The next trillion-dollar industry is emerging: Physical AI. As intelligence moves beyond the cloud and into the physical world, humanoid robots must not only perceive and reason, but also move with agility, precision, and safety. At the heart of this challenge lies motor control, where actuators represent one of the largest cost, performance, and reliability drivers within humanoid robotic systems.
To meet the demanding requirements of next-generation robots, actuator systems must become more power-efficient, compact, durable, and inherently safe while delivering human-like motion and responsiveness. Advanced semiconductor technologies are the key enablers of this transformation, providing the intelligence, sensing, power management, and motor control capabilities required to achieve high-performance robotic motion.
In this webinar, we will explore how Infineon's semiconductor portfolio is helping shape the future of humanoid robotics through innovative motor control solutions. We will showcase a new system-level demonstration platform designed to accelerate development, simplify design implementation, and help customers reduce time-to-market with scalable and optimized motor control architectures tailored for humanoid applications.
