Aptiv and Comau announced a collaboration to jointly develop technologies in advanced robotics, autonomous systems, and automated warehouse & logistics systems.
Aptiv and Comau announced a collaboration to explore the co-development of next-generation intelligent automation technologies designed to help industrial customers operate more safely, efficiently and autonomously.
The companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing a framework to evaluate joint development in key focus areas, including advanced robotics, autonomous systems, and automated warehouse and logistics systems.
The companies stated that the proposed collaboration combines Aptiv’s portfolio, including Wind River edge platforms, Aptiv PULSE sensors, and high-performance interconnect offerings, with Comau’s technology portfolio and experience in robotics, automation, and large-scale deployment across complex production environments worldwide.
“Robotics and industrial automation are evolving quickly, with systems that sense, think, and act in real time at the edge,” said Jay Bellissimo, senior vice president, and president, intelligent systems, software and services, Aptiv. “Through our work with Comau, we aim to combine Aptiv’s advanced perception, compute, and software solutions with Comau’s deep expertise in robotics and large-scale industrial deployment, to help customers build smarter, safer automation without the cost and complexity that has historically slowed adoption.”
The companies said that this initial phase of the cooperation is expected to explore several high-value use cases across the industrial automation landscape:
“Comau’s planned partnership with Aptiv creates a powerful combination of complementary strengths,” said Giovanni Volpes, chief extended Europe officer, Comau. “Together, we can deliver advanced robotic and digital solutions that help customers in many different sectors modernize operations, accelerate AI adoption, and prepare for a future where autonomy is foundational to industrial productivity.”
The companies said that this collaboration seeks to build on Comau’s longstanding use of Wind River’s VxWorks in its industrial controllers as well as the use of Comau robots in Aptiv manufacturing facilities. The goal is to extend the relationship across Aptiv’s broader portfolio of perception, compute, sensing and interconnect offerings.
