Aptiv and Comau Partner to Co-Develop Next-Gen Robotics and Industrial Automation Solutions
Aptiv and Comau signed a memorandum of understanding to co-develop intelligent automation solutions for robotics, autonomous systems, and industrial logistics.
What Happened
Aptiv and Comau have announced a collaboration to co-develop next-generation intelligent automation solutions. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) establishes a framework for joint development in advanced robotics, autonomous systems, and automated warehouse and logistics systems. The goal is to help industrial customers operate more safely, efficiently, and autonomously.
- Advanced Robotics: Next-gen perception and compute for AMRs and CoBots
- AI-Enabled Warehouse & Logistics Automation: Enhancing Comau’s Automha software with Wind River cloud and edge technologies
- High-Performance Interconnect: Ruggedized cabling and connectors for robotic applications
- Radar & Vision-Based Industrial Safety: Alternative safety architecture with deterministic compute
“Robotics and industrial automation are evolving quickly, with systems that sense, think, and act in real time at the edge. Through our work with Comau, we aim to combine Aptiv’s advanced perception, compute, and software solutions with Comau’s deep expertise in robotics and large-scale industrial deployment, to help customers build smarter, safer automation without the cost and complexity that has”
Why this matters
The collaboration aims to combine Aptiv's perception and compute technologies with Comau's robotics expertise to make industrial automation safer, smarter, and more cost-effective, potentially accelerating adoption across manufacturing and logistics.
