South Korea’s tech giant Samsung is beefing up its staff to expand its robotics and AI businesses, ahead of its 2030 mission of transitioning its production lines to AI-driven.

Samsung Electronics quietly began recruiting talent in-house last month for its robotics division Future Robotics Task Force, with applications expected to close Friday. The company is also hiring for its AI unit, according to reports.
The news marks the second time Samsung has hired for its Future Robotics Task Force, which was set up in 2024. The unit oversees all of Samsung’s robotic development, including humanoids.

Samsung wants to make its robot parts

The hiring came with a strong emphasis on internalizing its robot developments. Since this year, Samsung has been talking about internalizing key robot components and building its own technological capabilities.
“By internalizing key robot components, we are securing the capability to directly develop custom parts optimized for the company’s robots,” Park Soon-chul, Samsung Electronics CFO, said during the company’s Q1 earnings call.
Part of the company’s roadmap for the year and next is deploying humanoid robots into its internal processes and production lines, with commercialization still a few years away.
“We plan to first develop manufacturing robots and later expand into home and retail sectors,” Soon-chul said.

Samsung’s AI-driven factories by 2030

Last month, Samsung announced plans to transition all of its manufacturing operations into Agentic AI-driven factories by 2030.
It plans to progressively deploy humanoids and task-specialized robotics across its production lines, starting with its U.S. plant in 2026.
Humanoids are a big part of Samsung’s robotics strategy. As of March, Samsung had filed over 10,347 robot-related patents, according to patent data from KIPRIS. Up to 46 of the applications were related to humanoid technologies.
At the center of Samsung’s humanoid technology is Rainbow Robotics. In 2024, Samsung increased its stake in the South Korean robot maker from 14.7% to 35%, paying KRW 267 billion, or about $181 billion, to become the largest shareholder in the company.
Samsung said the acquisition was aimed at speeding up future developments of its humanoid robots. The company set up its Future Robotics Task Force shortly after the deal.
Shares of Rainbow Robotics Co., Ltd (277810.KQ) are currently up 12% following the news of Samsung’s hire.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
