Infineon Technologies is providing a scalable, integrated motor control solution for humanoid robots on the NVIDIA developer platform, enabling the implementation of humanoid robots with precise movements and efficiency.

Infineon announced on the 26th that it will enable OEMs and ODMs to quickly implement scalable and precise robotic systems by combining Infineon's microcontroller, sensor and smart actuator technologies with NVIDIA Jetson Thor series modules.

Humanoid robots are increasingly being utilized in various industrial fields such as manufacturing, logistics, and medicine, and precise movements and real-time control are emerging as key requirements.

Infineon's PSOC™ and AURIX™ microcontroller families provide secure and responsive multicore real-time processing capabilities, safely supporting robots' sensing, movement, motion, and connectivity functions.

“We are excited to collaborate with NVIDIA to provide our customers with integrated, scalable solutions and accelerate their time to market,” said Johan Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. “Infineon offers comprehensive support for key functional blocks of humanoid robots, including power switches, sensors and connectivity.”uo; was revealed.

“Jetson Thor is the platform for the future of physical AI and robotics,” said Deepu Tala, vice president of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA. “Integrating Infineon’s technology into the Jetson ecosystem will deliver even more powerful and efficient motor control solutions.”

In this collaboration, Infineon supplies the PSOC Control C3 microcontroller, which is fully integrated with the NVIDIA Holoscan sensor bridge.

The product is combined with the Jetson Thor module to provide real-time inference performance and scalability, and minimizes vibration in humanoid systems by realizing noise reduction and stable torque output through the field-oriented-control (FOC) algorithm.

Infineon also provides high-density, high-efficiency motor control chipsets, gate drivers, and current sensors, including GaN (gallium nitride)-based transistor technology, to solve complex communications and design challenges.

With the recent acquisition of Marvell's Automotive Ethernet business unit, the BRIGHTLANE™ series has been added to the portfolio, further enhancing robot connectivity by supporting high-speed Ethernet capabilities.
