Building autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) is a complex and challenging task that requires expertise in various domains, including robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and more. To accelerate development of AMRs, Arrow, Qualcomm, and eInfochips collaborated in creating the QCOM AMR reference design. The QCOM AMR reference design accelerates autonomous robot development, backed by Arrow’s engineering services for customization and cost-reduction.

The reference design is based on Qualcomm QCS8550 based EIC’s module and integrates sensor fusion technology and triaxial IMU, for safe and effective navigation. STMicroelectronics (STM) motor drivers, coupled with STM power ICs and an ultra-low-power MCU, ensure efficient motion and long battery life. The reference design also comes with ROS2 based customized software stack for quick prototyping and parallel software development of client’s AMR solution.
