This collaboration combines RGo’s Perception Engine, Valens’ VA7000 MIPI A-PHY chipsets, and CHERRY’s Rockchip-based hardware module.
Valens Semiconductor, RGo Robotics, and CHERRY Embedded Solutions, announced a partnership to enhance the design and deployment of AI robotic systems. This collaboration integrates RGo’s advanced Perception Engine, Valens’ VA7000 MIPI A-PHY connectivity chipsets, and CHERRY’s Rockchip-based hardware module, delivering unprecedented design flexibility, cost-efficiency, and performance for mobile machines manufacturers, without compromising on performance.
Advanced robotic and intelligent mobile systems rely on AI algorithms, operating primarily on video data from cameras. Short-range connectivity constraints of camera interfaces have often forced developers to place processing units adjacent to cameras, increasing system cost and complexity. Valens’ MIPI A-PHY solution, offers the robotics industry reliable high-bandwidth extension.
MIPI A-PHY is the first SerDes standard for sensor connectivity of the widely used CSI-2 interface, ensuring the reliable extension of high-bandwidth video to a centralized processing unit over extended distances. As a standard designed for automotive environments, MIPI A-PHY offers exceptional signal integrity for highly demanding electromagnetic conditions. As such, the technology is well suited for machine vision applications including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), edge perception for human-driven machines, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and service robots.
