Elmos says its E524.36 ultrasonic sensor chip is already used in AGIBOT’s wheeled robots. The German chipmaker named that component in a November 11 announcement about its joint demonstration with AGIBOT at electronica in Munich.

The two companies are showing an AGIBOT humanoid at Elmos’s stand during the November 10 to 13 exhibition. Elmos identifies AGIBOT as a customer, but does not name the wheeled robot models using the chip or disclose order volumes or contract value.

One existing use, a broader sales pitch

Elmos is pitching automotive chip functions for use throughout a humanoid: motor control for joints, sensors for position and nearby objects, network chips linking the electronics, and power protection.

The announcement distinguishes an existing sensor application from possible uses. It says electronic fuses could protect robot power distribution in the future. It also says a single humanoid “could integrate more than 120 Elmos ICs.” That is Elmos’s estimate of potential chip content, not a disclosed parts count for the robot on its stand.

E524.36 is the only Elmos component the announcement names as already used in AGIBOT’s robots.
