About this episode

This episode explores the intricacies of robotic motion with Texas Instruments experts, focusing on motor control, sensing, and the importance of hardware in automation.

In this episode, we switch gears and dive deep into the world of robotics with Texas Instruments experts Thomas Schneider and Kristen Mogensen. We dive deep into what really moves industrial robots—from the intricacies of motor control and real-time sensing to the challenges of power stage efficiency and miniaturization. We break down how these hidden systems work together to create reliable, responsive, and safe robotics for the factory floor. Alongside our expert guests, we explore new trends like predictive maintenance, and AI-driven diagnostics, and discuss why hardware is often underestimated in the race toward smarter automation. We share insights on the evolving demands of cobots and humanoid platforms, and what it takes to design compact, high-performance electronics that stand up to real-world conditions. If you want to understand what makes a robot tick—and why the smallest details can make the biggest difference—this episode is for you.
