“Precise motion control, accurate sensing, and efficient power management are fundamental to advanced robotic manipulation”
Harpal J.S. Mandaher, CEO and co-founder of Sarcomere Dynamics Inc.
“We’re proud to partner with Allegro to integrate their advanced motion controllers, sensors, and power ICs into our Scorpion gripper and are on track to extend this collaboration to our next-generation ARTUS Dex – a 24-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic hand that delivers near-human dexterity for advanced physical AI applications.”
Andreas Friedrich, Senior Director of Technology & Strategy at Allegro MicroSystems
“In fixed industrial robots, weight and space are less constrained because thick cables, large external drives and liquid cooling are practical”
Andreas Friedrich, Senior Director of Technology & Strategy at Allegro MicroSystems
“But in autonomous humanoids with 30-plus degrees of freedom, every gram and millimeter matters. By combining true 48V power management, robust motor and gate drivers, stray-field-immune inductive and compact TMR sensors, we give robotics engineers integrated, safety-ready building blocks to maximize torque, manage tight tolerances, and enable fluid motion.”
MANCHESTER, N.H., Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro”) (Nasdaq: ALGM), a global leader for motion control and energy-efficient systems, is expanding its robotics portfolio with precision sensing and 48V power architectures to address key hardware challenges in physical AI, including torque density, thermal management, and functional safety for human-robot collaboration.
Key Portfolio Innovations Include: * 48V Power Integration: The A81481 48V power management IC (PMIC) reduces overall system footprint and hardware costs by 50% while accelerating time-to-market for robotics OEMs. * High-Torque Joint Precision: The A17802 and A17803 inductive position sensors deliver stray-field immunity without supplemental shielding and tolerate mechanical air-gap variations. * Micro-Joint Dexterity: The CT310 XtremeSense™ TMR and A33023 Hall-effect angle sensors deliver sub-degree, solid-state accuracy to replace bulky wire-wound resolvers and optical encoders. “Precise motion control, accurate sensing, and efficient power management are fundamental to advanced robotic manipulation,” said Harpal J.S. Mandaher, CEO and co-founder of Sarcomere Dynamics Inc. “We’re proud to partner with Allegro to integrate their advanced motion controllers, sensors, and power ICs into our Scorpion gripper and are on track to extend this collaboration to our next-generation ARTUS Dex – a 24-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic hand that delivers near-human dexterity for advanced physical AI applications.”
