Robotics is emerging as one of the most important growth markets in industry worldwide. Advances in artificial intelligence, sensor technology, connectivity, and automation are enabling ever more powerful and intelligent robotic systems. With its new ‘Rutronik Robotics’ initiative, Rutronik is pooling its technologies, expertise, and partner networks to support customers in developing the next generation of robotics solutions.
Today, robotics applications can be found across numerous industries – from industrial manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare to autonomous systems and intelligent service applications. At the same time, the demands on development teams are rising: modern robotic systems combine motion control, sensor technology, embedded AI, power supply, connectivity, and safety functions in highly complex overall systems.
Against this backdrop, the company is taking a holistic approach with Rutronik Robotics. Customers benefit from a broad portfolio of semiconductors, passive components, electromechanical components, and embedded AI solutions, as well as software and system expertise. This offering is complemented by engineering support, reference designs, and rapid prototyping capabilities via Rutronik System Solutions.
Another key element of Rutronik Robotics is close collaboration with leading technology partners. Right from the launch of the initiative, the first manufacturers are actively participating in the robotics ecosystem. Alongside Infineon, ams-Osram, and Altera, these include RECOM Power GmbH. Their solutions for computing, power supply, power management, and sensing are used in numerous robotics applications and provide key building blocks for high-performance, energy-efficient robotic systems.
“Robotics is on the threshold of a new stage of development. Intelligent, autonomous, and collaborative systems will find their way into more and more applications. With Rutronik Robotics, we are creating an environment that brings customers, technology partners, and developers together to reduce development effort, accelerate innovation, and bring robotics solutions to market faster,” says Fabian Plentz, COO and company spokesperson of Rutronik.
Rutronik’s offering supports a wide range of applications, including industrial robots, SCARA and delta robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), cobots, UAVs, and humanoid robotic systems. In addition, the company is continuously expanding its network of specialised technology partners to give customers access to innovative technologies and practical solution approaches along the entire value chain.
