Elmos Semiconductor SE (FSE: ELG) will showcase innovative integrated circuit (IC) solutions for automotive and industrial electronics at electronica in Munich, taking place from November 10 to 13, 2026, in Hall C3, Booth 141. 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. For the first time, Elmos will also demonstrate how proven automotive technologies can unlock new possibilities in humanoid robotics.
The announcement matters because it underscores the growing convergence of automotive semiconductor expertise with adjacent markets such as robotics, where precise motion control, reliable sensing, and secure power distribution are equally critical. Elmos, a fabless specialist for analog mixed-signal ICs with over 40 years of experience, is positioning itself to leverage its automotive-grade technologies into new growth areas. The company has identified more than 120 potential IC applications across robotics architectures in the areas of motion, sensing, power, and connectivity, signaling a strategic expansion beyond its traditional automotive base.
At the trade show, Elmos will highlight several key application areas. In environment detection, its ultrasonic distance measurement solutions support driver-assistance systems by detecting obstacles and measuring distances with precision, enabling safe parking, maneuvering, and reliable 360-degree detection for assisted or autonomous driving. For sensing, Elmos sensor ICs measure and process parameters such as pressure, temperature, rain, and light, with integrated signal processing that filters out interference and provides reliable data for safety-critical applications like braking systems, as well as battery management and climate control.
Smart lighting is another focus, with Elmos ICs dynamically controlling LEDs to improve visibility, facilitate communication with other drivers, and allow customized interior and exterior lighting concepts. High integration and flexible interfaces support compact, high-performance lighting systems. In motion control, Elmos motor control ICs precisely, quietly, and efficiently control small electrical motors that move fans, pumps, valves, or air flaps in both 12-volt and 48-volt architectures, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency while supporting thermal management.
Safety and security round out the portfolio. Elmos offers solutions for functional safety, secure communication, and hardware-based cybersecurity, including eFuse solutions for smart power distribution and airbag solutions for reliable deployment. Notably, its 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.
The full details of Elmos’s participation can be found in the original release on www.newmediawire.com, as distributed by NEWMEDIAWIRE. For industry observers, Elmos’s move into humanoid robotics could signal a broader trend of automotive chipmakers diversifying into robotics, potentially accelerating innovation and competition in both sectors.
