About
About Sony Semiconductor Solutions
Sony Semiconductor Solutions develops image sensors, vision processors and sensing modules used in cameras, vehicles, industrial equipment and autonomous machines. Its robotics-relevant portfolio includes global-shutter sensors for fast motion, time-of-flight depth sensing, event-based vision and compact edge-AI processing through the AITRIOS platform.
These components provide visual perception inside robots, drones, smart cameras and inspection systems, with hardware and development tools supporting image capture, inference and data management close to the device. Sony manufactures semiconductor products and works with equipment makers on integration, supplying sensing building blocks rather than complete robotic platforms.
