Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader empowering innovation, announces a new eBook in collaboration with onsemi, exploring the transformative impact of robotics in scale, capability, context, and more. What began as fixed industrial machines programmed for repetitive tasks are now evolving into mobile, intelligent systems capable of navigating the physical world with real-time awareness.
In Engineering the Future: The Sensors and Systems Powering Modern Mobile Robots, engineers from onsemi and experts from across the industry discuss the impact of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), the transformative potential of physical AI, and how engineers can develop solutions that are efficient, high-performing, and scalable. The eBook also highlights relevant products from onsemi that can help facilitate this robotic evolution.
The AR0235 digital image sensor, part of onsemi’s Hyperlux SG product family, is a 1/2.8−inch 2.3 MP CMOS digital image sensor with an active−pixel array of 1920 × 1200. It incorporates a new innovative global shutter pixel design optimized for accurate and fast capture of moving scenes at 120 frames per second, full resolution. Its ability to capture both continuous video and single frames makes it the perfect choice for a wide range of applications, including machine vision for AMRs, 3D scanning, AR/VR, and industrial quality control.
The NCV75215 ultrasonic sensor is an application-specific standard product (ASSP) designed to provide time-of-flight measurement for obstacle avoidance and parking assistance. Utilizing a piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, the NCV75215 operates with high sensitivity and low noise, allowing the detection of obstacles from 0.25m to 4.5m. Additionally, the NCV75215 includes EEPROM memory for configuration settings and user data, ensuring reliable and customizable operation.
Both the automation and automotive industries have traditionally used the Controller Area Network (CAN) Protocol to connect their subsystems. However, as these systems evolve, they require higher data throughput, simpler wiring, and denser sensor integration. The NCN26000 Ethernet 10BASE-T1S transceiver, available to order, offers all physical layer features necessary to transmit and receive data over a single unshielded twisted pair. In addition, it provides noise immunity to values well above the IEEE T1S standard.
The NCS32100 Inductive Position Sensor is an absolute rotary encoder offering a full-featured controller and sensor interface for high-resolution, high-accuracy angular sensing up to 50 arcsec. The NCS32100 has flexible configuration capabilities, allowing connection to a variety of inductive PCB sensor patterns and offers a variety of digital output formats. Inductive sensing techniques have unique advantages over traditional position sensor solutions, including but not limited to temperature insensitivity, mechanical simplification, and insensitivity to contaminants like dust, water, oil, or metal particles.
