Future Electronics Features onsemi Webinar on Intelligent Sensing and Power Solutions for Autonomous Drones - The Norfolk Daily News

As drone technology advances, the industry is rapidly evolving toward Physical AI systems capable of real-time perception, local decision-making, and autonomous action at the edge. onsemi's upcoming w... Read original →

onsemi’s push into edge-intelligent drones marks a strategic shift from supplying components to defining system architecture—its sensing and power portfolio covering up to 90% of BOM pressures MCU vendors to integrate analog and power functions, triggering reallocation of 8-inch wafer capacity upstream. Amid tightening U.S.-EU AI export controls, highly integrated autonomous perception chips risk inclusion in emerging technology restrictions, raising compliance costs and accelerating supply chain diversification to Mexico or Vietnam. Competitors like TI and ST will likely counter with open, multi-sensor fusion reference platforms. Within 18 months, Physical AI will catalyze a new SoC category unifying perception, decision, and actuation; Taiwan, China-based foundries lacking access to advanced BCD processes may be sidelined in high-end drone markets.
