During CES 2026, chip - design firm Arm Holdings Plc made an announcement about the creation of its Physical AI business unit. This newly - formed division is entirely devoted to the development of specialized semiconductor technologies tailored for robotics and intelligent vehicles. Under the leadership of Executive Vice President Drew Henry, the unit is geared towards addressing the shared requirements of these two application categories in aspects like sensor fusion (the integration of data from multiple sensors to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the environment), power - consumption limitations (ensuring that the chips operate efficiently without draining excessive energy), and functional safety (guaranteeing that the systems work reliably and safely under various conditions).
