield, and performance, and aims to catch up with TSMC;

➄ Rapidus, founded in August 2022, is a joint venture of eight Japanese companies, including Toyota, Sony, NTT, NEC, SoftBank, Denso, and Mitsubishi UFJ, with a target to mass produce 2nm processes by 2027;

➅ Rapidus plans to use robots and AI to create an automated 2nm production line in northern Japan, aiming to reduce delivery times by a factor of three compared to competitors;

➆ Rapidus has become the first company in Japan to receive EUV lithography machines, with the first batch of EUV lithography equipment arriving in Japan on December 14, 2024;

➇ Rapidus' fully automated factory gives it a competitive edge, as the back-end processes of chip manufacturing, such as interconnection, packaging, and testing, are labor-intensive;

➈ CEO Atsuyoshi Koike states that this will provide higher performance and faster delivery times for the same 2nm products compared to other companies.

➀ IG Drones, founded in 2018 by Om Prakash and Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya, specializes in defense, industrial, agricultural, and skilling applications.

➁ The company's products include the Jaga for industrial surveillance, the Kisan for agricultural spraying, and the Delta 400 and Skyhawk VTOL for defense purposes.

➂ IG Drones also offers anti-drone systems and is increasing R&D efforts to develop medium- and high-altitude drones and unmanned surface vehicles.

➀ Tesla has automated the process of its vehicles autonomously driving from the factory floor to loading bays without human intervention, using its Full Self-Driving technology.
