Key Points
• Robot controllers serve as the core of AMR
functionality, processing sensor data;
executing SLAM algorithms; and balancing
computational performance, power efficiency,
and real-time responsiveness.
• Perception sensors, including LiDAR, radar,
cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, enable AMRs to
detect obstacles, map environments, and operate
in dynamic conditions using sensor fusion.
• Designing AMRs requires balancing centralized
and decentralized control architectures,
functional safety considerations, and
computational efficiency.
• Texas Instruments provides high-performance
Arm
®
-based processors, millimeter-wave radar,
pre-certified functional safety components, and
power management solutions for improved AMR
navigation, perception, and energy efficiency.
