Accelerating Robotics Development with ROS Support

Modern robots rely on complex software frameworks to manage tasks ranging from sensor fusion to motion planning. As the leading standard in robotics software, ROS offers the flexibility and interoperability required to build intelligent, connected robotic systems. However, efficiently integrating ROS across hardware, real-time control, and AI workloads continues to be a significant challenge.

Renesas advantage:

  • ROS 2–ready MPUs (RZ/V2H, RZ/T2H) with optimized drivers and long-term Linux support
  • Reference designs like the ROS body controller to accelerate development
  • Tools and packages for fast integration with sensors, actuators, and cloud services

Empowering Intelligent Robotics with DRP-AI

Robots are increasingly expected to see, understand, and respond in real time, making local AI inferencing essential. Our DRP-AI provides high-performance edge inferencing with ultra-low latency and power efficiency, enabling intelligent robotics across industrial, service, and mobile platforms.

Renesas advantage:

  • DRP-AI accelerators built into RZ/V series MPUs for fast, energy-efficient edge AI
  • Support for mainstream frameworks like TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, and PyTorch via DRP-AI TVM and translator
  • Boards and kits for quick prototyping and demonstration

Ensuring Safe & Reliable Robotic Systems

As robots increasingly take on complex, human-focused roles in factories, homes, and hospitals, functional safety is essential. From collaborative arms to autonomous service robots, developers must create systems that adhere to strict global safety standards—all while maintaining an efficient development process.

Renesas advantage:

  • IEC 61508-certified self-test libraries for RA and RX MCUs
  • Comprehensive safety packages including manuals, sample code, and test reports to streamline compliance
  • Support for Class B and C safety standards across industrial and household robotics platforms
