Hello Embedded Professionals, Engineers, and Developers! Welcome to In Case You Missed it, the weekly news show all about Embedded technologies and solutions from Embedded Computing Design.

STMicroelectronics announced it is integrating its portfolio for advanced robotics into the reference set of components compatible with the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge (HSB). In addition, NVIDIA Isaac Sim models of ST components will be incorporated into both companies’ robotics environments allowing faster, more accurate sim-to-real research and development. The goal is to accelerate global expansion of physical AI systems, including humanoid, industrial, service, and healthcare robots.

The requirements for today’s microcontrollers are increasing, with growing demands for improved power efficiency, real-time networking capabilities, and reliable processing and compatibility for vision and audio tasks. Applications relying on these must often shift away from traditional MCUs and toward modern microcontrollers that are capable of handling higher-performance computing, AI acceleration, and more.

STMicroelectronics has plans to acquire NXP Semiconductors’ MEMS sensors business which is primarily focused on automotive safety and industrial applications. The portfolio consists of automotive safety sensors, both passive (airbags) and active (vehicle dynamics), as well as monitoring sensors such as TPMS, engine management, convenience, and security. For industrial applications, the portfolio includes pressure sensors and accelerometers.

Klika Tech and STMicroelectronics will co-exhibit at Sensors Converge 2025 highlighting two production-ready Solution Accelerators leveraging Amazon Sidewalk and STM32 microcontrollers. Visit booth 936 for live demonstrations focusing on how the intelligent edge solutions utilize sensors and low-energy connectivity from Amazon Sidewalk to unlock scalable real-time analysis supporting low-cost deployments for Smart City applications.
