About Aptiv
Aptiv develops the electronic and software architecture used to sense, compute and control increasingly automated machines. Beyond automotive ADAS, the company markets scalable compute, perception, networking and embedded-software capabilities for drones, robots and other industrial platforms.
Its robotics position is enabling rather than a finished-robot business. Aptiv combines components with integration and manufacturing support, allowing customers to move from prototype systems toward production. The company operates globally from Schaffhausen and trades on the NYSE under APTV.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-21 - Partnership - Aptiv expands NVIDIA collaboration on automated-driving platforms
The companies describe Thor-based computing supported entirely by air cooling to reduce thermal-system cost and complexity, particularly for combustion-engine vehicles. The modular architecture accommodates customer-developed, Aptiv, NVIDIA and third-party AI models. Aptiv plans to demonstrate end-to-end AI driving on Hyperion at CES 2027.
Source - 2026-08-25 - Capability - Aptiv extends production support to NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2
The support covers delivery and inspection drones, robotics, industrial automation and other intelligent-edge applications. Aptiv identifies PULSE sensing, Gen 8 radar, Jetson-based compute and Wind River software and lifecycle services as parts of the stack. The announcement expands an existing Jetson collaboration and does not disclose a customer award, order value or production volume.
Source - 2026-08-04 - Market Signal - Aptiv reports robotics commercialisation and July drone-market win
The Q2 revenue figure is company-wide and should not be read as robotics revenue. Management described robotics as having moved from partnership development into commercial activity. Aptiv disclosed a major drone-market commercial win but did not identify the customer or contract value.
Source - 2026-07-14 - Partnership - Wind River technologies anchor Kyndryl-Aptiv global collaboration
Kyndryl will deploy Wind River software within its mission-critical solutions portfolio. The collaboration covers Wind River Cloud Platform, eLxr Pro, VxWorks and Helix Virtualization Platform. Kyndryl will provide advisory, implementation and managed-service support across global markets.

PULSE fuses surround-view camera and ultra-short-range radar inputs. Aptiv will pursue PL(d) certification for relevant industrial safety use cases.
Source - 2026-05-05 - Partnership - Aptiv and Comau sign MOU on robotics and autonomous systems
The evaluation combines Aptiv perception, compute, software and interconnect technology with Comau robotics expertise. Potential work covers autonomous systems plus automated warehouse and logistics solutions.
Source - 2025-11-10 - Partnership - Robust.AI and Aptiv partner on AI-powered collaborative robots
Aptiv’s PULSE sensor combines a surround-view camera with ultra-short-range radar for 360-degree perception. The joint architecture also uses Aptiv machine-learning perception and path-planning software plus Wind River compute platforms. Carter contributes real-time SLAM, holonomic drive and a force-sensitive handlebar for direct human control.
Source - 2023-07-03 - Partnership - Horizon Robotics, Aptiv and Wind River sign vehicle software partnership
Horizon Robotics, Aptiv and Wind River announced a strategic collaboration combining Horizon Journey vehicle-compute chips with Wind River software for integrated solutions aimed at Chinese automakers. Wind River’s supported portfolio includes VxWorks, Helix virtualization, Linux, Studio, containers and middleware running with Journey processors. The programme targets localized edge-to-cloud stacks for software-defined vehicles and automated-driving applications, including smart cameras and centralized multi-domain controllers.
