Expert Statements
Patrick Aidoune, General Manager, General Purpose and Automotive Microcontrollers Division, STMicroelectronics
“This new generation of microcontrollers addresses the challenge to meet the growing energy needs of AI datacenters efficiently, realize more sophisticated humanoid robots, and power more complex motor-control systems. With the STM32G5 series, ST makes the compute performance needed for physical AI accessible and embeddable to deliver improvements that enhance sustainability, safety, and security.”
Andy Hsiao, Senior Commodity Buyer, PSBG Materials Division, Delta Electronics
“Digital power is at the heart of our mission to deliver innovative, clean, and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow, and it requires control platforms that can keep pace with increasingly complex systems. The STM32G5 brings the level of performance and flexibility needed for next-generation digital-power applications. The combination of processing power, integrated peripherals, and built-in security makes it a strong option for our designs, helping deliver lower energy losses, a smaller footprint, and higher reliability in demanding AI and EV applications.”
Paul Tian, CEO, Ruiyan Intelligent
“In humanoid robotics, dexterity depends on combining strength, precision, sensing and real-time control in an extremely compact space. The STM32G5 delivers more than twice the performance of the previous generation, more peripheral support and stronger built-in security needed to control more motors, respond faster when speed and precision matter, and integrate more sensors into the robotic hand. Together with ST, we’re bringing dexterous robotic hands closer to real-world use, from factory automation to medical laboratories, with the goal of making everyday life easier.”
