Timeline
Events
- 2026-03-10 - Partnership - Noble Machines and Schaeffler partner on actuators and Newton simulation
The actuator platform uses Texas Instruments chipsets, while its digital twin runs in the Newton physics engine built on NVIDIA Warp and OpenUSD. The models account for manufacturing differences, lubricant and seal aging, and the energy demands of physical hardware. The partners also describe online self-diagnosis that uses controller effort to identify wear and environmental changes and adjust robot control.
Source - 2026-03-05 - Partnership - Texas Instruments partners with NVIDIA to accelerate humanoid robot safety and validation
Texas Instruments said it is working with NVIDIA to accelerate the safe deployment of humanoid robots into real-world environments. The announcement combines TI's real-time motor control, sensing, radar and power technologies with NVIDIA's robotics compute, Ethernet-based sensing and simulation stack. TI said the joint approach helps robotics developers validate perception, actuation and safety earlier and more accurately in development workflows.
Source - 2026-02-04 - Acquisition - Texas Instruments agrees to acquire Silicon Labs for $7.5 billion
Silicon Labs shareholders are to receive $231.00 per share in cash under the signed agreement. The approximately $7.5 billion enterprise-value transaction would add Silicon Labs’ secure low-power wireless portfolio to Texas Instruments. Completion remains subject to shareholder, antitrust and other regulatory approvals, so Silicon Labs continues as a standalone listed company pending close.
Source - 2026-01-02 - Demonstration - Algorized and KUKA demonstrate predictive robot safety at CES 2026
Algorized ran its people-sensing model directly on the robot rather than relying on cloud processing. The system classified people, detected micro-motion and vital signs, inferred movement intent and adjusted the KUKA arm's speed in real time. Texas Instruments' IWR6843AOP mmWave radar supplied SIL2-certified sensing through darkness, clutter and partial occlusion.
Source - 2025-12-14 - Partnership - UBTECH signs robotics cooperation agreement with Texas Instruments
Walker S2 combined RGB binocular perception with autonomous dual-battery swapping for sustained factory use. The platform was rated for handling loads up to 15 kilograms across a zero-to-1.8-metre workspace.
Source - 2025-01-09 - Demonstration - Apptronik demonstrates Apollo at CES 2025
The robot used Texas Instruments modules internally and appeared at the semiconductor company’s show area. TechCrunch’s observer reported smooth motion and camera interaction, while describing the showcase as a demonstration rather than autonomous factory operation.
