Read Melexis’ Robotics e-Guide on Mastering the Integration of Sensing Solutions

The document examines how Melexis’s sensor solutions enable engineers to satisfy the industry demand by addressing integration and cost challenges while optimizing designs for performance and scalability.

Tessenderlo-Ham, Belgium, 23 April 2025 - Melexis has launched a new e-Guide, "Engineering the Future of Robotics: Mastering the Integration of Enhanced Sensory Capabilities", exploring the robotics landscape as well as Melexis' latest technologies. The document examines how Melexis's sensor solutions enable engineers to satisfy the industry demand by addressing integration and cost challenges while optimizing designs for performance and scalability.


Empowering Engineers with Advanced Sensor Technologies
This engaging e-Guide, available on the Melexis website, details key innovations in robotic perception technologies such as 3D tactile sensing as well as internal sensing systems such as high-precision magnetic encoders, inductive, current, and temperature sensors.

In this piece, Melexis analyzes the challenges that modern robotics face - from the complexity of integrating high-performance sensing systems into unpredictable environments to the pressures of reducing development time and overall costs. The guide then explores how traditional sensor systems often fall short when addressing the intricate requirements of tactile, positional, and torque feedback in robotic applications, especially in high-volume production.

Innovative Sensing Solutions to Overcome Integration Challenges
Engineers will discover how Melexis' state-of-the-art sensor technologies - including Tactaxis® and Arcminaxis® - not only deliver robust performance but are also specifically designed to ease the transition from prototype to mass production. For instance, Tactaxis® offers precise three-dimensional force measurement that emulates human touch, thereby enabling robots to interact safely and naturally with their environment. This is particularly valuable in collaborative and service robotics, where subtle tactile feedback is critical.

The e-Guide further explores the technical drivers behind Arcminaxis® - Melexis' high-resolution magnetic angular sensing solution that simplifies the mechanical complexities of encoder integration without compromising precision. Also discussed are other robotic-specific solutions such Magnetic, inductive, temperature and current sensors.

Explore the Future of Robotics Innovation
Beyond technical discovery, the guide dives into wider market trends and the future of robotics, providing engineers with practical, real-world examples that underscore the tangible benefits of Melexis' technologies in their applications.

Melexis is dedicated to supporting engineers and product designers who are shaping the future of robotics with innovative engineering solutions, as well as technical resources and content such as this e-Guide.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
