Audio is enriching lives, making listening experiences more immersive. Semiconductors are making premium recording equipment and high-quality entertainment production accessible to more people. But it’s also quietly improving your life, enabling more affordable and higher-performing electronics. Audio appeals to our emotions by immersing us in sound, but it also keeps the things we’re emotional about safe. For example, audio technology is an important aspect of maintaining the safe operation of humanoid robots. If a smoke alarm goes off while a robot is monitoring its environment, a semiconductor with a neural network-based algorithm can hear the smoke alarm and enable the humanoid to take appropriate action, such as alerting emergency services, protecting items with sentimental or monetary value or preventing incidents with pets.
