NXP Semiconductors and NVIDIA announced a new line of integrated robotics solutions that combine NXP’s secure, low‑latency edge processors with NVIDIA’s Holoscan Sensor Bridge. The partnership delivers real‑time sensor fusion, machine vision, and precision motor control in a single, highly integrated package.

The machine‑vision module is built around NXP’s i.MX 95 application processor, while the motor‑control module chains i.MX RT1180 crossover MCUs with an S32J TSN switch. Aviva Links’ high‑throughput SerDes technology and NXP’s automotive‑grade networking provide efficient data transport and secure, real‑time connectivity.

First‑generation products will be available in the first half of 2026 and are aimed at humanoid and other advanced robots. The collaboration is designed to reduce wiring complexity, lower power consumption, and simplify software development for developers building physical AI systems.

NXP’s 2025 revenue was $12.27 billion, and the company forecasts fiscal‑2026 earnings per share of $13.90. In the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue reached $3.34 billion, beating estimates of $3.30 billion and $3.31 billion, and the company guided Q1 2026 revenue to $3.05–$3.25 billion. The robotics launch aligns with NXP’s broader strategy to focus on physical AI and software‑defined vehicles.

"By combining NXP's deep expertise in edge processing, secure networking, functional safety and real‑time control with Nvidia robotics platforms, we are greatly simplifying physical AI development," said Charles Dachs, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Secure Connected Edge at NXP. "The integration provides developers with a foundation to accelerate deployment of physical AI systems," added Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA. Talla also noted that "the development of autonomous machines requires a high‑performance computing architecture that can synchronize complex motor controls with real‑time perception."
