“We are excited to collaborate with NVIDIA, a leader and innovator in the humanoid robotics space,” said Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon Technologies. “By combining our microcontroller, sensor, and smart actuator expertise with NVIDIA accelerated computing technology, we will deliver a simple, integrated, and scalable solution to our customers, reducing their time to market significantly. Infineon enables the key functional blocks in humanoid robots with a broad portfolio of dedicated products and technologies – from power switches to microcontrollers, sensors and connectivity. We empower humanoid robots to sense, move, act and connect. Safe and secure.”

“NVIDIA Jetson Thor is designed to accelerate the future of physical AI and robotics,” said Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA. “Infineon is bringing their broad product and technology portfolio to the Jetson Thor ecosystem to help accelerate customers’ time-to-market by creating more efficient, powerful and scalable motor control solutions for humanoid robots.”

Infineon offers a full suite of dedicated solutions for humanoid robots, including the microcontroller families PSOC™ and AURIX™ which offer industry-leading security to protect against cyberattacks and unauthorized access. The microcontrollers provide multi-core real time processing capabilities essential for safe, responsive, and adaptive robotic systems. As the world leader in automotive microcontrollers, Infineon has a long-standing experience in critical applications ensuring safety and reliability in high-end precise motion solutions. With its latest acquisition of Marvell's Automotive Ethernet business, Infineon has further extended its portfolio with the BRIGHTLANE™ series offering high-speed ethernet capabilities, another core element of humanoid robots.

Real-time AI and Control is critical to general robotics. As part of the collaboration, Infineon provides its PSOC Control C3 family of microcontrollers, which integrate seamlessly with the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge to the NVIDIA Jetson Thor series modules – a platform for physical AI and humanoid robotics, delivering real-time reasoning performance and scalability. PSOC Control devices are well-suited for implementing so-called field-oriented-control (FOC) algorithms, which are widely used for precise motor control due to their ability to reduce noise and provide stable torque output which decreases vibrations in humanoid system designs. Additionally, Infineon provides a full motor control chip set including the company’s latest transistor technology based on gallium nitride (GaN) for high-density and best-efficiency motor control solutions. The integration of Infineon’s gate drivers and current sensors helps control communication and design challenges in humanoid robotics, allowing developers to focus on creating innovative solutions.

Through this initiative, Infineon is spearheading further advancements in humanoid robotics, enabling the creation of more sophisticated robots that can perform complex tasks with precision and accuracy.

More loons are filling Maine's lakes with their ghost-like calls

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Loons are on the mend in Maine, filling more of the state's lakes and ponds with their haunting calls, although conservations say the birds aren't out of the woods yet.

Maine is home to a few thousand of the distinctive black-and-white waterbirds — the East Coast’s largest loon population — and conservationists said efforts to protect them from threats helped grow the population. An annual count of common loons found more adults and chicks this year than last, Maine Audubon said this week.

The group said it estimated a population for the southern half of Maine of 3,174 adult loons and 568 chicks. Audubon bases its count on the southern portion of Maine because there are enough bird counters to get a reliable number. The count is more than twice the number when they started counting in 1983, and the count of adult adult loons has increased 13% from 10 years ago.

“We’re cautiously optimistic after seeing two years of growing chick numbers,” said Maine Audubon wildlife ecologist Tracy Hart. “But it will take several more years before we know if that is a real upward trend, or just two really good years.”

Maine lawmakers have attempted to grow the population of the loons with bans on lead fishing tackle that the birds sometimes accidentally swallow. Laws that limit boat speeds have also helped because they prevent boat wakes from washing out nests, conservation groups say.

It's still too early to know if Maine's loons are on a sustainable path to recovery, and the success of the state's breeding loons is critical to the population at large, Hart said. Maine has thousands more loons than the other New England states, with the other five states combining for about 1,000 adults. The state is home to one of the largest populations of loons in the U.S., which has about 27,000 breeding adults in total.

Minnesota has the most loons in the lower 48 states, with a fairly stable population of about 12,000 adults, but they are in decline in some parts of their range.

While loons are not listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, they are considered threatened by some states, including New Hampshire and Michigan. The U.S. Forest Service also considers the common loon a sensitive species.

The birds migrate to the ocean in late fall and need a long runway to take off, meaning winter can be a treacherous time for the birds because they get trapped by ice in the lakes and ponds where they breed, said Barb Haney, executive director of Avian Haven, a wildlife rehabilitation center in Freedom, Maine.

“We're getting a lot of calls about loons that are iced in,” Haney said, adding that the center was tending to one such patient this week.
