About Renesas Electronics
Renesas Electronics was formed in 2010 and is headquartered in Tokyo. The semiconductor group combines microcontrollers and microprocessors with analog, power, connectivity and timing products for automotive, industrial, infrastructure and IoT customers.
For robotics, Renesas provides complete design paths rather than a single chip family. RX and RZ processors support deterministic motion control, industrial Ethernet and functional safety; RZ/V devices add onboard vision-AI acceleration; and power devices, PMICs and reference designs cover joints, batteries and charging. NexCOBOT uses Renesas RX and RZ technology in its functional-safety control portfolio for collaborative robots and automation equipment.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-06 - Product Launch - Renesas launches four 100V GaN FETs for robotics and industrial drives
The four 100V devices and evaluation boards are available now, with on-resistance spanning 1.2 to 5 milliohms. Bottom-side and dual-side cooling options use package footprints compatible with silicon devices. Renesas reports 40–70% lower switching losses and up to twice the system power density, depending on the application and architecture.

The lab integrates hardware, software, AI modelling, control, power, sensing and system-level verification for complete robotics solutions. Renesas described the facility as an engineering and co-development hub rather than a product showroom. The company estimates that its current portfolio addresses roughly 30% of a humanoid bill of materials and identifies a potential path to 70%; those percentages are company estimates.
