About Analog Devices
Analog Devices supplies semiconductor, sensing, power and connectivity technologies used inside industrial robots and autonomous mobile systems. Its robotics portfolio spans motion control, functional safety, time-of-flight sensing, machine learning and high-speed industrial communications.
Robot builders integrate these components and reference platforms into mounted robots, cobots, humanoids and mobile robots. Analog Devices provides enabling electronics and system design resources; the completed robot, autonomy stack and application validation remain with the equipment developer.
