Arrow, STMicroelectronics Unveil Industrial AMR Platform

Arrow Electronics and STMicroelectronics Launch Industrial AMR Reference Platform to Speed Robot Deployment 

New Delhi, India — June 26, 2026 — Arrow Electronics and STMicroelectronics (ST) have introduced a new industrial Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) reference platform designed to shorten the path from concept to deployment for professional service robots, addressing a key bottleneck for original equipment manufacturers and integrators in the global Autonomous Mobile Robot market. Arrow Electronics and STMicroelectronics (ST) unveil a new industrial Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) reference platform to shorten the path from concept to deployment for professional service robots.

The collaboration aims to help robotics manufacturers overcome the difficulty of independently assembling, validating, and industrializing complex AMR subsystems such as navigation, perception, and energy management. Many robotics original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and integrators struggle to assemble, validate, and industrialize these complex subsystems independently.

Developed by Arrow and eInfochips in partnership with ST, the AMR kit is built on a complete ST bill of materials and integrated with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano-based compute platform and the NVIDIA ROS 2 software stack. Arrow and eInfochips worked with ST to deliver a fully functional AMR kit built on a complete ST bill of materials, tightly integrated with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano–based compute platform and NVIDIA ROS 2 software stack.

Key Highlights: 

• The reference kit features robust power and battery management for 24V operation, with a pre-validated path to 48V architectures, and an STM32-based real-time controller board.

According to Shelby Schnurrenberger, vice president of supplier management, global semiconductor at Arrow Electronics, the solution gives customers a scalable foundation that can address a broad range of industrial and commercial robotics applications. "This solution brings together the performance, flexibility, and pre-validated integration robotics customers need to move faster from development to deployment, while giving them a scalable foundation that can address a broad range of industrial and commercial robotics applications," said Shelby Schnurrenberger, vice president of supplier management, global semiconductor, Arrow Electronics.

Analyst Insight: 

NMSC analysts note that the Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) market is projected to reach USD 3.13 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2024 to 2030. The Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Market size was valued at USD 1.24 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 3.13 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 13.4% from 2024 to 2030.</cite> According to analysts at Next Move Strategy Consulting, the integration of advanced sensors such as LiDAR shapes the future outlook for AMRs, while high implementation and maintenance costs remain the principal restraining factor on broader adoption. The integration of advanced sensors such as LiDAR creates future outlook for the AMRs. High implementation and maintenance cost of AMRs hinders the market.

Industry Outlook: 

Pre-validated, system-level reference designs such as the Arrow-ST platform are positioned to reduce development risk and integration effort across the robotics ecosystem, potentially accelerating the transition from prototype to production. As Industry 4.0 adoption and e-commerce-driven logistics demand continue to expand, particularly across North America and Asia-Pacific, such standardized building blocks may support sustained growth in industrial and commercial AMR deployments through the forecast period.
