Group 1 - Samsung Electro-Mechanics has abandoned its plan to build a manufacturing plant in Mexico due to uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariffs and has dissolved its subsidiary in Mexico. The company had invested 4.9 billion KRW in a subsidiary established in Querétaro, Mexico, in 2023, as part of its broader strategy to expand its electric vehicle components business [1]. - A new adjustable quantum sensing technology has been developed by a team from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. This hybrid quantum system can achieve higher precision measurements across various applications, including detecting gravitational waves, environmental monitoring, and biomedical diagnostics. This breakthrough marks a new phase in quantum sensing technology [1]. - A joint initiative named "Kyoto Bionic Association" will be established by Murata Manufacturing and Temco to develop humanoid robots entirely manufactured in Japan. The organization aims to create disaster response robots and revive Japan's position in the robotics field [1]. - The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has signed a cooperation framework agreement with BYD Auto to establish the "HKUST-BYD Embodied Intelligence Joint Laboratory." This lab will focus on cutting-edge research in robotics and intelligent manufacturing, with BYD committing to invest tens of millions of HKD over the coming years to support its operation [1].
