What's the News? Today at Advancing AI 2026, AMD announced the AMD Robotics Partner Network, bringing together a broad ecosystem of validated hardware and software partners to accelerate the development and deployment of robotics and physical AI systems powered by AMD platforms. The program connects original design manufacturers (ODMs), independent software vendors (ISVs), simulation providers, sensor and perception companies, safety and benchmarking partners, and system integrators through common AMD hardware and a software foundation built on open standards.
Why It Matters? Robotics and physical AI represent one of the most important frontiers for adaptive and high-performance computing. As robotics and physical AI projects move rapidly from research and proof-of-concept into real-world deployment, the AMD Robotics Partner Network is designed to help customers streamline development, validate systems before deployment, reduce integration complexity and accelerate the path from prototype to production without dependence on proprietary runtimes or closed development environments.
What Does the AMD Robotics Partner Network Offer? The partner network brings together ODMs and AI model partners to provide reference platforms and systems for rapid integration, while middleware, sensor, robotics technologies and integration partners deliver optimized robotics software and pipelines. Simulation and validation partners support digital twin development, testing and AI model training.
