    With the development of artificial intelligence algorithms, especially the breakthrough progress of multimodal large model technology, the development of the robot industry will be significantly accelerated. It not only enhances the intelligence level of robots, but also rapidly promotes the process of humanoid robots moving towards mass production. onsemi provides comprehensive solutions for embodied intelligent robots, AMRs, etc., promoting new breakthroughs in the intelligence of robots.

Embodied intelligence is penetrating into multiple scenarios
    On Semiconductor offers critical perception and power products for robotic applications, such as the HyperluxTM series of image sensors (including high-resolution iToF depth imaging solutions for robotic vision systems), as well as innovative MOSFET technology and intelligent electronic fuses that enable advanced motor control.

   Theo Kersjes, the system engineering manager of ON Semiconductor, believes that 2025 marks the beginning of the transition from technical validation to specific emerging application scenarios. Although the large-scale mass production of embodied intelligent robots will still take several years, this is precisely the beginning of the development of robot technology towards higher levels and capabilities and its large-scale penetration into more application scenarios.

Core Link layout: Analysis of ON Semiconductor's embodied Intelligent Solutions
On Semiconductor provides comprehensive and detailed system solution guides for robot subsystems, covering the following areas:
   Sensors (image sensors, ultrasonic sensors, inductive position sensors, pressure sensors, LiDAR, Bluetooth Low Energy BLE 5.2 AoA/AoD)
   Wired communication (CAN, 10BASE-T1S)
   Distribution
   Motor drive
   Battery charging
   LED signal light

    One key challenge for embodied robots is deep perception. In the first quarter of this year, ON Semiconductor launched the Hyperlux ID series sensors, which adopt Indirect Time-of-Flight technology to solve the problem of motion artifacts. They can achieve highly sensitive detection and output accurate perception results, with a resolution of up to 1.2 million pixels and a depth of up to 1 millimeter.
    This depth perception capability is enabling End effectors (also known as robotic arm end tools or EOAts) to perform increasingly precise operational tasks.
    In addition, stereo vision cameras equipped with Hyperlux SG series 1 million /2 million pixel sensors are also suitable for depth-sensing scenarios and serve as an alternative to indirect time-of-flight (iToF) technology.
    In addition, the roller shutter image sensor family (including the ultra-low power Hyperlux LP series and the high dynamic range Hyperlux LH series) is also suitable for object detection and obstacle avoidance.
    In the field of robot applications, one of ON Semiconductor's differentiated competitive advantages is its inductive position sensor technology. Its flagship product, NCS32100, as an absolute rotary encoder, leads the industry in terms of precision when measuring single-turn and multi-turn movements. It can accurately capture parameters such as position, direction, rotational speed, and rotation count, with an accuracy of up to ±50 arcseconds.            Compared with optical encoders, inductive encoders have extremely strong anti-interference capabilities and are less affected by vibrations and contaminants such as dust, water stains, oil stains or metal shavings. Compared with magnetic encoders, this solution not only significantly reduces the cost and quantity of components, but also completely avoids the reliance on rare earth metals.

    In addition to cutting-edge products, ON Semiconductor has also developed the modular process technology Treo platform - which is the industry's most advanced analog and mixed-signal platform. This platform is built on the 65-nanometer BCD (Bipolar CMOS-DMOS) process, adopts a modular architecture and integrates continuously evolving, robust and reliable IP building blocks, which can empower the development of the next generation of power management ics, sensor interfaces, communication equipment and standard product lines.

Bipedal walking, precise operation and long battery life have become the key points of short-term breakthroughs for ON Semiconductor
    Dynamic balance (bipedal walking), fine operation (grasping tiny objects), and battery life (with a target of 8 hours) in the field of embodied robots are regarded as the key areas for short-term research and development. There are still some gaps between the technical level in the laboratory and commercial demands.
    Theo Kersjes said, "Bipedal walking robots have additional safety hazards - these robots need continuous power supply to maintain balance." If a bipedal robot suddenly loses power while walking on the stairs, it may fall down the stairs and hurt people. The current industry is vigorously formulating relevant safety standards."
    In the short term, bipedal/quadruped robots will only be activated in special scenarios, such as security robots that need to patrol across floors and can perform stair climbing tasks during unoccupied hours. At present, the mechanical arm robots on the flat ground of factories mostly adopt wheeled movement because they are more efficient and safer. Mobile Manipulator Robots that combine robotic arms (operating ends) with mobile chassis (platforms) are accelerating their penetration into industrial workflows.
    In the future, these robots will break through the limitations of preset tasks and static environments, adapt to unstructured scenarios through situational learning, achieve cross-scenario capability transfer, and complete the paradigm leap from rule-driven to behavioral intelligence. This evolution is driven by both the basic model and real-time environmental feedback.

On Semiconductor offers the following technologies to drive the development of embodied intelligent robots:
    Treo Analog Mixed-Signal Platform: Creating high-performance analog/mixed-signal products for the next generation of applications
    Intelligent perception sensors: Enabling real-time environmental perception, precise positioning and adaptive decision-making in mobile systems
    Compact low-power perception solution: Compatible with all forms of hardware from wheeled robots to humanoid platforms
    Intelligent power supply products: Optimize battery power consumption management and usage efficiency on mobile platforms
