secure boot mechanisms, encrypted communication
channels, and intrusion detection systems.
Texas Instruments provides customers with
connectivity and safety solutions that
• Enable robust wired and wireless communication
through industrial-grade Ethernet, CAN, and low-
latency wireless interfaces;
• Can efficiently achieve IEC 61508 system
safety certification by using Texas Instruments'
functional safety-compliant analog and embedded
processing products, safety documentation, and
software resources;
• Enhance obstacle detection and collision avoidance
by integrating high-performance radar, LiDAR, and
multi-camera vision processing with integrated
image signal processing capabilities;
• Secure AMR communication networks with
encrypted data transmission, secure boot
mechanisms, and intrusion detection features; and
• Enable sensor processing with deep
learning acceleration for AI-based
obstacle detection.
Cybersecurity becomes critical
as AMRs connect to cloud
systems and remote platforms.
Unauthorized actors could alter
their path or cause disruptions,
making strong security
measures essential to protect
both the robot and its network."
