About Espressif Systems
Espressif Systems was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Shanghai. The public fabless semiconductor company listed on the Shanghai STAR Market in 2019 and develops RISC-V and Xtensa-based SoCs, modules, development boards, operating software and cloud-connected tooling. Official company data reports more than 1.5 billion cumulative IoT SoC shipments across all markets.
Robotics exposure comes from the combination of low-cost embedded compute, wireless connectivity and a large open-source developer ecosystem. ESP32 devices can handle peripheral control, communications, machine vision preprocessing and local AI workloads inside robots, but they are not complete autonomy systems. Existing supply evidence links Espressif chips to named robotic products, while the broader installed base spans consumer and industrial IoT. Korthos therefore tracks the repeatable enabling layer without assigning the full shipment total to robotics.
