IROS is where the global robotics community comes together to shape the future of intelligent robots and systems. Talks, sessions, workshops and demos cover topics like robot perception, learning, control, human-robot interaction, and real-world deployment. ADI is joining IROS in Pittsburgh, PA to connect with the researchers, builders, and companies pushing robotics beyond the lab and into demanding physical environments. 

Our booth will highlight ADI’s continued support for the robotics space. Thousands of robots in the field already benefit from ADI sensing, signal processing, power, connectivity, motor drives and actuation. Our commitment to robotics is only growing, and we will showcase our advances in AI policies, tactile sensing, environmental perception and sensor fusion, and simulation models that minimize the transferability challenge. ADI is building physical intelligence – products that perceive, reason, and react within the messy and diverse physical constraints of real-world applications.

ADI Highlights

Industrial dexterity benchmark

We launched the Industrial Dexterity Benchmark  project because the robotics field is moving beyond isolated demonstrations toward systems that must deliver measurable, repeatable performance in messy, diverse, and contact-rich industrial environments. This free benchmark (under the Creative Commons Attribution, Share-alike) is designed to bring rigor to the evaluation of robotic solutions by helping researchers, builders, and end-users test dexterous manipulation. Inspired by actual industrial use cases, its test benches offer representative samples of the complex realities found on factory floors, in data centers, and across production workflows. The booth will include test-bench examples and attendees will have a chance to speak with the project’s team.

DexAI: Tactile Sensor

Robotic manipulation benefits from additional sensing modalities, and tactile sensing is one major investment area for Analog Devices. Touch can help robots move beyond vision-only manipulation, and ADI’s AI-powered, high-resolution, multimodal tactile feedback offers many paths forward. We designed the sensor to give robots the ability to detect contact, understand object properties, and adapt during contact-rich interactions. Visitors will see how tactile intelligence can improve grasping, handling, and manipulation of objects in real-world industrial environments.

ADI Edge AI advancements

Analog Devices’ Edge AI team will showcase several broad AI applications our research teams are working on. These include Smart Fusion, incorporating IMU, wheel encoders and more to improve visual-inertial odometry and localization precision and robustness. High-fidelity models are critical to reducing the sim-to-real gap. ADI is working on precise, low-latency models for its Time-of-Flight and tactile sensing, along with other representations that will help accelerate synthetic data generation and AI policy validation. ADI’s robotic policy team is working on advancing human demonstration for robotic training, while our audio AI team developed models designed to improve humanoid context awareness by listening to environmental events.
