At the recently concluded CES, a clear consensus emerged:
Robots are no longer mere “concept demonstrations” of technology, but are rapidly becoming intelligent productivity tools capable of large-scale deployment.
Chip and platform vendors represented by Qualcomm are reshaping robot architectures through “Physical Artificial Intelligence (Physical AI)” — spanning computing, perception, decision-making, communication, and collaboration to form truly end-to-end system capabilities. This transformation enables robots to continuously learn, understand their environments, and make autonomous decisions, covering a wide range of form factors from personal service robots and logistics or retail AMRs to full-size humanoid robots.
From “Point Intelligence” to “System-Level Intelligence”
The core of next-generation robot architectures is no longer the simple stacking of computing power, but system-level collaboration that combines high performance, low power consumption, and strong connectivity.
The latest robot platforms showcased at CES commonly feature:
- High-efficiency computing architectures optimized for edge AI
- Heterogeneous computing capabilities supporting complex perception and motion planning
- Industrial-grade safety, reliability, and real-time design
- Open software stacks capable of working with large models (VLA / VLM)
These architectural changes allow robots to evolve from passively executing commands into intelligent agents capable of understanding, reasoning, and decision-making, accelerating deployment across manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and service scenarios.
A Key Bottleneck in Large-Scale Robot Deployment Is Being Underestimated
As computing platforms and AI capabilities mature, connectivity is becoming one of the decisive factors determining whether robots are truly usable in real-world environments.
Whether humanoid robots or AMRs, real deployments impose unprecedented requirements on wireless connectivity:
- Ultra-low latency for real-time perception, remote collaboration, and cloud-edge coordination
- Ultra-high bandwidth for multi-channel vision, radar, and sensor data transmission
- High reliability for stable communication in complex industrial environments
- Multi-device concurrency for robot fleet coordination and scheduling
This means traditional Wi-Fi solutions are approaching their limits. Next-generation robots require future-oriented connectivity technologies as their “neural network.”
Wi-Fi 7 Is Becoming a Standard Capability for Next-Generation Robots
Across multiple robot demonstrations at CES, Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) was frequently highlighted.
Compared with previous standards, Wi-Fi 7 offers particularly significant value for robotic applications:
- 320 MHz ultra-wide bandwidth for high-throughput data transmission
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to significantly reduce latency and jitter
- Higher-order modulation (4K QAM) to improve spectral efficiency
- Better suitability for high-density industrial and commercial environments with many devices online simultaneously
Wi-Fi 7 is not merely a speed upgrade — it is a connectivity foundation purpose-built for the Physical AI era.
From Computing to Connectivity, Truly Complete Robot Systems Are Just Taking Shape
As high-performance robot processors mature and ecosystem partners continue to join, the robotics industry is entering a new phase — transitioning from “working prototypes” to “replicable and scalable intelligent systems.”
In this process, whoever can first provide mature, stable, and mass-producible next-generation communication modules will occupy a critical position in the robotics value chain.
Building Truly Deployable Wi-Fi 7 Connectivity for the Next Generation of Robots
Against this industry backdrop, QOGRISYS has launched the O2072PM Wi-Fi 7 communication module.
O2072PM is a Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 6.0 tri-band 2×2 MIMO module designed for high-end robots, industrial equipment, and intelligent terminals. It supports 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz bands with up to 320 MHz bandwidth across all bands and delivers peak data rates of up to 5.8 Gbps, meeting stringent requirements for multi-sensor fusion, high-definition video transmission, and low-latency control.
More importantly, in the Chinese market, QOGRISYS is one of the pioneers in the Wi-Fi 7 module space. Only a handful of vendors truly possess comprehensive Wi-Fi 7 engineering capabilities, mass-production readiness, and real-world deployment experience — and QOGRISYS has already taken the lead by bridging the gap from solutions to modules, and from laboratories to real application scenarios.
As robots move beyond exhibition halls into the real world, stable, high-performance, and future-ready connectivity will become indispensable infrastructure.
O2072PM is the connectivity module built for this era.
