About Yiwei Semiconductor
Established in 2014 in Hengqin, Zhuhai, Yiwei Semiconductor, operating under the brand Amicro, has carved out a specialized niche in the semiconductor industry by focusing on high-integration, digital-analog hybrid Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) for the burgeoning robotics market. The company was founded by Jiang Xinqiao to address the growing need for sophisticated processing units in intelligent machines. Amicro operates on a business-to-business model, supplying manufacturers with platform-level turnkey solutions that bundle its proprietary chips with advanced algorithms.
Read full description
The core of Amicro's business is the design and sale of processors tailored for robotic applications, particularly in the areas of personal and professional service robots. Its revenue is generated through the sale of these specialized chips and associated development platforms to a client base that includes prominent international and domestic brands like Xiaomi, Haier, Midea, Anker, and KARCHER. This approach has led to significant commercial traction, with millions of its chipsets being integrated into cleaning robots alone. The company offers an open development platform, complete with hardware and software development kits (HDK/SDK), enabling clients such as ODMs, brand owners, and solution developers to build their own unique robotics products.
Amicro's product portfolio is distinguished by its focus on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology, a critical function for autonomous navigation. The company provides a comprehensive range of solutions covering inertial (eSLAM), laser (Lidar SLAM), and visual (VSLAM) navigation techniques. Its product line includes several series of Robot Motion Control SoCs, such as the AM380S, AM580, and the AM890, which is designed for multi-sensor fusion. These SoCs feature integrated 32-bit CPUs, DSP cores, and dedicated hardware accelerators to efficiently handle complex computations for mapping, navigation, and sensor data processing, offering a more power-efficient alternative to general-purpose processors. Beyond robotics, the company's technical capabilities extend to high-performance analog devices, fast-charging protocol SoCs, and automotive-grade microcontrollers (MCUs).
