Infineon Teams Up With NVIDIA to Improve Motion in Humanoid Robots

• The integration combines Infineon’s microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators with NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor modules.
• The joint platform helps OEMs and ODMs build more efficient and scalable motor control systems for humanoid robots.

Infineon Technologies is partnering with NVIDIA to accelerate the development of humanoid robotics. The collaboration combines Infineon’s microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators with NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor Series modules, allowing OEMs and ODMs to build integrated motor control systems at scale.

“NVIDIA Jetson Thor is designed to accelerate the future of physical AI and robotics,” said Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA, in a press release. “Infineon is bringing their broad product and technology portfolio to the Jetson Thor ecosystem to help accelerate customers’ time-to-market by creating more efficient, powerful and scalable motor control solutions for humanoid robots.”

As part of the integration, Infineon is providing its PSOC Control C3 microcontrollers, which connect to NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor platform through the Holoscan Sensor Bridge. These chips manage precise motor control, helping reduce noise and maintain stable torque to limit vibration.

Infineon offers a full solution for humanoid robotics, including its microcontrollers, including AURIX and PSOC, which are built for secure, real-time processing in demanding environments. Alongside these, its motor control chipset includes GaN transistors, gate drivers, and current sensors, which simplify design and reduce mechanical noise in humanoid robots.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

With Jetson Thor now available, partnerships like this one with Infineon show how NVIDIA is positioning it as the core of a broader robotics ecosystem, making it easier for developers to build and scale complex systems.
