Teradyne Drives Robotics Growth With AI and Key Partnership

Teradyne is strengthening its robotics position by leveraging its diverse portfolio and focusing on automation through partnerships and technological integration. 

In the third quarter of 2024, the company reported 8% year-to-date growth in Robotics, outperforming its peers in the industrial automation market, which saw declines averaging more than 10%. This growth trajectory can be attributed to Teradyne’s continuous focus on adapting to changing market demands, particularly in the robotics sector.

Despite a tough industrial macro environment, Teradyne outperformed its industrial automation peers, with growth in key areas like UR (Universal Robots) and MiR (Mobile Industrial Robots). 

This outperformance was driven by new product launches, such as Universal Robots heavy-payload robots and MiR1200 Pallet Jack, powered by AI and NVIDIA NVDA technology. These product developments helped maintain growth even in difficult conditions.

Teradyne also collaborated with NVIDIA to integrate advanced AI capabilities into its automation solutions. TER’s collaboration with NVIDIA brings new AI capabilities to automation, enhancing UR’s cobots with faster path planning and introducing MiR’s AI-powered Pallet Jack for precise autonomous pallet handling.

Further expanding its portfolio in the robotics sector, Teradyne launched UR’s AI Accelerator in October 2024, a hardware and software toolkit designed to accelerate AI-driven robotics adoption. This toolkit provides enhanced computational power and seamless integration, reinforcing Teradyne’s leadership in the field and solidifying its commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotics innovation.
