Elmos Semiconductor SE, together with its customer AGIBOT, a leading Chinese robotics company, is presenting applications and use cases for Elmos integrated circuits in humanoid robots at electronica 2026 in Munich. The companies are demonstrating a humanoid AGIBOT robot in action at Hall C3, Booth 141, from November 10 to 13, 2026, marking the first time Elmos has showcased its technologies for robotics at the trade fair.
The announcement matters because it signals a strategic expansion for Elmos beyond its core automotive business. Humanoid robots are complex, autonomous, battery-powered systems made up of computers, sensors and actuators. Their electronic architecture is similar in many respects to that of modern vehicles, allowing Elmos to transfer its automotive expertise in sensing, motor control, communication and power supply to robotics applications. According to the company, a single humanoid robot could integrate more than 120 Elmos ICs across its architecture.
Elmos motor control ICs precisely control the electric motors in a robot’s joints and limbs, enabling smooth, finely tuned movements and helping adjust force and speed to the task at hand. Sensor ICs enable capacitive touch, proximity, PIR and ultrasonic sensing, as well as position and force measurement, providing important information about the robot’s status and supporting safe movement and interaction with people and the surrounding environment. Elmos’ USPA IC E524.36 is already used in AGIBOT’s wheeled robots.
Network ICs connect central computing units with sensors, actuators and other edge applications in the robot, enabling fast, reliable data exchange between system components similar to the zonal architectures used in modern vehicles. Elmos’ Quantum Random Number Generator can provide random numbers to support cryptographic processes and thereby help protect communications. In the future, Elmos eFuse ICs could help electronically protect and monitor power distribution in the robot.
Current studies forecast a substantial long-term market potential for humanoid robots, and as adoption grows, demand for semiconductors is also expected to rise significantly. Humanoid robotics is a natural extension of Elmos’ expertise in analog mixed-signal semiconductor solutions at the intelligent edge of the system and opens up an additional long-term growth area. The demonstration at electronica 2026 brings this potential to life, showing how semiconductor functions can work together across a range of robotics applications.
AGIBOT, a pioneer in the global general-purpose AI robotics industry, integrates motion intelligence, interaction intelligence and manipulation intelligence into a unified embodied system. Its portfolio includes humanoid robots, quadruped robots, robotic systems with fine-motor capabilities and commercial cleaning solutions. In September 2026, AGIBOT announced that its 20,000th robot had rolled off the production line. The original release is available through www.newmediawire.com.
