Hsinchu, Taiwan – August 17, 2026 – Realtek Semiconductor will participate in the "WRC World Robot Conference" held at the Beijing Etrong International Exhibition & Convention Center from August 19 to 23, 2026. This exhibition is a landmark event in the field of robotics, showcasing the latest humanoid robots, core components, and application scenarios. Realtek presented its theme "Connecting Silicon, Awakening Body" by showcasing integrated IC solutions for humanoid and industrial robots. The Realtek solution permeates the entire body of the robot, enabling stable and efficient information transmission. This awakens the robot's body and perception, allowing it to achieve highly precise motion control and data transmission, showcasing its application integration capabilities.
EtherCAT MCU Driver and Single Pair Ethernet PHY Solutions
The EtherCAT MCU driver solution provides highly configurable servo control for industrial and humanoid robots. In industrial robot applications, this solution perfectly integrates with servo motors and drive systems, meeting the requirements for high load, high repeat positioning accuracy, and multi-axis synchronous operation. Additionally, its highly flexible architecture can extend to the neck drive motors and limb joints of humanoid robots, utilizing a 600MHz RISC-V core for real-time computation of the precise control of joint motors through FOC and using the EtherCAT network interface to ensure that all joints can synchronously respond to central commands.
For humanoid robots or robotic arms that require lightweight internal space and weight, the 100/1000BASE-T1 single-pair Ethernet PHY solution can significantly reduce wiring and save internal channel space. The 100BASE-T1 is designed for terminal nodes and drive units with low data volume and high real-time requirements, providing stable, zero-delay command transmission with extremely low power consumption. The 1000BASE-T1 is aimed at high-speed interconnection between large data collection, environmental sensing, or core control centers, ensuring real-time upload of high-load data.
High-Performance Ethernet Switch Solutions for Data Distribution and Timing Scheduling
An 8*GE+2*10GE Ethernet switch builds an efficient distributed backbone architecture for robotics. This solution connects directly to the central AI controller and gateway via dual 10GE ultra-high-bandwidth channels, ensuring high-speed interconnectivity for vision and spatial data. Meanwhile, eight GE ports deliver precise data traffic segmentation to limb joint controllers, voice systems, and various peripheral modules, seamlessly integrating all distributed nodes across the robot.
Engineered for complex dynamic control requirements, the Automotive Single Pair Ethernet TSN Switch features time-sensitive networking for real-time deterministic control. It ensures ultra-precise timing scheduling while robots execute complex commands like dynamic locomotion and dexterous manipulation. Simultaneously, incorporating the lightweight nature of automotive single-pair Ethernet technology significantly enhances communication stability and spatial efficiency within the robot.
High-Speed Image Transmission Automotive SerDes Alliance Communication Solution
The Automotive SerDes Alliance communication solution delivers ultra-high-speed image transmission leveraging Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology. Based on the open standard ASA-ML technology, this solution provides top-tier performance comparable to existing proprietary protocols, complete with robust built-in cybersecurity mechanisms and timestamping capabilities. Whether for the vision systems of humanoid robots or the precision sensors of industrial robots, this solution meets the demanding requirements for high-precision spatial awareness and ultra-low-latency image transmission.
Type-C PD and USB Interface Expansion Solution
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of internal high-speed data transmission and power management in robotics, this interface solution delivers comprehensive connectivity and signal compensation. The integrated Type-C PD with a power switch (PSW) enables high‑power bidirectional power delivery alongside robust safety protection. Paired with a USB3.2 Gen2x1 10Gb redriver and an eUSB2 repeater, it effectively compensates for cable attenuation to ensure stable transmission of vision data and control commands. Furthermore, the PD-integrated hub controller not only enhances system scalability but also seamlessly bridges the mainboard with diverse applications, including vision, acoustic, and radar sensors.
Comprehensive Wireless Communication Module Solution
Designed to satisfy the high real-time requirements between robots, this wireless solution delivers ultra-high bandwidth and superior anti-interference capabilities. Combining Wi‑Fi 7 2x2 and Wi-Fi 6E 2x2 with multimode Thread, Zigbee, and Bluetooth communications, it effortlessly enables HD video streaming, remote control, multi-robot collaboration, and data exchange. Concurrently paired with advanced Wi-Fi 8 2x2 and 5GHz 3T3R wireless modules, the solution ensures real-time protocol integration and high-speed data swapping among robots, significantly boosting signal transmission reliability in complex wireless environments.
Realtek’s robotic integration solutions highlighted at this exhibition, spanning core interconnectivity, high-speed transmission, and wireless communications, demonstrate robust application flexibility across both humanoid and industrial robotics. Looking ahead, Realtek will continue to deepen its technological expertise in the robotics domain, delivering more versatile and highly efficient solutions.
