About
About ams OSRAM
Robot-perception designs can draw on ams OSRAM’s multi-zone time-of-flight modules, global-shutter image sensors, VCSEL illuminators, colour and spectral sensors, encoders and optical force-sensing front ends. The TMF8829 module, for example, performs multi-zone direct time-of-flight processing on-chip, while BELAGO dot projectors support structured-light and active-stereo systems. These components address obstacle detection, collision avoidance, navigation, material classification and joint or mechanism positioning.
The company organizes its robotics offering across stationary industrial arms, AGVs and AMRs, household machines and humanoid platforms. It supplies sensing and illumination devices to equipment manufacturers and camera vendors instead of building complete robots. That position gives it exposure to several layers of physical AI: perception around the machine, optical feedback inside mechanisms and human-interaction sensing at the interface.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-07-01 - Acquisition - Infineon closes ams OSRAM non-optical sensor acquisition
The acquired products cover position, capacitive and temperature sensing used across automotive, industrial and robotics systems. Infineon estimated that the transferred business would generate about EUR 230 million of revenue in calendar 2026. Infineon says the acquired business is expected to generate about EUR230 million revenue in calendar 2026.
Source - 2026-02-03 - Acquisition - Infineon acquires non-optical analog and mixed-signal sensor portfolio from ams OSRAM
The EUR 570 million cash consideration covered a business expected to generate about EUR 230 million of calendar-2026 revenue and transfer roughly 230 R&D employees. The portfolio includes position, capacitive and temperature sensors plus associated intellectual property, development assets, test equipment and a multi-year supply arrangement. Infineon identified angle and position sensing for robotics as an application strengthened by the transaction; ams OSRAM retained its optical-sensing focus.
