At Embedded World 2024 (#ew24), Amit from eInfochips, a part of Arrow Company, showcased an autonomous mobile robot capable of navigating between points while avoiding dynamic obstacles. Packed with advanced technology, including time-of-flight sensors, imaging sensors, IMU, and powered by an NVIDIA main processor, it's far from being a mere toy. The motor control and power management, including batteries, are handled by Analog Devices components, showcasing a sophisticated design.

Although initially conceived as a demonstration tool to showcase Arrow and eInfochips' capabilities, the robot is not yet commercially available as a kit. However, it serves as a reference solution, with the motor control and power board likely to be offered as a reference design in the future. This flexibility enables scalability, from handling 50 kilos to 1 ton, aimed at significantly reducing the time to market for potential customers.

Interestingly, the conversation delves into the possibility of sending such technology to other planets, although it remains speculative at this stage. The robot, originally named Arrow Bot, has been rebranded as Smart Rover, aligning it more closely with its capabilities and purpose. eInfochips, being an Arrow Company, emphasizes its role as an engineering design and services firm acquired by Arrow in 2018, now fully integrated to provide comprehensive support to Arrow's customers.

While Arrow focuses on selling components, eInfochips specializes in offering design and engineering services, providing end-to-end solutions to bring products to market efficiently. This integration is seen as highly complementary, enhancing the overall value proposition for customers seeking both components and design support. Moreover, the collaborative approach streamlines operations and ensures a seamless experience for clients.

Beyond the showcased robot, eInfochips has other areas of focus at the event, including an Ed program primarily centered around Qualcomm SoCs. This program likely involves educational initiatives or products related to Qualcomm's System on Chips, demonstrating a diverse portfolio of expertise. The presence of multiple areas of interest underscores eInfochips' multifaceted approach and commitment to innovation across various domains.

The conversation hints at the presence of a colleague who specializes in Qualcomm SoCs, indicating a team-based approach to engaging with visitors at the event. This collaborative effort allows for a more comprehensive presentation of their capabilities and offerings, catering to a broader audience with diverse interests and needs. Overall, eInfochips' participation at Embedded World 2024 reflects its position as a leading player in engineering design, services, and technology integration within the Arrow ecosystem.
