Sensor fusion is enabling the next wave of smart, autonomous robots

Sensors in robots that mimic human vision are accelerating automation, improving reliability and safety, and making our lives easier

29 MAR 2022 | Technology

Autonomous robots – intelligent machines that sense and navigate without human control or intervention – are becoming part of our everyday lives. Through advances in sensor fusion – or combining data from multiple sensing modalities like TI mmWave radar on a processor – they’re improving the efficiency of e-commerce, unlocking productivity in factories and warehouses, performing last-mile delivery in cities, and even doing some of our household chores.

Watch the video to learn more about how advanced sensing and embedded processing technologies, which are at the heart of these remarkable machines, are accelerating automation, improving reliability and safety, and making our lives easier.
