FRANKFURT, Feb ‌18 (Reuters) - ​The ​CEO of Infineon Technologies told daily ‌Handelsblatt that the German ⁠semiconductor maker is well-positioned ‌to benefit from ‌a future boom in the market for ​microchips used in humanoid robots.

"This could ⁠become a growth market like the ​one today for high-performance semiconductors in AI ​data centres," ‌Jochen Hanebeck was quoted as saying ⁠on Wednesday.

He added that Infineon could already ⁠produce many microchips for human-like ​robots, partly because its business in autonomous driving, and ‌the need for new in-house technology ‌development was ⁠limited.
