Featured Robotics Partners
The AMD Robotics Partner Directory brings together a global ecosystem of companies building robotics boards, modules, kits, and embedded solutions for robot OEMs. From hardware solutions to AI software and full-system integration, partners in this ecosystem enable customers to move from concept to deployment with confidence.
Validated on AMD
Qualified partner platforms may be eligible for AMD ecosystem listings after meeting defined platform readiness criteria. Validation may include hardware bring-up, software compatibility, thermal and power alignment, performance characterization, ROS 2 and middleware interoperability, documentation readiness, and supportability requirements.
Validation helps robot manufacturers identify boards, modules, kits, and embedded compute systems designed for robotics development and deployment. It does not replace partner-owned regulatory, safety, or end-system certification obligations.

Partner Ecosystem Benefits
A coordinated ecosystem where every partner type drives deployable, production-ready robotics hardware solutions. Partners can connect with a network of ODMs, ISVs, IHVs, and integrators that support robotics platform development and deployment — meaning you don’t have to solve the full stack alone. Partners span the full robotics stack, each contributing to building deployable, production-ready systems.
ODMs
- Faster platform development using validated system designs
- Reduced integration complexity
ISVs & Models
- Expanded market reach
- Accelerated customer adoption
System Integrators
- Access to validated solutions and partner network
- Lead sharing and deployment opportunities
IHVs
- Training environments and digital twins coming soon
- Mapped design to cloud high-performance CPUs
Middleware & Runtime
- Control systems and ROS 2
- Real-time frameworks and interoperability
Program Tiers
Partners progress through a tiered journey, starting as Registered Partners, who can join without an AMD sponsor and gain access to foundational training and program resources. As they advance to higher engagement levels, partners receive enhanced technical, validation, marketing, and go-to-market support, helping them accelerate demand generation and scale joint robotics deployments worldwide.

Ready to Build on AMD?
Robotics platform partners can help OEMs reduce integration risk, support common robotics software workflows, and provide a path from prototype to production. AMD robotics partner solutions help OEMs evaluate, integrate, and scale robotics compute without starting from a blank hardware design.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Program Basics
A partner ecosystem program to help OEMs build, validate, and commercialize robotics and Physical AI solutions using AMD technologies across edge and embedded.
ISVs (models/simulation/twin/software), IHVs (sensors/actuators/peripherals), ODMs, system integrators / design services firms, and solution providers delivering deployable products.
No. The Developer Program focuses on individual builders, academia, and early prototyping. The Partner Program focuses on supporting OEMs that ship, integrate, certify, and support solutions at scale.
There is no cost to join.
Tiers include Registered, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, based on technical readiness, validation status, and joint go-to-market scope.
Eligibility & Onboarding
Submit your interest in joining here (company details, solution overview, target verticals, deployment model, and AMD technology alignment). The program team will respond with next steps.
Registered onboarding can be fast (days); advanced tiers may have additional qualification criteria.
Yes. Startups may join the AMD Robotics Partner Network.
Typically, these organizations are better served through the Developer Program or the AMD University Program; exceptions may exist for labs commercializing IP or running joint validation centers.
Technical Enablement
The AMD Kria™ AI Robotics platform leverages high-performance and adaptive compute to deliver scalable, deterministic, real-time compute across humanoids and autonomous machines.
Depending on tier: enablement guides, SDK access, reference architectures, sample code, integration best practices, and access to partner support escalations.
The program is designed to align with ROS 2-based robotics stacks and common middleware patterns; support specifics depend on validated configurations and partner needs.
Yes—where available. Reference designs may cover edge inference nodes, robot controllers, sensor pipelines, and data center training/inference patterns.
Partners own end-to-end solution integration, including peripheral drivers, BSP customization, application behavior, and deployment hardening.
Validation, Interoperability, And Compliance
It means the solution has passed defined interoperability and performance tests on an agreed AMD platform configuration and meets documentation requirements for supportability.
Validation can include platform bring-up, driver/runtime compatibility, robotics middleware compatibility, performance benchmarks, and deployment requirements.
The OEM/ODM/brand owner is responsible for regulatory certifications. AMD provides platform guidance and recommended practices.
For some tiers/markets, yes. An SBOM helps customers assess security risk and accelerates vulnerability response.
Secure update mechanisms, vulnerability response processes, strong key management, and reasonable hardening aligned to customer requirements. Requirements vary by tier and vertical.
AMD does not certify the partner’s full robot/system. Partners own safety cases and certification pathways; AMD may provide safety-ready architectural guidance where applicable.
Go-To-Market (GTM) And Commercial Benefits
Depending on tier: partner listing, joint solution briefs, co-marketing opportunities, event participation, and field enablement for qualified solutions.
For validated solutions and higher tiers, yes—typically through coordinated account planning and collateral.
Yes, subject to meeting listing requirements (solution description, supported configurations, support contacts, and optional validation status).
Potentially for select partners and campaigns, subject to tier, business plan, and regional availability.
Support & Resources
Registered partners receive access to standard enablement resources such as support forums. Higher tiers may receive partner engineering escalations, integration reviews, and structured validation support.
Partners submit issues through defined channels with reproducible steps, logs, versions, and hardware configs. Ownership is triaged between AMD, the partner, and any third-party component provider.
Where available, the program will publish supported stack versions and lifecycle guidance. Partners are responsible for validating their solution against updates.
IP, Branding, and Legal
Each party retains its pre-existing IP. Joint development terms depend on the specific engagement agreement.
Partners may use approved program badges and messaging according to brand guidelines and only for qualified solutions.
An NDA is required for partner program membership.
Getting Started
