# Micron Says Humanoid Robots Could Be Next Big Memory Driver, Analyst Sees 'Millions Of Machines' With Server-Level Chips

**Micron Technology Inc.** (NASDAQ:MU) said Wednesday that humanoid robots could become a major driver of memory and storage demand in the years ahead, a shift analyst **Shay Boloor** believes would be the turning point for physical AI demand.

## MU’s Humanoid Memory Forecast

On Micron’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO **Sanjay Mehrotra** said autonomous vehicles are the first big use case for physical AI, requiring more than 200 gigabytes of memory and multiple terabytes of storage. 

That shift, he said, is expected to extend to humanoid robots and other autonomous systems.

“Physical AI can become a significant driver of memory and storage demand by the end of this decade,” Mehrotra said, adding that several physical AI customers are already sampling Micron’s next-generation products.

The chipmaker is increasing investment in its technology roadmap to ensure it is prepared to capitalize on this opportunity.

The company expects first-half capital expenditure of around $25 billion after reporting $10.8 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter.
