Second, the semiconductor

1. NVIDIA's new strategy: moving from game console chips to cars. Reuters today said that NVIDIA is trying to open up the automotive chip market. In this process, NVI has many aspects to strengthen due to the difference between automotive products and consumer electronics. NVIDIA has now entered the market for in-vehicle infotainment systems, but has not yet been involved in driverless cars. NVIDIA is trying to break into emerging markets and provide driving assistance systems for these markets, including automatic parking, semi-automatic steering and braking systems. Such systems require chips that are small in size but powerful in computing power. Currently, NVIDIA has developed the Tegra X1 chip and is selling it to users in the automotive and gaming industries. Nvidia said the Tegra X1 encapsulates the computing power of a supercomputer in a stamp-sized chip.

2, Google's next generation Nexus mobile phone is not only Huawei OEM, LG is also considering. Google will launch new Nexus devices every year, and the OEMs have changed several times. There are HTC, Asus, Samsung, LG, and Motorola. This year, Android M’s “public version machine” will be shipped, and OEM orders will fall for the first time. Domestic Huawei. But there is no absolute thing in the world. This time, the foundry can be more than Huawei. LG is also said to be considering the OEM Nexus equipment again. According to the exclusive news of AndroidPIT, the source revealed to them that LG is still considering whether to build a Nexus device for Google again, but did not disclose whether they will be a mobile phone or a tablet.

1. Google will test driverless cars in the city this summer. On May 16th, according to US media reports, Chris Urmson, head of Google's self-driving car project, published an article on the official blog about the test plan for Google's autopilot prototype car. We look forward to understanding the community's perceptions and interactions with these cars and discover the unique challenges that autonomous vehicles face – for example, where they should stop if they can't stop at their destination due to construction or traffic jams. In the next few years, we want to conduct a small-scale pilot project through prototype cars to understand what people want to do with these cars.

Five, robot

1. Enhance the robot industry and its core competitiveness. "Economic Daily" recently published three series of reports on industrial robots, which comprehensively expounded the status quo and characteristics of industrial robots in China from the application status, industrial layout and development strategy, and developed and engaged in robots and their key components. Practitioners in the fields of production and robotics provide a good reference. The urgent needs of the application field have stimulated the development enthusiasm of the robot whole machine enterprises, and also promoted the R&D investment of the key component enterprises such as servo motors and precision reducers for the robot field. However, it should also be noted that at present, domestic enterprises have a large gap between the whole machine and key components and foreign first-class enterprises, and it is urgent to improve the core competitiveness as a whole.

2. Automatically unlock the robot for 30 seconds to unlock. On Tuesday, the well-known hacker Samy Kamkar released a 3D printing design and software code for the unlocking robot made by the 3D printing part + Arduino development board. The robot is called Combo Breaker. Connect the robot to any Master Lock lock, turn on the robot, and take advantage of a security hole discovered by Kamkar's recently discovered Master Lock lock. It can take up to 5 minutes and can be unlocked without any operation. Combo Breaker automates the entire cracking process without the user having to master any skills or training. However, the cracker can also pull the lock while pulling the lock rotor to find the first number through the appropriate resistance.
