Robotics is evolving from industrial applications to commercial, residential, and even humanoid general-purpose platforms. Behind this transformation, chips serve as the core driving force—acting as the “brain,” “cerebellum,” and “nervous system”—and their importance is self-evident. As a professional supplier of electronic components, Mingjiada Electronics (Shenzhen) has been deeply rooted in the industry for nearly three decades. The company has established stable partnerships with more than 500 renowned global brands and is committed to providing customers with a full range of products and supply chain services, from high-end AI chips to basic motion control components.
I. AI Decision-Making Chips: The “Intelligent Brain” of Robots
These chips are responsible for environmental perception, task planning, and complex AI inference, serving as the computational core of humanoid robots and high-end service robots.
NVIDIA: Leveraging its powerful GPUs and the CUDA ecosystem, platforms such as the Jetson AGX Orin and Jetson Thor dominate the high-end market and are widely used in humanoid robots and complex AI workloads. The Jetson Thor delivers up to 2,070 TFLOPS (FP4) of AI computing power.
Qualcomm: Its Dragonwing RB series (such as the RB5 platform with 15 TOPS of computing power) and the latest IQ10 series, leveraging high energy efficiency and communication advantages, cover a wide range of applications from service robots to industrial AMRs. The IQ10 series reference design delivers up to 700 TOPS of AI performance.
Domestic Manufacturers: Rockchip (RK3588, etc., with 6 TOPS of computing power) has already been adopted in products from UBTech and Yushu Technology; Horizon Robotics (Journey series, with the Sweet Potato Sunrise S600 reaching 560 TOPS) has repurposed its ADAS chip capabilities for robotics applications; and Sesame Intelligence’s Huashan and Wudang series, along with the SesameX platform, are also actively entering the embodied intelligence sector.
II. Motion Control and MCU Chips: The Robot’s “Cerebellum” and “Nervous System”
These chips are responsible for translating decision-making commands into precise mechanical movements and controlling joint motors, requiring extremely low response latency and highly precise multi-axis synchronization.
International Giants: Texas Instruments’ TMS320F28377D and DRV8313 series, STMicroelectronics’ STM32H7 series, and Infineon’s motor driver chips are the mainstream market choices in the field of servo control and drive.
Domestic Players: Allwinner Technology’s MR series (such as the MR813) is used as a motion coprocessor in products like Xiaomi’s CyberDog; Xianji Semiconductor’s HPM6E00 series integrates an EtherCAT slave controller, enabling microsecond-level coordinated control; and National Semiconductor’s N32H series is specifically designed for dexterous hand control.
III. Perception and Communication Chips: A Robot’s “Senses” and “Nervous System”
Visual Sensing: Sony’s IMX series and OmniVision’s global shutter image sensors are the mainstream choices; domestically, Orbbec holds approximately 70% of the service robot market share in the 3D vision sector.
Communication Interfaces: NXP’s S32K series, TI’s CAN transceivers, and Infineon’s LAN9252 EtherCAT chips are widely used. China’s Chuangyao Technology’s EtherCAT slave controller chips have already entered the supply chains of leading manufacturers.
IV. Power Management and Storage Chips: The Robot’s “Heart” and “Memory”
Power Management: Products from TI, ADI, and Infineon dominate the high-voltage fast-charging and safety monitoring sectors. Domestic companies such as Shengbang and Siripu have also achieved volume shipments in specific market segments.
Storage Chips: A single humanoid robot requires at least 48 storage chips, including NOR Flash from GigaDevice, NAND Flash from Dongxin, and 3D DRAM solutions from Beijing Junzheng.
Mingjiada Electronics (Shenzhen), as your trusted chip supply partner, specializes in distributing products from over 500 well-known brands, including Infineon, ST, TI, NXP, Microchip, ADI, Xilinx, and Qualcomm, covering a full range of components such as AI chips, MCUs, driver ICs, communication chips, and power management chips.
