TAIPEI, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in AIoT and Edge Computing, is strengthening its commitment to the rapidly expanding robotics market by enabling seamless, scalable vision integration across Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), humanoid robots, robotic arms, and next‑generation edge AI systems.
In all modern robotic platforms, vision is the foundation for perception, safety, and autonomy—but also one of the most challenging subsystems to integrate. GMSL2/3 cameras have become the industry standard for high‑bandwidth, low‑latency perception, yet the bring‑up process—especially with advanced SoCs—frequently requires weeks of kernel‑level optimization and vendor‑specific driver tuning.
Breaking the Bottleneck: Pre-Validated GMSL Cameras
Whether enabling SLAM navigation in AMRs, stereo depth perception for humanoid locomotion, or high‑speed industrial inspection for robotic arms, developers face the same barriers:
- Desired cameras are often not supported on the preferred edge computing platforms
- Reference designs published by CPU vendors are not applicable
- High cost of camera enablement
- Camera drivers are not upgraded with the latest edge computer BSP and OS
Advantech closes this gap through deep collaborations with NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel, and Rockchip. By mastering the driver and kernel requirements of each ecosystem, Advantech provides production‑ready, pre-validated GMSL drivers in association with top-notch camera vendors.
Expansive Camera Ecosystem and Joint Design-in Service
Advantech AFE/ASR series support a broad portfolio of validated GMSL2/3 cameras, covering the full breadth of perception needs across different robot types. Developers can choose from 2D, Stereo, and 3D cameras made by the following partners:
- APPRO
- Basler
- D3 Embedded
- e-con
- FRAMOS
- innodisk
- Leopard Imaging
- Orbbec
- oToBrite
- RealSense
- SENSING
- StereoLabs
Advantech and the camera partners jointly provide design-in service that accelerates robotics vision development by supporting new camera‑SoC enablement, optimal sensor selection, image quality tuning, and customized driver development. This collaboration streamlines integration, shortens development cycles while ensuring reliable and scalable deployment across diverse robotic platforms and applications.
One‑Click Installation and Long-Term BSP Support
At the center of Advantech's vision strategy is the One‑Click Installation Package, which transforms camera integration from a complex engineering task into a simple, streamlined experience.
GMSL camera drivers are included and maintained in the board support packages (BSPs) of Advantech's robotics controllers, particularly the AFE and ASR series. In addition, the drivers are provided as ROS Nodes within the Robotic Suite—a complementary software package consisting of open-source toolkits like ROS2 and Autoware, optimized AI inferencing SDKs, and sample codes for robotic applications.
Multi‑Architecture Robotics Controller Series
Designed for real‑time responsiveness and high‑performance edge AI processing, the AFE/ASR series deliver reliable perception, motion control, and multi‑sensor integration within a unified software environment. Turnkey GMSL enablement, continuous driver maintenance, and streamlined sensor integration significantly accelerate deployment across diverse robotic applications.
The AFE/ASR series are available as commercial off‑the‑shelf carrier boards and system‑level products built on leading processor platforms, including NVIDIA® Jetson™ Thor, Jetson AGX Orin™, Jetson Orin™ NX, Qualcomm® Robotics platforms such as the IQ9 series, Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, and Rockchip RK3588‑based solutions. This broad platform coverage enables design flexibility, modular scalability, and long‑lifecycle availability, providing robotics developers with a stable foundation for building next‑generation autonomous systems.

PANAMA CITY, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A Japanese baby monkey, Punch, tightly clutching his stuffed toy "Ora-mama," has captured hearts globally. Born at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan and abandoned by his mother, this macaque attracted global attention through his resilience and deeply emotional bond with his toy. This story of perseverance is closely intertwined with HTX's philanthropic mission.
A Warm Commitment from the Crypto World
In February 2026, Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, officially announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he would donate $100,000 to improve Punch's habitat at Ichikawa City Zoo, support his growth, and appoint Punch the monkey as the official Brand Ambassador of HTX.
Punch's experience is a powerful testament to resilience and companionship, touching the softest corners of the human heart. Born physically weak, he was soon abandoned by his biological mother. Without proper nurturing and guidance, Punch struggled to integrate into the monkey troop and was ostracized by his peers. In his lonely upbringing, a stuffed orangutan toy given by zoo caretakers became a symbolic mother figure and an emotional anchor. Punch held onto the toy every day; even after being bullied by other monkeys, he would run back to tightly embrace his "mother." The video of this touching bond spread worldwide, making Punch one of the most moving animal stories of the year.
"Punch, the bravest little macaque, has captured the world's heart," Justin Sun said. "HTX.com are deeply moved by his resilience. To ensure he gets the best care at Ichikawa City Zoo, HTX is pledging a $100,000 donation to support his growth and habitat."
Why appoint Punch as one of HTX's brand ambassadors? The answer lies within his story.
Despite a tragic beginning and rejection from his own kind, Punch has demonstrated extraordinary vitality. His spirit closely mirrors the perseverance and growth of HTX and countless Web3 builders who continue to thrive amid industry cycles and challenges. Throughout his life journey, the toy "mother" provided him with emotional strength and the will to survive. In the same way, HTX aspires to be a trusted companion, one that tens of millions of global users and communities in need can rely on.
Philanthropy as HTX's Long-Term Commitment
For HTX, responsibility goes beyond maintaining stable platform operations and continuously optimizing services. It also means actively addressing global social needs and supporting vulnerable communities through sustained action.
