Key use cases for robotics
Humanoids
Humanoid robots are designed to operate safely and autonomously in human environments, performing tasks that require perception, mobility, manipulation, and interaction. Unlike traditional robots, humanoids must navigate unstructured spaces, understand human intent, and adapt in real time to dynamic conditions.
Drones & aerial systems
Aerial autonomy demands maximum performance per watt. Arm’s power-efficient compute enables drones to run advanced onboard intelligence, supporting real-time perception and decision-making within strict thermal and flight-time constraints.
Collaborative robots
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are designed to work safely alongside humans, sharing workspaces and assisting with tasks such as assembly, packaging, material handling, and quality inspection. Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots must combine precision and adaptability with constant awareness of human presence.
Autonomous mobile robots
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are designed to navigate dynamic, human-centric environments without fixed infrastructure, enabling flexible automation in warehouses, factories, hospitals, and commercial facilities. Common use cases include material transport, order fulfillment, inventory management, and last-meter delivery, where AMRs must operate reliably alongside people and other machines.
