Asus Halts New Smartphone Development to Pivot Toward AI and Robotics
Asus is winding down new smartphone development as it redirects resources toward AI computing, robotics, and physical AI systems for industrial and enterprise markets.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computational systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as perception, reasoning, learning, and decision-making. In the robotics and automation ecosystem, AI acts as the cognitive layer that enables machines to interpret data, adapt to environments, and operate with increasing autonomy. This topic covers core AI disciplines including machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning, as well as their integration into physical systems. It also examines how advances in AI models, data infrastructure, and edge computing are reshaping industries such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and mobility. Alongside technical developments, the topic addresses governance, safety, and ethical considerations as AI systems become more embedded in real-world operations. AI remains a foundational force driving the evolution of intelligent machines and automated decision-making across the global economy.
