As a semiconductor applications engineering
leader with an academic background in AI, I am
excited to introduce this thought-provoking
eBook. My semiconductor solutions experience
plus academic background in machine vision and
AI, including a thesis on skin cancer detection,
has fueled my passion for physical AI and
robotics. As VP of Applications Engineering at
onsemi, my team integrates diverse technologies
into Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs),
showcasing onsemi's products like world-class
imagers, sensors, and advanced power solutions.
This holistic approach builds comprehensive
robotic platforms, highlighting AMRs' potential
in various industries.
onsemi collaborates with processor and GPU
vendors to create a state-of-the-art robotics
demonstration platform, including sensor drivers
and a hardware abstraction layer for seamless
integration. Our team has developed the third
generation of our robot demo,
demonstrating the practical
benefits of our integrated
solutions. This eBook
explores the transformative
impact of AMRs, driven
by innovations and
collaborative efforts
within our company and
ecosystem partners. I hope
you find this eBook as
inspiring and informative as
I have.
