“For UAVs, integrated semiconductor and sensor design determines flight performance, safety, and commercialization”
Published2026.04.27 15:59According to Infineon Technologies, when designing unmanned aircraft such as drones and multicopters, the company is providing integrated system solutions that consolidate key unmanned aircraft blocks including flight controllers, electronic speed controllers (ESC), gimbals, battery management systems (BMS), and power management, with the goal of shortening development time and reducing bill of materials (BOM) costs. When applying integrated solutions, increasing power density through the combination of power devices and drivers enables battery weight reduction and lighter airframe design, while the combination of low-power sensors and MCUs extends standby time and improves actual operational efficiency. Additionally, safety interfaces such as PSI5 and product lines compliant with ISO 26262 are advantageous for responding to safety-related regulations such as collision detection and pedestrian protection.

"A new era where vehicles learn and judge for themselves"…Edge AI becomes the brain of automobiles
Edge AI is a technology that directly analyzes data within vehicles to immediately process critical functions such as braking, steering, and motor control with ultra-low latency and ultra-low power consumption. In electric vehicles, it increases efficiency and safety through battery charge and health state prediction, predictive maintenance, and virtual sensor implementation. In motor control, it complements existing algorithms to improve responsiveness and efficiency, and through anomaly detection, it identifies abnormal patterns in various components such as batteries, motors, and tires at an early stage. STMicroelectronics (ST) is actively working to expand the development ecosystem.

820 trillion won super budget focused on AI, semiconductors, and power grids
The government is compiling a 820 trillion won super budget for 2027 and concentrating finances on industrial policy that positions AI, semiconductors, and power grids as national growth drivers. Large-scale investments are being made in frontier AI development, AIDC ecosystem, manufacturing AI, physical AI, and autonomous vehicle demonstration projects, while finances are also being allocated to semiconductor special accounting and the southwestern region cluster. In particular, power grid expansion is emerging as a near-term beneficiary sector with full-scale deployment of ESS and substations. However, considerable uncertainty exists in execution as many projects depend on legislative amendments and semiconductor market conditions, and budget growth rates are projected to peak in 2027 and subsequently slow.
