Yole Group forecasts the humanoid robot market will grow to $51 billion by 2035.
Motion, magnetic, MEMS microphone, and distance sensors enable robots to understand their environments, navigate, and interact with the world around them. AI-driven robotics require smart, precise sensors to move smoothly, operate safely, and reliably perform their tasks. High-quality sensors result in safe movement, seamless navigation, and capabilities that both amaze and get delicate work done.
Smooth and consistent movement with TDK 9- and 6-axis TDK SmartMotionβ’ IMUs for robotics
- Detect direction and speed of movement
- Add stability to cameras for clearer imaging
Delicate movements require the exact sensing of controls and moving parts, such as articulated arms or rolling wheels, that TMR sensors deliver
- Use TMR sensors for micrometer scale angle and smooth movement sensing
- Achieve sensitive and delicate control through accurate detection to feed motor control
Give your robot the ability to hear commands and key sounds clearly, even in noisy environments, using TDK MEMS microphones
- Better recognize spoken words to foster improved human interactions in any environment
- Detect sound accurately with ultra-low power and wake on voice
Avoid obstacles and give your robot the ability to map our objects surrounding it with TDK ultrasonic sensors
- Sense surrounding objects to actively navigate around the world without collisions or falls
- Sense and wake up in the presence of movement
Smooth and precise motor control with obstacle and presence detection for safety
- Factory automation, such as assembly, welding, painting
- Inventory robots to check inventory levels and restock
- Logistics and acoustic asset monitoring
Human-like movement and complex, multi-faceted sensing as humanoids need to safely interact with people in open-ended human environments
- Robots to assist people, such as the elderly or those with mobility limitations
- Humanoids to work in human environments with voice interactions
- Entertainment, hospitality, and security
Specialized robots to perform specific household roles
- Vacuums, lawn mowers, and pool cleaners
- Robotics pets, companions, toys, and teachers
- Cooking, laundry automation, and drink preparation
