Robotics & Drones

High-performance electronics for mobile, autonomous and fleet-based systems

Robotics, AGVs and drones operate in dynamic environments where conditions shift quickly and are often unpredictable. These systems require a balance of processing power, weight efficiency, connectivity and well-controlled energy use. At the same time, they increasingly rely on autonomy, sensor fusion and real-time decision-making to operate safely and effectively. 

Failures in robotics and drone applications are rarely isolated. System success can be directly affected by loss of communication, unstable power or degraded sensor performance. Design decisions made early in a project improve reliability the ability to maintain fleets over time.

Environmental & regulatory requirements in Robotics & Drones market

Electronics used in robotics and drone applications must comply with environmental, safety and regulatory requirements that reflect their mobile and often safety-critical nature. These requirements define whether systems can be deployed, scaled and supported throughout their operational life.

System requirements in this sector typical comply with:

  • Shock and vibration resistance according to IEC 60068
  • Ingress protection suitable for outdoor or industrial environments
  • Wireless compliance such as CE RED, FCC, IC and TeLEC
  • Functional safety standards such as ISO 13849-1 for robotic systems
  • Battery safety certifications including UN 38.3 and IEC 62133-2
  • Environmental compliance including RoHS, REACH and WEEE
  • Long-term availability to support fleet continuity and industrial-grade productions to assure a long lifecycle

For AGVs and mobile robots, optimising the energy density to weight ratio is critical. Selecting battery systems and power architectures early helps minimise vehicle mass while maintaining sufficient operating time.

The reality of robotics and drone system lifecycles

Robots, AGVs and drones operate in dynamic environments where conditions change continuously. They are exposed to vibration, shock, temperature variation and other unpredictable interactions. At the same time, these systems increasingly rely on autonomous behaviour, sensor fusion and real-time decision-making. Failures are not limited to hardware faults – loss of communication, power instability or degraded sensor performance can directly impact mission success and safety.

Once robotic systems are deployed (especially in fleets), changes become complex. Hardware choices made early in a project influence the stability of the system, safety certification, energy efficiency and the ability to maintain or scale deployments over time.

What typically goes wrong late in robotics and drone projects

Many issues in robotics and drone projects emerge after systems are already in operation. Components that perform well in isolated tests may behave differently when exposed to continuous vibration, thermal cycling, or peak power demand. Wireless links can become unstable in real-world environments and small variations in sensor behaviour can affect autonomy and navigation accuracy.

In fleet deployments, component end-of-life or unplanned changes can force redesigns across multiple units. Updating hardware without disrupting software, calibration or safety validation is often difficult, especially when systems are already deployed in the field.

How Texim Europe reduces these risks early

Texim Europe addresses these challenges at the start of the design process. Together with manufacturers of robotic and autonomous systems, we focus on selecting technologies that are not only certified to relevant standards such as IEC, ISO, CE and UN requirements, but proven in mobile and autonomous applications.

The modules, devices and components are evaluated with system-level behaviour in mind. This includes power stability under peak load, communication robustness, sensor accuracy over time and long-term availability. During the co-design phase, we support in-field validation using representative samples to identify integration risks before systems are scaled or deployed in fleets.

What this means over the full lifecycle

Robotic and drone systems are often deployed as fleets and expected to evolve incrementally rather than be redesigned from scratch. Component choices must therefore align with supplier roadmaps, backward compatibility and predictable migration paths. Texim Europe actively manages lifecycle continuity by monitoring product changes, end-of-life notifications and compatible alternatives, while considering the impact on existing hardware, software integration and safety validation.

This reduces the risk of forced redesigns and helps maintain consistent behaviour and performance across deployed systems.

We help you build robotic and autonomous systems that remain reliable, scalable and supportable throughout their operational lifetime.

In practice, this makes Texim Europe a long-term technology partner for environmental and safety projects, not just a component supplier.

Proven use cases in robotic and drone equipment

Texim Europe supports a wide range of robotic and autonomous applications where reliability, autonomy and scalability are critical:

  • Autonomous robots with embedded AI edge computing and safety-certified sensors
  • Industrial inspection drones (UAVs) with GNSS, IMUs and vision systems
  • Automated Guided Vehicles with hot-swappable battery systems for continuous autonomous operation
  • Swarm and fleet robotics using 5G and secure, low-latency wireless connectivity

In UAV applications, combining high-density lithium batteries with supercapacitors helps handle peak power demand during take-off and manoeuvring, while extending overall battery lifetime.
