Mobile robots (AGV, AMR)
Mobile robots have become a firmly established part of day-to-day operations, may it be in logistic and warehouse centers, production sites but also hospitals, restaurants, schools, or as last-mile delivery vehicles of packages and goods.
Many types of mobile robots exist, but on a high level the two main types are:
AGV - Automated Guided Vehicle
AGVs are “fixed”. They follow predefined paths using lasers, sensors, barcodes, or magnetic tape for navigation.
AMR - Autonomous Mobile Robot
AMRs are not “fixed” and don’t need external paths. Autonomously mapping, navigating, and obstacle avoidance by using sensors.

Design with us your subsystem:
- Space and energy saving motor control (motor inverter switches, integrated motor control solutions)
- Efficient power supplies / SMPS for fast charging and wireless charging
- Save battery management systems (BMS)
- Sensing (robot sensing, environment sensing, HMI)
- Connectivity (WiFi, BT, Industrial interfaces, and transceiver)
- Security and safety (embedded security solutions, safety controller and sensor systems)
Service robots increase our effectiveness, but require sophisticated hardware to enable safe operation. Stay tuned to see what Infineon offers!
Do you know what industrial automation is? Join us on this journey through the world of factory automation and find out how semiconductor solutions help factories become smart! Modern industries typically require many coordinated single steps to accomplish a finished product or any activity flow. Imagine this with no automation in place: any high volume outputs or uninterrupted courses of action at a high level of quality and in a short time would not be possible, would it?
After this course you will understand the architecture of the high side gate driver 1EDL8011, know its features, understand its benefits in applications such as power tools, gardening tools, electric bikes, vacuum cleaners, robots and rotorcraft. This training shows you how to facilitate the application design with the 1EDL8011 such as start-up timing and OCP delay which are key design parameters.
