- Robotics — Web news discoverySignalNXP Launches Modular Robotics Platform for Physical AI Development
On November 9, 2026, NXP Semiconductors announced a new modular robotics platform designed to accelerate physical AI development. The platform includes a Robotics SDK with open-source software such as ROS 2 Jazzy and PX4 autopilot, alongside reference designs for drones that claim initial functionality within 30 minutes. Key hardware components include the NavQ95 i.MX 95 processor for autonomy compute and flight control, and various microcontrollers for sensor networking, motor control, and safety. While the platform is available now, the drone reference designs carry preproduction labels, indicating that specifications may change. NXP plans to expand the platform to service robots and autonomous mobile robots in the second half of 2027.
- Robotics — Web news discoverySignalNXP Unveils Unified Robotics Platform to Speed Trusted Physical AI Deployment
NXP Semiconductors has launched a unified robotics platform designed to accelerate the development of trusted physical AI systems. Built on the Neural Axis Architecture, the platform provides an open-source SDK and reference designs that integrate AI, connectivity, motor control, security, and energy management. Key features include pre-validated interoperable subsystems that allow developers to achieve initial drone functionality in approximately 30 minutes out of the box. The ecosystem supports scaling from individual functions to complete autonomous systems, with current reference designs focused on drones (utilizing components like the NavQ95 and i.MX 95) and future expansion planned for service robots and AMRs by mid-2027. The platform emphasizes security, functional safety, and real-time control, integrating with industry-standard frameworks such as PX4, Zephyr, and ROS 2.
