Helping robots sense their world better

Smart robots play an increasingly important role in industrial automation as well as in private homes. They can take over repetitive as well as dangerous tasks, enabling time and cost savings, safety and flexibility. Smart robotics range from traditional robot arms in production lines (e.g. automotive manufacturers) to mobile robots used in logistics, so-called AGVs (automatically guided vehicles) or AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) to advanced service robots for dedicated functions such as cleaning, inventory monitoring, harvesting and many others. In fact, the biggest fastest growing market is for residential service robots, such as vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers. 

ams OSRAM's miniaturized sensing and illumination solutions are the best choice to increase the performance and precision of robots by making them smarter. Our portfolio covers all the critical sensing function for robots, from environment sensing for obstacle detection, collision avoidance and navigation purposes, to high precision positioning control.
