NXP Semiconductors Launches Robotics Solutions, Simplifying AI Development
NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) announced robotics solutions for data processing and transport and advanced networking, enabling sensor fusion, machine vision and precision motor control. First in a series of NXP's foundational robotics solutions, these ready-to-deploy solutions were developed in collaboration with Nvidia (NVDA) and implement Nvidia (NVDA) Holoscan Sensor Bridge with NXP's highly integrated SoCs. The company said this reduces discrete components, significantly shrinking footprint, power and cost, while also simplifying the software complexity of robotic sensing and actuation, including humanoid form factors. "Physical AI is redefining what machines can do in the real world, and humanoid robots represent the most complex expression of that revolution," said Charles Dachs, executive VP and general manager, secure connected edge, NXP Semiconductors. "By combining NXP's deep expertise in edge processing, secure networking, functional safety and real-time control with NVIDIA robotics platforms, we are greatly simplifying physical AI development, enabling seamless connectivity between the physical AI edge and the central brain. This is just the beginning of what NXP will deliver to accelerate the ecosystem for physical AI."
