Webinar – Power, Connectivity, Sensing, and Motion Control Accelerating Innovation

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, sensing technologies, connectivity, and high-performance computing are enabling a new class of robots capable of performing complex tasks alone or alongside human workers. As manufacturers pursue greater efficiency, scalability, and workforce resilience, humanoid robotics is emerging as the next evolution of industrial automation.

Robots rely on a tightly integrated collection of subsystems, including perception sensors, AI processing platforms, motion control systems, power distribution networks, and high-speed communication infrastructure. These technologies must work together seamlessly to deliver human-like mobility, intelligence, and decision-making capabilities.

In this webinar, Elena Dugger, New Market Development Manager for Molex explores the technologies powering next-generation robots and examines the design trends shaping the industry. Attendees will gain insight into the critical engineering considerations behind intelligent robotic systems, including miniaturization, reliable power and signal transmission, high-bandwidth data communication, ruggedized designs, and modular architectures that support scalability and maintainability.

The session will also highlight how advances in connectivity are helping engineers overcome many of these challenges. From enabling faster data transfer between sensors and processors to supporting reliable power delivery in compact form factors, innovative interconnect solutions are playing a vital role in making humanoid robotics commercially viable.

Key Topics Include:

• Why humanoid robots are gaining momentum today
• An overview of key robotic subsystems and architectures
• Emerging design trends and engineering challenges
• Molex connectivity and interconnect solutions
• Key takeaways and future industry outlook

Whether you're developing robotic systems, designing automation solutions, or simply exploring the future of industrial technology, this webinar offers valuable insights into the innovations driving humanoid robotics forward.
