STMicroelectronics, a global leader in semiconductor technologies serving a wide range of electronics applications, will participate in SEMICON Southeast Asia 2025 from May 20 to 22. The company will exhibit its latest technological advancements at Booth L1901.
The exhibit will feature over ten demonstrations spanning key areas such as Edge AI, sensor integration, wireless connectivity, automotive electronics, and industrial automation. These demonstrations include collaborations with EDOM and OMRON and are designed to highlight innovation across multiple sectors.
This demonstration features an AI-enhanced assistant terminal powered by the STM32N6 microcontroller (MCU). The system includes a pose estimation model based on YOLOv8n, capable of gesture recognition with inference speeds of up to 25 frames per second.
Utilizing the STM32N6 MCU’s integrated neural processing unit (NPU), this system processes gesture inputs captured by the VD66GY color image sensor. The STM32MP257 PLC development board translates gesture key point data to enable real-time control of 15 servo motors in a robotic hand.
This system uses the VL53L8CX 8×8 multizone Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor to detect human presence and interpret gesture-based commands. It is optimized for low-power operation and stable performance in ambient light.
ST’s ISPU integrates edge computing within an inertial measurement unit (IMU). This demonstration showcases a Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform (SDFT) for condition monitoring applications, highlighting the ISPU’s suitability for AI-driven industrial environments.
ST’s biosensor integrates an accelerometer with a vertical analog front-end (vAFE) and embedded AI functionality. It supports detection of biopotentials through external electrodes, enabling applications such as ENG, ECG, EEG, heart rate monitoring, and motion detection.
The ST60A2 operates in the 60 GHz V-Band and serves as a low-power, high-speed millimeter-wave transceiver for short-range, point-to-point data transfer. The system supports various antenna configurations, including PCB patch and surface-mount horn antennas.
This demonstration highlights ST’s power transmitter integrated with NFC functionality and compliant with the Wireless Power Consortium’s (WPC) Ki standard. It is designed to replace conventional power cords in kitchen appliances, offering dynamic and static power modes. The solution utilizes ST’s IH-series IGBTs for power efficiency and the STM32G4 MCU for precise control, with STSAFE components ensuring secure data handling.
Developed in collaboration with EDOM, this system showcases four key components: a battery management unit, a compact smart charger, an energy-efficient traction inverter, and a contactless NFC-based key system.
ST, in collaboration with OMRON, has implemented robotic automation at its Ang Mo Kio manufacturing facility in Singapore. The system automates wafer cassette handling across 22 machines, operating continuously and improving productivity by 10%. The automation effort is coupled with a workforce development initiative, enabling employees to transition into advanced technical roles through a structured Career Development Plan (CDP), benefiting over 100 personnel to date.
On May 22, ST will host robotics workshops for students aged 12 to 18. These interactive sessions aim to promote interest in STEM and robotics through hands-on activities, conducted in small group formats to ensure effective engagement.
