On November 4, Chips&Media announced that Mobilint's next-generation AI semiconductor, equipped with its high-performance multimedia IP, has entered mass production.


The two companies have strengthened their technology partnership by signing license agreements for next-generation IP, including AV2 and H.266/VVC, following their existing multimedia IP agreements for H.264 and AV1. They plan to accelerate their push into the global robotics and humanoid markets with Mobilint's AI semiconductor Regulus, which was installed on the Nuri rocket and has completed performance verification in the space environment.


Semiconductors for physical AI and robotics must process data from 8 to 20 cameras simultaneously, making high performance, ultra-low latency, and strong safety essential. Chips&Media's video processing unit (VPU) supports high-performance video processing at 8K resolution and 60 frames per second on a single core, efficiently encoding multiple streams without delay. The company has also obtained ISO 26262 ASIL-B certification, an international functional safety standard at the automotive level required by the humanoid market.


Shin Dongju, CEO of Mobilint, said, "It is highly meaningful to bring a solution optimized for the robotics and physical AI markets by combining Mobilint's innovative AI semiconductor technology with Chips&Media's proven, high-performance multimedia IP."


Kim Sanghyun, CEO of Chips&Media, said, "Building on our proven technological competitiveness in edge AI and automotive applications, we will work with Mobilint to lead the era of physical AI."



The two companies plan to expand the scope of their collaboration to include frame buffer compression IP and data compression IP, building on the results of this partnership.
