en.Wedoany.com Reported - As industrial automation evolves towards 5.0, robotics is profoundly reshaping the global industrial landscape. From autonomous mobile robots in logistics and warehousing to visual inspection and collaborative robotic arms on production lines, industrial robots are transforming from tools that execute single tasks into intelligent agents with environmental understanding and decision-making capabilities. They have become key facilities for improving efficiency, optimizing yield rates, and driving digital operations. The key driver of this transformation is shifting from motion control to a comprehensive upgrade of perception systems. The core lies in advancing machine vision from merely "seeing" to "seeing clearly" and "understanding," enabling stable and reliable human-machine collaboration in complex industrial environments.
onsemi's Hyperlux ID series iToF solutions address issues of traditional iToF such as limited ranging, phase ambiguity, and motion artifacts through innovations in the underlying pixel architecture. For example, by adopting dual-frequency mode and global shutter technology, the ranging distance is extended to 30 meters, supporting all-weather operation both indoors and outdoors. The high-resolution design and backside-illuminated pixel architecture achieve a breakthrough quantum efficiency exceeding 40%. Combined with pixel binning technology, it balances close-range precision with long-range sensitivity. The series offers two products: AF0130 and AF0131. The former integrates a depth processing engine, reducing the power consumption and size of industrial robot navigation systems. The latter provides raw phase data, supporting custom algorithm development to meet the needs of devices like AR/VR.
Global shutter technology is crucial for handling high-speed motion scenarios. onsemi's Hyperlux SG series AR0235CS sensor employs a global shutter architecture, enabling simultaneous capture of all pixels to reduce motion artifacts. Combined with full-resolution 120fps high-speed output, it stably captures details in scenarios like high-speed sorting and dynamic grasping. It supports automatic exposure control, enhancing the adaptability of SLAM systems under complex lighting conditions. With a power consumption of only 252mW, it alleviates thermal management pressure, extends the battery life of mobile industrial robots, and offers flexible optical adaptation options.
Regarding perception boundaries, short-wave infrared (SWIR) technology breaks through the limitations of visible light. onsemi reconstructs the SWIR path by integrating colloidal quantum dot technology, reducing costs and incorporating it into the CMOS process system. Meanwhile, industrial vision is moving towards ultra-high resolution. onsemi is proactively developing higher-resolution imaging solutions to support precision tasks such as semiconductor inspection. For system-level stability, onsemi provides Power Tree power management and PRISM reference modules to optimize imaging consistency and reduce development complexity.
