Elmos Semiconductor SE (FSE: ELG) will present its portfolio of innovative integrated circuit (IC) solutions for automotive and industrial electronics at electronica in Munich, held from November 10 to 13, 2026. Under the motto “We enable what matters,” the company will focus on applications that enhance safety, efficiency, and comfort, ranging from intelligent lighting and motor control to reliable environment detection and secure data communication. A key highlight will be the first-time demonstration of how proven automotive technologies can unlock new possibilities in humanoid robotics, signaling a strategic expansion into a new growth market.
The announcement matters because it underscores the increasing convergence of automotive semiconductor expertise with the emerging robotics sector. Elmos, a fabless specialist for analog mixed-signal ICs with over 40 years of experience, identifies more than 120 potential IC applications across robotics architecture in the areas of motion, sensing, power, and connectivity. By transferring its decades of automotive systems knowledge to humanoid robots, the company aims to leverage its reliability and safety credentials to address the demanding requirements of robotic platforms. This move could accelerate innovation in robotics while providing Elmos with a diversified revenue stream beyond the automotive market.
At the booth (Hall C3, Booth 141), Elmos will detail several core application areas. For environment detection, its ultrasonic distance measurement solutions support driver-assistance systems with precise obstacle detection and 360-degree sensing, enabling safe parking and maneuvering for assisted or autonomous driving. Sensor ICs measure and process parameters such as pressure, temperature, rain, and light, with integrated signal processing filtering out interference to provide reliable data for safety-critical functions like braking systems, battery management, and climate control. Smart lighting ICs dynamically control LEDs to improve visibility, facilitate communication between drivers, and enable customized interior and exterior lighting concepts. Motor control ICs precisely and efficiently drive small electrical motors in 12-volt and 48-volt architectures, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency through exact positioning of fans, pumps, valves, and air flaps.
Security and safety remain central to the portfolio. Elmos offers solutions for functional safety, secure communication, and hardware-based cybersecurity. Its eFuse solutions enable smart power distribution by monitoring and controlling power to individual consumers, while airbag solutions ensure reliable deployment. Notably, the Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG), winner of the 2026 German Innovation Award, generates truly random numbers based on quantum mechanical effects, providing a crucial foundation for secure cryptographic encryption in automotive, industrial, and IoT applications.
