Robotics and Automotive System Design: A Practical Engineering Experience at Microelectronics US
Designing modern robotics and automotive systems requires engineers to solve complex challenges across hardware, software and system architecture.
From deploying edge AI models on embedded devices to integrating sensors, managing power constraints and scaling prototypes into production systems, the path from concept to deployment is rarely straightforward.
At Microelectronics US, the Design Engineer’s Guide to Robotics & Automotive creates a dedicated space where engineers can explore these challenges with experts from across the embedded systems ecosystem.

A Technical Space for Solving Engineering Challenges
The Design Engineer’s Guide is a hands-on technical experience built for engineers working on real system design problems.
Rather than product presentations, the sessions focus on practical engineering discussions around topics such as:
-
Deploying Edge AI on embedded systems
-
Moving from prototype boards to industrial-scale deployment
-
Designing power-efficient architectures using RISC-V
-
Integrating sensors, photonics and connectivity technologies
The program is delivered in partnership with ipXchange and supported by a group of ecosystem partners working across silicon, embedded platforms and system integration.

Robotics and Automotive Across Two Focused Days
The experience is structured around two technical themes.
Day 1 – Robotics
Exploring embedded intelligence, sensor fusion and robotic system design.
Day 2 – Automotive
Examining the embedded systems and semiconductor technologies powering next-generation automotive platforms.
Each day brings together engineers and technology specialists working on real-world deployments across these sectors

Deep Dives, Engineering Discussions and Live Demonstrations
The Design Engineer’s Guide combines several practical session formats designed for engineers:
Technical Deep Dives
Short sessions addressing specific design challenges, from silicon selection to system architecture.
Engineering Office Hours
One-to-one discussions with experts from partner companies where attendees can bring schematics, design questions or architecture challenges.
Live Demonstrations
Real robotics and automotive systems in action, demonstrating the journey from semiconductor technology to functional machine.
Connecting Engineers with the Embedded Ecosystem
The programme is supported by a curated group of partners including Edge Impulse, NXP Semiconductors, RISC-V International, Arduino Pro and GRINN, representing expertise across the embedded technology stack.
By bringing together engineers from across this ecosystem, the Guide provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, explore solutions and gain practical insight into modern system design.
Join the Engineering Conversations
The Design Engineer’s Guide to Robotics & Automotive takes place during Microelectronics US, held April 22–23, 2026 at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, Texas.
Across the two days, the event will feature 100+ speakers and 100+ exhibitors exploring the technologies shaping the future of semiconductors, photonics and embedded systems.
