Samsung plans to eliminate humans from its chip fabs by 2030 — push for full automation continues at full steam: Report

Samsung Electronics has started the development of its “Smart Sensing System,” which is designed to improve yields and transform the way its semiconductor fabs operate. The system is primarily designed to monitor and analyze the production process in real time and currently can automatically handle plasma uniformity. Eventually, Samsung plans to make its fabs fully automated and free of human labor by 2030, reports DigiTimes, citing ET News.

Samsung’s ultimate goal is to have fully unmanned semiconductor production facilities by 2030. Achieving this will require developing systems that can manage large amounts of data and optimize equipment performance automatically. The Smart Sensing System is an important part of this plan and is expected to play a crucial role in making these intelligent, fully automated fabs a reality. Samsung is currently investing tens of millions of won into projects like smart sensors, hoping that its investments will pay off in the long run.

Processor made for AI speeds up genome assembly

(Nanowerk News) A hardware accelerator initially developed for artificial intelligence operations successfully speeds up the alignment of protein and DNA molecules, making the process up to 10 times faster than state-of-the-art methods.

This approach can make it more efficient to align protein sequences and DNA for genome assembly, which is a fundamental problem in computational biology.

Resourceful Guy Turns His Vacuum Into an R2-D2 Robot

Finally, he used an oscillating fan to make the droid’s domed head turn back and forth. Meanwhile, a Bluetooth speaker was inserted in the droid’s body to play droid sounds as the robot moves.

Since he could not faithfully recreate R2-D2, he called his invention R9-D9. That does not change the fact that all it takes is one look at it to know it’s Star Wars-inspired.

The project did not come without drawbacks. Hunter’s vacuum can no longer clean under sofas or beds but it’s a small price to pay to watch a Star Wars droid clean your house.
