QBit Semiconductor Targets Physical AI and Drone Markets with QB88XX Series Integrating Robot “Cerebellum” Control

Published

on

TAIPEI, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QBit Semiconductor (TWO: 7913), a Taiwan-based fabless IC design leader in high-end image processing and motion control, unveiled its robotics and drone chipset roadmap at SEMICON Taiwan 2026, targeting Physical AI control opportunities.

To address space and power constraints in Dexterous Robotic Hands with over 20 degrees of freedom, QBit introduced the highly integrated QB88XX series. The SoC consolidates multi-joint control onto a single chip, reducing system costs and energy consumption. Built on a Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) architecture, it combines quad-core Arm Cortex-A78 processors and an NPU to execute brain commands, in addition, the Arm Cortex-M7, TGEN, and secondary NPU for motor servo control. Supporting up to 32 motors and AI servo tuning, it integrates PCIe, USB, CAN Bus, and camera interfaces for robotic arms and industrial automation.

For Drones, QBit is executing a two-phase strategy:

Phase 1 (2026–2028): Penetrating entry-level markets with the QB77XX, supporting up to 32GB LPDDR5/5X, PCIe, USB 3.2, and GbE. Powered by TGEN and Cortex-M33 for real-time flight control, it reduces board counts across mission computers and flight controllers.Phase 2 (2029 Onward): Launching a drone-dedicated QB88XX SoC unifying flight control and mission computing into a single chip with optical flow control and target tracking.

QBit also demonstrated its QB77XX single-object tracking solution, maintaining locks during visual occlusions (tested at relative speeds up to 60 km/h with 10–15 minute flight times). Multi-object tracking will be showcased in Q4 2026.

For cybersecurity, QBit’s QB7 series passed U.S. NIST CAVP validation for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) ML-DSA algorithms in 2025. The drone solutions incorporate PQC-secured boot for device authentication and firmware defense.

Teamsters Demand City Council Pass Logistics Reform Ordinance

CHICAGO, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hundreds of Amazon Teamsters in Chicago will be joined by local elected officials and labor and civil society coalition allies for a rally on Tuesday, September 15.

The Delivery Protection Act, introduced by Alderwoman Julia Ramirez (D-12th District), would require delivery companies like Amazon to license their facilities with the city and directly hire its workforce, making subcontracted deliveries illegal in Chicago.

This ordinance follows the success of the Teamsters-backed Delivery Protection Act in New York City, which has received supermajority support from the New York City Council and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The time to pass this critical legislation in Chicago has come.

PPL Electric Proposes New Customer Protection Transmission Rider, Building on its Existing Customer Protection Framework

Published

on

By

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PPL Electric Utilities today filed a proposal with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission that would make transmission costs more transparent for customers and create a new way to directly assign certain transmission-related costs associated with large energy users to those customers.

The proposal would establish a Customer Protection Transmission Rider (CPTR) and replace the current Transmission Service Charge (TSC). It builds on the company’s existing Customer Protection Framework, which already requires large-load customers served under the LP-6 rate class to make significant financial and usage commitments before connecting to the system.

Pennsylvania is experiencing increasing interest from data centers and other large energy users that can require substantial electric infrastructure investments. PPL Electric’s Customer Protection Framework is designed to help ensure growth occurs responsibly while supporting affordability, reliability and transparency for existing customers. The proposed CPTR would add another layer of protection by creating a mechanism to directly allocate certain transmission network upgrade costs associated with serving large-load customers to those customers while giving all customers a clearer view of transmission costs on their bills.

“We want to ensure that all of our customers benefit from economic growth and that includes how investments in the electric grid are supported. As Pennsylvania grows, our responsibility is to make sure existing customers are protected,” said Christine Martin, president of PPL Electric Utilities. “This proposal would make transmission costs easier to see on customer bills and provide a way to assign certain transmission costs associated with serving large energy users directly to those customers. It’s a practical step that supports responsible growth while helping protect residential and small business customers.”

Customer benefits of the proposal
Today, transmission costs are embedded within supply charges on the bill and recovered through existing cost-recovery mechanisms by customers’ energy suppliers or by PPL Electric for default service customers. While these costs are recovered through established regulatory frameworks, this approach makes it difficult for customers to see these costs on their bills and limits the ability for the company to directly assign certain transmission network costs associated with large-load growth to a specific customer class.

The proposed CPTR would address both challenges by making transmission costs visible to customers through a dedicated line item and creating a mechanism for the company to directly allocate certain transmission network upgrade costs associated with LP-6 large-load customers to that customer class. This added protection helps ensure customers driving the need for new transmission investments contribute directly to those shared costs while increasing transparency and accountability for all customers.

The proposal would not add a new charge. It would replace the existing Transmission Service Charge with a more transparent method of recovering transmission costs while positioning all customers to benefit from the expected reduction in transmission costs as large-load customers begin contributing a larger share of transmission network costs.

If approved, the CPTR is expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2028, further expanding PPL Electric’s Customer Protection Framework.
