Solution Overview
As a highly complex mechatronic system, humanoid robots require chips that achieve breakthroughs in areas such as real-time control, energy efficiency, integration, communication capabilities, and reliability. For example, high-performance real-time computing must support parallel control of multi-joint motors, sensor fusion (IMU/force sensing/vision), stringent energy efficiency, highly integrated and compact packaging, high-speed real-time communication, and industrial-grade reliability.
To meet these demanding requirements, GigaDevice leverages years of technological expertise in memory, MCU microcontrollers, and analog products, focusing on "high performance + high reliability." The company offers a comprehensive portfolio, including GD32 MCUs, Flash, and analog products, to deliver an integrated core control system solution for humanoid robots.
