Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorised global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, equips engineers with the latest innovative solutions in its extensive onlineĀ robotics resource centre. Combining engineering and computer science, robotics continues to drive innovation across industries, reshaping automation, manufacturing, healthcare, and more. From precision-driven industrial systems to AI-enhanced automation, robotics is redefining efficiency, safety, and performance in complex applications.
Advancements in robotics span multiple domains.Ā Soft robotics, designed to mimic organic movement, have revolutionised prosthetic development, enabling lifelike artificial limbs with enhanced dexterity. Meanwhile,Ā sweeping roboticsĀ integrate advanced components like Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors and antennas to optimise autonomous cleaning. In industrial settings, robots automate repetitive and hazardous tasks, boosting productivity, whileĀ collaborative robots (cobots)Ā optimise workflows and free human workers for strategic roles. As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) advance, robots are becoming smarter and more adaptable, paving the way for seamless human-robot collaboration.
Mouser’s robotics content hub provides comprehensive resources, includingĀ articles,Ā blogs,Ā eBooks, and products, designed to guide users through the complexities of robotics. Selecting the right robotic system is crucial to optimising performance in specific environments. Mouser’s expert technical team and trusted manufacturing partners curate technical articles and resources to help engineers identify key differences, such asĀ automated guided vehicles (AGVs) versus autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), helping engineers navigate critical design decisions and implement the most effective robotic solutions.
Mouser stocks the industry’s widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following products and solutions for robotics applications:
āĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā TheĀ AD-GMSL522-SLĀ Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSLā¢) robotics rapid development platform fromĀ Analog Devices, Inc.(ADI)Ā is a GMSL-enabled NVIDIA Jetson Xavierā¢ NX-based carrier board and software solution that allows for simple camera-to-display conversion. This solution creates a scalable, user-friendly GMSL platform for receiving and transmitting data. The platform enables demonstrations and ecosystem development by serving as a hardware platform for software development.
āĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā TheĀ VL53L7CHĀ ToF sensor byĀ STMicroelectronicsĀ is an 8×8 (64 zones) multizone sensor with an ultrawide 90Ā° diagonal Field of View. This sensor offers a Compact and Normalised Histogram innovative output for AI applications that require multizone raw ToF sensor data. The sensor is used in cup rim detection for coffee machines and beverage dispensers, people-counting for smart buildings, and other applications like floor sensing for robotics and vacuum cleaners.
āĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā TheĀ AEAT-901BĀ incremental magnetic encoders byĀ BroadcomĀ provide an integrated solution for angular detection within a complete 360Ā° rotation. These encoders use magnetic technology for motion control and sensing activities, which helps eliminate mechanical contact and free the device from mechanical wear and tear. The magnetic encoders feature 256 to 10,000 CPR resolution, a -40Ā°C to 125Ā°C operating wide temperature range, and a 5V single supply.
āĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā TheĀ RA8E2Ā 480MHz microcontrollers byĀ Renesas ElectronicsĀ achieve 6.39CM/MHz (CoreMarks per MHz), enabling demanding and compute-intensive applications like endpoint AI and robotics. Using the ArmĀ® CortexĀ® M85 core with a 7-stage superscalar pipeline (vs. 6-stage on the CM7 core) brings an unprecedented 30% higher scalar performance, improving efficiency versus the predecessor.
