Samsung Electronics Partners With Princeton University To Pave the Way for 6G Innovation

Samsung Research America (SRA), a leading research and development organization at Samsung Electronics, has partnered with Princeton University to shape the future of 6G wireless and networking systems.

SRA has become a founding member of Princeton University’s NextG Initiative Corporate Affiliates Program to lead 6G research and development.

In 2023, Princeton University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science established the NextG Initiative to accelerate the adoption of new technologies and increase the flow of innovation across a range of topics — including cloud and edge networks, intelligent sensing, and network resilience. Recently, the NextG Initiative launched a corporate affiliates program to champion for these technological advancements and encourage cooperation between academia, industry leaders and policymakers.

“The best academic research to help realize the promise of future wireless networks is informed by close interactions between faculty and industry technology leaders,” said Andrea Goldsmith, Dean of Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. “Our NextG program aims to foster those deep collaborations around wireless technology, as well as policy, that are required to drive meaningful innovation and global leadership in an era of rapid change.”

Samsung Research America will work closely with Princeton University to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications — alongside fellow corporate affiliates including Ericsson, Intel, MediaTek, Nokia Bell Labs, Qualcomm Technologies and Vodafone.

Dr. Charlie Zhang, Senior Vice President at Samsung Research America, expressed his support for studies in next-generation telecommunications. “The wireless industry has benefited significantly from fundamental research in the past few decades,” he said. “We encourage Princeton’s researchers to continue innovation and develop disruptive technologies that could bring major breakthroughs in 6G.”

In May 2019, Samsung established the Advanced Communications Research Center (ACRC) under Samsung Research to spearhead the development of next-generation communication technology.

By publishing the 6G white paper in July 2020 and the 6G spectrum white paper in May 2022, ACRC has positioned itself as a market leader in driving the 6G landscape. Samsung Research is playing a crucial role in the global standardization of 6G technology as the company chairs both the 6G Framework Group of the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) and the Spectrum Group of the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA).

To further demonstrate its leadership in 6G communication research and development, Samsung hosted the inaugural Samsung 6G Forum in May 2022. The collaboration between Samsung’s industry leadership and Princeton’s academic prowess sets the stage for the NextG Initiative to become a monumental force in shaping the future of 6G.

Research Area

Mobile Processor Innovation

Our mission at MPI lab is to improve the smartphone customer experience by creating the world’s best camera. We are researching and developing advanced computational photography systems incorporating the latest advances in image signal processing, computer vision, and AI pixel processing to deliver new levels of image quality and camera features.

Research Topics

Computational Imaging

By capturing multiple images, either sequential images from a single camera sensor, or from multiple sensors concurrently, valuable extra information is obtained. Using the extra information and extra computational processing power, we can generate images not previously possible. In some cases this may be new levels of quality, or it can also be new camera features.

Deep learning applied in the camera signal processing pipeline can provide new levels of performance for certain problems, but there are multiple challenges. Ground truth training data is difficult to capture or compute, expensive to assemble, and sometimes ineffective. For intermediate points in the camera pipeline, ground truth may be impossible to capture. Additionally, training data may change from image sensor to sensor.

Huawei Captures Top Spot in Q1 2024 Global Foldable Smartphone Shipments on 5G Support

• / May 30, 2024
• / Team Counterpoint
• Global foldable smartphone shipments were up 49% YoY in Q1 2024, driven by Huawei, HONOR and Motorola.
• Huawei’s 5G transition in foldables allowed the brand to rapidly gain a competitive edge .
• HONOR and Motorola’s shipments outside of China rose sharply compared to a year ago.
• Book-type foldables are gaining popularity, with their shipments exceeding those of clamshells for the first time in 11 consecutive quarters.

Seoul, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Fort Collins, Hong Kong, London, New Delhi, San Diego, Taipei, Tokyo – May 30, 2024

The global foldable smartphone market grew 49% YoY in Q1 2024, marking its highest rate of increase in six quarters, according to the latest Counterpoint Research Foldable Smartphone Shipment Tracker . This surge was primarily driven by significant shipment increases at several Chinese OEMs . Notably, Huawei ascended to the top spot in quarterly global shipments for the first time, overtaking Samsung, which had consistently led the market.

Huawei’s transition to 5G in foldables was a key driver of its 257% YoY growth this quarter. A year ago, Huawei’s foldable portfolio consisted solely of LTE devices. However, by Q1 2024, the proportion of 5G-enabled foldables surged to 84% of the brand’s total foldable shipments.

Launched in September last year, Huawei’s first 5G book-type foldable, the Mate X5, has been one of the bestsellers in China’s foldable market for three consecutive quarters. In March 2024, Huawei also released its first 5G clamshell model Pocket 2, significantly contributing to the Q1 shipments. Despite facing challenges in securing supplies for its self-developed 5G SoC , Huawei will continue to treat foldables as a priority, considering their higher price positioning.

In contrast to Huawei’s focus on the Chinese market , HONOR and Motorola have achieved substantial shipment growth in overseas markets as well. HONOR’s global foldable market share jumped from 3% a year ago to 12% in Q1 2024, making it the third-largest player. Its shipments outside of China grew massively from a small base, driven by the slimmest infolding book-type model, the HONOR Magic V2 , which became the most shipped foldable phone in Western Europe in Q1 2024. Similarly, Motorola increased its global market share to 11% to rank fourth, with the Razr 40 (aka Razr 2023) becoming a top model in North America.

We also observed that in Q1 2024, book-type foldables accounted for 55% of the global foldable market shipments, surpassing the clamshell type for the first time since 2021 when the foldable smartphone market began its notable growth following the release of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. The clamshell market, predominantly led by Samsung , has always enjoyed popularity due to its more accessible pricing, except in the Chinese foldable market . However, while Chinese OEMs such as Huawei, HONOR, OnePlus and vivo have been consistently launching new book-type products since the second half of last year, the growth in Samsung’s clamshell segment has slowed, resulting in a reversal between the popular types this quarter.

Despite the rise of book-type foldables, expectations remain high for the clamshell market’s growth potential this year, bolstered by some anticipated product launches. Samsung aims to reclaim its market leadership with the upcoming Z Flip 6, which promises enhanced performance and reliability. Huawei is also setting aggressive targets for the clamshell market, planning to add a lower-priced model to its portfolio. Both HONOR and Xiaomi are poised to enter the clamshell competition for the first time, intensifying the market dynamics.

Inside samsung’s ‘solve for tomorrow’ competition and how stem makes new york city’s streets accessible to all.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Sente uses AI to help Blind and low vision people navigate NYC streets.

At the end of April, Samsung held the final round of its Solve for Tomorrow STEM competition in Washington DC. Now in its 14th year, Samsung says the national winners “have shown us how innovation on a community level can be used to build a better future.” National winners receive a $100,000 prize package which includes numerous Samsung products suitable for classroom use, as well as a slew of other resources.

One of the state winners of the competition were students from New York City’s Stuyvesant High School. The students, led by biology and geoscience teacher Jerry Citron, built an app called Sente designed to assist Blind and low vision people more accessibly navigate the hustle and bustle of crowded urban areas. The software is named for the Latin word for “feel.” In addition to the app itself, Sense is special in that it’s also a cane attachment that leverages artificial intelligence and tactile feedback technology to help users navigate and maneuver around potential obstacles and threats. At a high level, the students developed Sente so that Blind and low vision individuals could move about more freely, thereby heightening levels of autonomy and self-esteem. In essence, Sente was made for the betterment of the group’s quality of life.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), some 2.2 billion people worldwide “have a near or distance vision impairment,” with a billion people having conditions which “could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed.” Moreover, the WHO reports the leading global causes of vision impairment are refractive errors and cataracts.

Citron, who has been on staff at Stuyvesant for over two decades and has been involved with various research projects around environmental sciences, explained in a recent interview conducted via email the impetus for the Sente app hearkens back to the aforementioned WHO statistics; he said the organization estimates 40–45 million people are Blind, with 135 million more having low vision. Despite its prevalence in affecting hundreds of millions of people, Citron noted the Blind and low vision community is “overlooked” in terms of accessibility, especially in large metropolitan areas such as New York City. Moreover, Citron said although technology does exist for Blind and low vision people, many of whom use canes and own guide dogs, the reality is guide dogs and sighted guides aren’t always “feasible options” and canes can’t pick up on every hazard such as a low-hanging tree branch or a blocked sidewalk.

This obviously presents a problem, Citron said to me. The fact of the matter is Blind and low vision people deserve to feel “independent and safe when doing something simple like taking a walk.”

Microsoft Issues New Warning For 70% Of All Windows Users

Forget ios 18 millions of iphone users now have rcs messaging, samsung issues critical update for millions of galaxy users.

“Sente was designed to enhance mobility and awareness, empowering visually impaired individuals to navigate with confidence and engage in physical activity,” Citron said. “[It aims] to improve their quality of life and combat the adverse effects of visual impairment on mental health.”

Citron told me Sente comprises two parts: the app itself and the cane attachment. The cane is used for navigation and to identify objects in the physical environment such as doors; the attachment uses directional cameras that records information about upcoming terrain, which is then transmitted to the user’s phone. The app pre-processes the imagery prior to sending it to a server, at which point a machine learning model uses highfalutin technologies such as PyTorch and YOLOv5 to detect any obstacles. Additionally, when connected to a crowdsourced network of users, Citron said the software is able to “determine patterns” on the crowdedness of sidewalks by collection information such as a sidewalk’s width, the location of construction zones, the crossing difficulty of crosswalks, and the types of intersection signals. Using this data along with the user’s preferences, the app uses natural language to communicate verbal walking directions to the user via headphones.

For Citron, the key to the technology’s successfulness lies in natural language. (Indeed, natural language is why I adore Flexibits’ Fantastical and Cardhop apps for my calendar and contacts, respectively.) Citron said natural language is naturally “much easier to understand” than coded signals or complex audio cues, adding he and his team of students are hard at work at incorporating even more enhanced interactions. The team hopes to enable users to ask questions and ask for clarifications, for example, in an effort to make using Sente “more human-like and helpful.” Furthermore, Citron told me the team is looking to personalizing the level of detail the app provides given a person’s preferences, while also touting the app’s network effect has the added benefit of being a safety feature. At night, he said, a person may want to walk along crowded streets because they feel safer; there’s strength in numbers and invisibility in crowds. Likewise, Sente’s network helps reroute users who “prefer less congested paths,” Citron said.

“We’re using natural language to build smart canes with custom settings to better assist the visually impaired navigate cities,” he said. “Unlike standard direction software, our solution takes into account specific preferences critical to the visually impaired community.”

This story about Solve for Tomorrow and Sente is a worthy complement to a story I posted last September about the work John-Ross Rizzo and NYU have done in building its Commute Booster app. The aim is nearly identical to Sente, as Commute Booster is designed to make traversing New York City’s vast subway system more accessible to riders who are Blind or have low vision. In an interview, Rizzo said the app is intended to help people navigate the so-called “middle mile,” which refers to the often precarious space in between a journey’s origin and destination.

For Samsung’s part, Ann Woo, the company’s head of corporate citizenship at Samsung Electronics America, told me in an interview concurrent to Citron’s the company’s work in the citizenship realm is “firmly rooted in our aspiration to help people to achieve their full potential,” adding Samsung is dedicated to “pioneering positive change, demonstrating our commitment through programs and acts of service in classrooms and communities.” She expounded on the idea, saying diversity and inclusion is “deeply ingrained” into Samsung’s ethos and “part of our company’s heritage to push boundaries and defy barriers to achieve meaningful progress and power bold innovation… but innovation doesn’t just happen—it is designed by humans for humans.”

Woo continued: “Our company is made up of people around the world of different ethnicities, races, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, religious beliefs, and abilities. Together, we’re one global team united by Samsung’s purpose and values. We believe in fostering a workplace culture where every individual’s unique perspectives and experiences are not only valued but celebrated. Our commitment to diversity extends across all facets of our organization, from our diverse workforce and our inclusive products and services, to our community engagement and initiatives promoting digital access and inclusion.”

When asked about why Samsung chose to sponsor Solve for Tomorrow and further STEM education, Woo said the company’s passion for innovation is the “common thread throughout our history” and STEM skills are “vital” to keeping the engine running, so to speak. To support continuous innovation far into the future, Woo told me, Samsung started Solve for Tomorrow in 2010 as a means of “[boosting] interest, proficiency, and diversity in STEM.” She added Solve for Tomorrow enables young tinkerers and future innovators in grades 6–12 across all 50 states to participate in “active, hands-on learning that can be applied to real-world problems,” which in turn has the benefit of making concepts related to STEM “more tangible and showcasing its value both in and out of the classroom.” Apropos of Citron’s students, Woo explained Gen Z in Solve for Tomorrow are “deeply concerned for their communities’ well-being,” using STEM knowledge to create solutions like Sente that address pressing matters like accessibility, preserving Indigenous languages, youth suicide prevention, and much more.

Through the competition, students are “finding their voice, building their confidence, becoming passionate advocates for positive social change, and cultivating essential entrepreneurial skills [that prepare] them for the future of work and a brighter tomorrow,” Woo said.

Asked about feedback to Sente, Citron said he and the group “haven’t yet tested the actual device” in a real-world scenario, but did say there is “interest” from the Blind and low vision community on the concept.

Echoing Woo’s comments on the cruciality of STEM education, Citron said Solve for Tomorrow has allowed he and his students the opportunity to get firsthand experience in “how we can apply what we have learned in the classroom to help solve real-life situations that may be affecting our community.” He added considering what has been accomplished, it’s his hope that this generation of students not only go on to develop solutions to better the world using STEM but also express empathy for the issues facing their communities. For his own self, Citron said he hopes to harness ever-burgeoning technical advances such as AI to “foster critical thinking about the environmental challenges we face.”
