In 9 Experts Discuss Robotics, AI, and ML in Industrial Applications, engineers from ADI, Samtec, and other companies discuss how AI and ML have introduced unprecedented levels of adaptability to the factory floor.

April 28, 2025 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today announces a new eBook in collaboration with Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) and Samtec exploring how robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming the landscape of manufacturing, logistics, and beyond. By enhancing automation with precision motion control, sensor-based perception and adaptive capabilities, designers are able to create robotic solutions that enable more reliable, real-time operation and safety in dynamic environments.

In 9 Experts Discuss Robotics, AI, and ML in Industrial Applications, engineers from ADI, Samtec, and other companies discuss how AI and ML have introduced unprecedented levels of adaptability to the factory floor. Through AI and ML, robots are now able to perceive their environment, recognize patterns, and make decisions based on real-time data. The eBook also highlights many of the products that both ADI and Samtec offer that support the integration of AI and ML into industrial automation.

The ADI TMCM-2611-AGV brushless DC (BLDC) module, available from Mouser, is a reference design for a dual-axis servo drive platform. The module supports 3-phase BLDC motors and offers RS485, CAN, and USB interfaces with TMCL™ protocol for communication. Applications for the TMCM-2611-AGV module include robotics, laboratory and factory automation, and more.

Robots use LiDAR, cameras, radar, and inertial measurement sensors (IMU) to navigate their surroundings. ADI's time-of-flight (ToF) sensors, such as the ADTF3175 time-of-flight module, and their radar solutions, such as the ADF5902 radar transmitter, enable industrial robots to achieve precise depth perception, long-range awareness, and cohesive environmental understanding for advanced autonomy.

The Samtec URSA® I/O cable-to-cable and cable-to-board solutions achieve four points of contact for a reliable connection in a small form factor, which allows for extreme density. These interconnects enable reliable power distribution and are able to withstand harsh industrial environments.
The GC47 Magnum RF™ ganged cable assemblies by Samtec are low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnect solutions that are suitable for use in complex AI-driven robotic systems, ensuring signal integrity.

Samtec's FireFly™ optical transceiver solutions enable designers to use micro-footprint high-performance optical and cost-effective copper interconnects interchangeably with the same connector system. The FireFly interconnects are ideal for handling high data rates for vision-based and multi-sensor applications.
