STMicroelectronics executive says physical AI depends on the whole system
Luca Verre of STMicroelectronics says physical AI depends on the whole system.
He said robots work successfully in the real world not because they have one powerful processor, but because they can sense, decide and act at the right time and place.
Physical AI refers here to AI operating through robots in the real world.
A processor is only one part of the system needed to make that happen.
The system as a whole is the key challenge, according to Verre.
The interview gives no further details about what STMicroelectronics will do next.
STMicroelectronics executive Luca Verre said physical AI depends on the entire system, not just its processor.
He said robots succeed in the real world by sensing, making decisions and acting in the right place and at the right time.
Verre is a group vice president in strategy for STMicroelectronics’ microcontroller, digital IC and RF products group.
The interview was published on October 30, 2026.
