Humanoid robots clean homes as Samsung ramps up AI chip production · 2 sources tracked

The latest edition of MIT Technology Review's "The Download" newsletter covers two distinct topics: a trial of a remote-piloted humanoid robot for apartment cleaning and Samsung's expansion of its semiconductor manufacturing campus in South Korea to meet the demand for AI-driven memory chips.
