Insights
Valens Semiconductor's partnership with RGo Robotics and CHERRY Embedded Solutions targets a critical technical bottleneck in AI robotics development. This collaboration integrates Valens' VA7000 MIPI A-PHY connectivity chipsets with RGo's Perception Engine and CHERRY's hardware modules to address the significant challenge of sensor placement in robotic systems.
The partnership provides strategic value by solving a specific engineering constraint: traditionally, the range of camera interfaces forces processing units to be placed adjacent to cameras, increasing both
This technological approach delivers three concrete benefits: design flexibility (optimized camera positioning without proximity constraints), cost reduction (fewer distributed processing components required), and performance enhancement (maintaining signal integrity in electromagnetically challenging environments). The solution particularly benefits autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, and service robots - all fast-growing segments within the industrial automation market.
The partnership expands Valens' addressable market beyond its traditional automotive focus, leveraging its automotive-grade connectivity standard in adjacent industrial applications. For Valens investors, this represents meaningful diversification and a path to capture value in the expanding robotics and automation sectors without requiring significant product redevelopment.
HOD HASHARON,
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.
"Our Robotics Perception Engine demands high-quality video data, and that's exactly what Valens' connectivity solution provides while allowing us to distance the processing unit from the sensors," said Amir Bousani, Co-Founder & CEO at RGo Robotics. "This will lead to more sensor fusion with optimized designs, while significantly reducing system costs and complexity."
"Our collaboration with RGo Robotics underscores the critical role of MIPI A-PHY technology in delivering high-performance connectivity for AI-driven perception systems," said Gili Friedman, Head of the Cross-Industry Business Unit at Valens Semiconductor. "With our VA7000 MIPI A-PHY chipsets, we're allowing robotics developers to optimize camera placement in their systems, paving the way for smarter, more efficient automation. This automotive-grade standard is the foundation for innovation, across industries."
"The addition of Valens VA7000 MIPI A-PHY connectivity into our portfolio opens new opportunities for our platform," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, Head of Business Development at CHERRY Embedded Solutions. "Valens and A-PHY solve a pain point for the machine vision industry. With this standard, our customers will be able to simplify their multi-camera system architecture."
