Abstract

In the first half of the talk, he will introduce the activities of ICER (the innovation center for educational resources) of Kyushu University established in April, 2011. Its mission was to provide teachers and students of the university with e-learning materials using recent ICT like 3D Graphics and XR(VR/AR/MR). He will introduce various educational materials developed by ICER, those are a dental treatment training system, a rehabilitation system. a set-up training system for the radiation therapy and so on. Recently, DX has become important keyword and his Kyushu University established DDI2 (Data-Driven Innovation Initiative) in 2023. One of the divisions of DDI2 is NOE (the division of Next generation Open Education promotion). In the second half of the talk, he will introduce the activities of NOE and several educational XR contents have been developed so far.

Abstract

This presentation explores the transformative role of "Autonomous Physical AI" in the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and memory solutions, with a specific focus on Samsung's advancements. The discussion begins with a historical overview of memory applications, highlighting the shift from PCs to mobile devices, and now to server/cloud environments. By 2027, the rise of Level 3 autonomous driving is anticipated to make automotive applications central to memory usage, marking the advent of "AI on Wheels."

The presentation delves into how autonomous vehicles are generating substantial data, necessitating increased memory bandwidth and density. As autonomous driving levels advance, memory requirements are projected to double in bandwidth and density, with Level 5 autonomy potentially increasing data usage fourfold. The forecast indicates that by 2033, DRAM memory in autonomous vehicles could constitute around 40% of the total market.

Key market segments for memory solutions include automotive data centers, robotics, and LEO satellites, with significant market expansions projected in these areas. Samsung's memory solutions are highlighted using the P.O.W.E.R. framework—Proactive World-first Solution Provider, Operational Excellence, Wholistic In-house Solutions, Enduring Supply Stability, and Reliable Partner. This framework underscores Samsung's leadership in innovative memory products, including automotive-grade DRAM, LPDDR5X, and GDDR7, along with its strategic participation in UCIe standardization for modular semiconductor connections.

The presentation also covers the evolution towards Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and centralized architectures, emphasizing the increasing demand for replaceable and detachable storage solutions. Samsung is preparing for these changes with advanced products such as high-capacity SSDs and memory solutions optimized for next-generation vehicle architectures. The session concludes with an introduction to Samsung’s Global Automotive One Team, dedicated to driving forward its vision in automotive memory solutions.
