The need for more power

Almost everything around us is touched at some point by robots. There are robotic applications utilized in agricultural harvesting, warehouse inventory movement, campus delivery and consumer delivery. These robots are fueled by batteries, making power conversion efficiency – along with size/weight – critical. Power conversion needs become more and more challenging as load capacity, visual recognition and user functionality requirements further increase within the robotic application.

Longer range and run time with more payload and functionality

A better way to deliver power: Power delivery networks based on Vicor high-performance power modules enable innovative designs for robots. More flexible than a brick and easier to implement than a discrete solution, each power module is optimized for high-efficiency, density and overall performance. Vicor modules are also lightweight compared to competitive solutions, enabling robots to take on larger and heavier payloads. Power modules can also be paralleled, allowing for designs to easily scale in power as robotic power demands increase and also allow for the same power architecture to be deployed within a platform of various sized robot systems.
