BARCELONA, Spain — Robotics will become a “larger opportunity” for Qualcomm
within the next two years, CEO Cristiano Amon told CNBC, as the chip giant continues its foray into areas beyond the smartphone.
In January, Qualcomm launched a robotics processor under the Dragonwing brand name, as it looks to create a chipset that can work on multiple robotics platforms. It’s a similar approach the company has taken to smartphones, where its Snapdragon processors have become a key chip used by electronics companies.
“I think robotics will start to get scale within the next two years,” Amon told CNBC on Monday, in response to a question about when robotics becomes a material business for Qualcomm.
