As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the demands of data center infrastructure, Auras Technology Chairman Yu-shen Lin declared that the industry’s shift from air to liquid cooling is not just inevitable—it’s already underway.

Mitsubishi Motors said on May 7 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Foxtron Vehicle Technologies—a joint venture between Foxconn and Yulon Motor—to jointly develop and supply electric vehicles. Under the OEM agreement, Foxtron will design the EV, while production will be handled by Yulon, with both sides planning to finalize a formal contract in due course.

As AI evolves beyond algorithms and computational benchmarks, focus has shifted to real-world implementation. Robotics—especially humanoid robots—has emerged as one of the most promising vectors for applying AI at scale. Advantech, a global leader in industrial PCs, has been quietly preparing for this shift. In 2024, the company launched a new business unit aimed at becoming the “brain and heart” of next-generation intelligent robots.
