MUNICH, Ge ma y, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NXP Semico ducto s N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today a ou ced its ew u ified obotics platfo m built o NXP’s Neu al Axis A chitectu e, a dist ibuted fou datio that secu ely co ects se si g, eal-time co t ol, AI p ocessi g a d commu icatio s ac oss obotic systems. The platfo m delive s a u ified ha dwa e a d softwa e ecosystem combi i g NXP’s secu e, safety-e abled tech ologies.
Usi g a si gle validated developme t expe ie ce, develope s ca quickly scale f om si gle fu ctio s to complete t usted physical AI systems. Fo example, a develope may begi by evaluati g a moto co t ol subsystem, which has bee tested a d validated with the SDK. Usi g the u ified obotics SDK, efe e ce desig s a d platfo m a chitectu e, develope s ca the easily add AI-based pe ceptio , flight co t ol a d avigatio to build a complete auto omous d o e faste .
Robotic subsystems must wo k togethe seamlessly ac oss eve y fo m facto , which ca take develope s mo ths to i teg ate a d validate. NXP’s u ified obotics platfo m cuts this effo t to days o weeks th ough p e-i teg ated softwa e a d validated subsystem i te ope ability, built o a secu e ha dwa e fou datio d aw f om NXP’s b oad po tfolio, f eei g develope s to diffe e tiate a d i ovate.
“As auto omous obots i c easi gly move beyo d co t olled e vi o me ts a d i to the spaces whe e people live a d wo k, t ust becomes a p e equisite fo adoptio ,” said Je ome Leg os, Vice P eside t a d Ge e al Ma age , Robotics, NXP Semico ducto s. “To delive that t ust, develope s eed a fou datio desig ed with secu ity, fu ctio al safety, eal-time co t ol a d full lifecycle eliability i mi d. NXP’s u ified obotics platfo m b i gs togethe these o – egotiable capabilities i a scalable a chitectu e that helps develope s build the ext ge e atio of t usted physical AI systems.”
“Fo d o e develope s, speed is c itical. Ma kets evolve quickly, custome equi eme ts cha ge apidly a d ew auto omous capabilities a e co sta tly eme gi g,” said James McClea e , CTO, blueflite. “NXP’s u ified obotics platfo m is a eady-to-build fou datio that sho te s developme t cycles, allowi g us to evaluate ew ideas, p ototype faste a d b i g i ovative solutio s to ma ket mo e efficie tly.”
“I high-pe fo ma ce obotics, pa ticula ly d o e systems, p ocessi g powe alo e is ’t e ough,” said S dja Kovačević, CEO & Co-Fou de , O qa. “You eed efficie t commu icatio betwee computi g eleme ts, p edictable behavio a d ext emely low late cy. Wo ki g closely with NXP helps us add ess these challe ges at a a chitectu al level, givi g us a st o ge fou datio fo the ext ge e atio of obotic systems.

Desig ed to wo k with i dust y-sta da d obotics f amewo ks, NXP’s u ified obotics platfo m establishes a commo ha dwa e a d softwa e fou datio fo obotics developme t. The ope -sou ce, modula SDK p ovides suppo ted d ive s, middlewa e i teg atio , efe e ce applicatio s, co figu atio tools a d eusable softwa e compo e ts. This i cludes i teg atio s with established ope -sou ce tech ologies i cludi g PX4, Zephy a d ROS 2. The platfo m’s efe e ce desig s i co po ate secu e p ocessi g, dete mi istic eal-time co t ol a d safety- eady system a chitectu es built f om NXP’s b oad ha dwa e po tfolio, e abli g develope s to build obots capable of ope ati g safely a d eliably i eal-wo ld e vi o me ts.
The platfo m’s p ototype- eady efe e ce desig s combi e NXP’s secu e, safety-e abled solutio s. The fi st efe e ce desig s u de the u ified obotics platfo m suppo t d o es, i cludi g auto omous compute a d flight co t ol usi g the NavQ95 based o the i.MX 95 applicatio s p ocesso ; flight ma ageme t usi g the T opic VMU/FMU based o the i.MX RT1064 c ossove MCU; i tellige t se so etwo ki g usi g the 100Base-T1 Se so Node based o the MCX N947 MCU; a d moto co t ol usi g the AM32-complia t elect o ic speed co t olle based o the MCX A13 MCU. Each i cludes the safety a d secu ity e ableme t of the desig ’s p ima y p ocesso , which ca be e abled i depe de tly of obotics-specific fu ctio ality. Suppo ted by the obotics SDK, these efe e ce desig s allow develope s to delive a i itial d o e fu ctio ality withi 30 mi utes out of the box.
While the fi st desig s suppo t d o es, the platfo m will exte d ac oss a multitude of auto omous systems equi i g pe ceptio , avigatio , moto co t ol, co ectivity a d safe eal-time ope atio . Futu e desig s will add ess se vice obots, auto omous mobile obots (AMRs), a d othe auto omous systems.
