If the robot wants to move autonomously, it needs to have 3D perception (3D perception) function, and various sensors must be used to grasp the position of the robot in space in real time, among which LiDAR (laser radar) can provide high-precision position sensing, which has received the most attention from the industry. In addition, the robot also needs to be driven by motors to perform precise movements of itself or its limbs. This article will introduce you to the development of LiDAR technology and the LiDAR and motor drive solutions introduced by ROHM.
After more than fifty years of historical development, the complexity of converting DC voltage into another DC voltage display in electronic circuits has continued to increase, and modern designs have incredibly high power density while increasing efficiency to maintain small power. RECOM has many innovative designs that apply high-power supply design techniques to low-power converters in small packages.
With the increasing demand for automation in the 21st century, robots are advancing at an unprecedented pace in numerous industries such as logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and food distribution. Human-machine interaction, precise control and human-machine collaboration security are the cornerstones of automation adoption. Safe and precise control of the robot's multifaceted tasks, such as collision detection, obstacle avoidance and navigation, is achieved by a suite of sensors.
